A COUPLE OF WEIGHT LOSS TIPS

If you are trying to get rid of a few stubborn pounds, and you feel like you have tried everything, here are a couple of simple tips that might be helpful:

• Keep a food diary for one or two weeks just to see what you are eating. Write down everything you eat, including all snacks, and that includes grabbing a cookie, etc as you walk by. Buy the way, include drinks in that diary. Write down EVERYTHING, don't cheat on yourself. When you look back in the diary, you will probably be surprised at exactly how much you are eating, calories you are taking in and how little water you are drinking.  
• Don't skip meals. In fact, 5 small meals or snacks during the day is better than one or two large meals with snacking in between. Don't skip meals so you can eat more at the next meal. This causes overeating at that next meal.
