Fat Wars Weight Loss Secrets Revealed

The Bottom Line

Following this type of plan will lead to permanent weight loss without putting your health at risk.

1. Eat Breakfast - Skipping breakfast can stall your metabolism and cause a weight loss plateau.
2. Watch Portions - Eating too much of even healthier foods can stall your weight loss if the increased portions cause your caloric intake to spike. (As you lose weight you need fewer calories.)
3. Choose Whole Grains - Choose whole grains over "white" carbs and you'll regulate your blood sugar and feel fuller longer, both of which will keep your appetite in check.
4. Pump Some Iron - The benefits of strength training continue when you're at rest! Your metabolism stays raised
5. Fill Up with Fiber - Fiber helps you stay fuller longer and may even keep blood sugar in check -- two benefits that can help with long-term weight management.
6. Walk Smarter - Make that brisk walk a little more intense and you'll burn more calories and build more muscle.
7. Get Goals in Check - Make sure you really do need to lose those 10 pounds! Re-assess your goals and how far you've come ... maybe you're a-okay where you are.
8. Keep a Food Diary - If you've stopped writing down your food intake ... start again. You may be eating more -- and more often -- than you think.
9. Handle Emotional Eating - Emotional eating could be keeping on those last few pounds -- learn to cope and the pounds just might melt.
10. Don't Take Calories too Low - Cutting calories too low can have an adverse effect. You may actually stop losing weight if you're not eating enough.
