I watch what I eat and I sometimes just walk just to have exercise. I resort to drinking those "coffee" slimming drinks, pills etc. It worked for quite sometime but if you won't maintain drinking them you'll be fat again. I believe every one who wanted to loose weight should first always consult your doctor or nutritionist before engaging to any kind of weight loss or diet. This is because not 2 people have the same body functions, you should not easily fall for those fancy words that you'll get thinner by 1 month. Some may have fast metabolism and can get slim easily while some has to need to put extra effort just to loose weight. Learn more about your body so you'll know what will be the best diet program for you. Live a healthy life style and be more disciplined in what you're doing. Dedication is the key so you may achieve the weight that you like.

There are a lot of diet plans, pills and programs available but without your willingness, they are all useless. When we are young, our motivation to lose weight is to look more attractive, to be able to fit in the clothes we like. Before it was not because of health reasons. But as we grow older we realize that we need to lose weight or watch what we eat to prevent certain illnesses. For most adults, having a healthy body means a longer life to spend with your family, and that is is my motivation. Also, find yourself a fitness buddy, it can be your husband, your best friend, or your boyfriend. You and your fitness buddy can help each other out in sticking with your diet plans and it also makes dieting more fun. Motivation and self-control play an important part in sticking to one’s diet.

I had tried two diet plans. First was the after-6PM habit. Obviously, I was not allowed to eat after 6:00PM. So, I had to eat everything that I want before that time. But of course, I was still cautious of what I ate then. Otherwise, the above stated plan would have been disastrous also. Second was the "no carbo" for dinner diet. I only ate mostly fruits and vegetables at that time. I needed to stick to these diet plans before to slim down my waistline. Trust me, they work pretty well.

But one thing that I've found that really helps is the fact that I weight myself each and everyday, not every hour though because that may be sign of a mental disease. Doing this make me more conscious of what I eat, resulting into a stricter mindset for me. This does not only benefit me as well, because studies have proven that people who weight themselves atleast four times a week are more likely to lose weight than those who do not weight themselves in a month. It also helps to speed up your metabolism by eating 6 meals a day, with two-three hours interval, these meals should consist of nutrient-rich food not bigger than your fist.

One of the reasons why it is difficult is because we tend to see it as "work" and therefore requires effort. First and foremost we should have a different mindset when we formulate our diet and exercise plan. For the diet plan it would be helpful if we not deprive ourselves with food rather eat what we want in small portions. For the exercise plan we should do something that we enjoy like walking the dog around the neighborhood or playing basketball with friends or skateboarding. We should set realistic goals so that we wil not be disappointed. Being on diet and sticking to it is probably one of the hardest thing to do.
