It’s not only professionals who know ways to lose weight fast, regular people post some ideas too.

Eat grilled or boiled meat such as steak and chicken instead of fried meat. Add red pepper to make it taste even better.

Give up the soda. If you drink a soda or two every day you are adding empty calories. If you find it hard to stop completely, cut back at first and drink water instead|Stop drinking soda. Those are empty calories so cut back and substitute water. (Note that the average person adds 90,000 calories a year from drinking juice or soda. WOW! That’s a great tip).

If there’s no junk food at home you can’t eat it. Make a list, stick to the list.

Treat yourself at least once a week to the foods you really like. That will help you avoid binging when you experience cravings. When you treat, don’t go to extremes.

Use a smaller plate to trick yourself into thinking you’re eating more than you really are. (Not only are you tricking yourself, even if the trick doesn’t work it’s easier to stop eating when the plate is empty and there’s no more food available.)

Get poor. Throw away your money so you can’t afford food. (Um, no. That’s a bad idea).

Stay away from fad diets. They starve you and then you eat more when the diet is over.

Exercise at every opportunity, even at the desk with some leg lifts. (That’s a great idea to increase caloric burn).

Measure your food. If you have junk food make sure to measure and control the portion. (Portion control is a big part of a healthy diet. Most restaurants and even people at home serve too much food).

Get really sick. After a month in the hospital I had lost 25 pounds. (Another bad idea. It’s best to stick to ways to lose weight while remaining healthy. After all, the ultimate goal is good health).

Create good eating habits through repetition. (It’s said that if we repeat a thing 21 times it becomes a habit. Sometimes the number is different, but the idea is the same. Will power is only necessary to repeat something enough times for it to become turn into a habit).

When you eat rapidly the body doesn’t have time to feel full. Go slow.

The folks out there know a lot about weight loss. Ask your friends for support and more ideas.
