Online searches for tips to lose weight naturally, diets to lose weight and natural weight loss solutions have increased exponentially despite the fact that overweight and obesity continue to reach alarming proportions in North America. To get you started on your chosen weight loss program, I have compiled for you essential tips to lose weight effectively. I separated these tips into two categories.

I. Tips to lose weight: The starting point

• A succesful weight loss program will bring about life style changes easily adaptable to your busy life. The changes will include new foods, new eating habits, an increase in your physical activities and a new way of thinking.
• It is important that you work smart and not hard. Set your goal. Break up your goal into small easily achievable actions. Your small actions will lead to big changes.
• Be persistent. Success comes with persistence. Overcome challenges one step at a time. Persistence will lead you to developing new habits. As time passes the habits will become automatic.
• Do not rush the process of your weight loss. Aim at losing 1-2 pounds per week. Slower results have been shown to yield lasting weight loss. You will get accustomed to the changes you introduce into your lifestyle and eventualy, without you even noticing, they will become an automatic part of your daily routine

• Mistakes will happen. Do not berate yourself for making a mistake. Acknowledge and accept the mistake. Think about it for a few minutes and determine what caused you to err and how you can prevent it in the future. Then, move on.

The following 3 tips are simple and easy to achieve. These tips will give you a serious boost as you begin your weight loss journey. Apply these tips to your weight loss program for the next 2 weeks and you will be amaazed with the results.

• Drink water and only water. Make sure you drink at least 8 glasses of water per day. Water is the "magic" potion to ensure weight loss. The only exception here is coffee. If you are a serious coffee drinker, a sudden withdrawal of caffeine is not recommended. If drinking coffe, please do not use sugar or whiteners in your coffee.
• Remove sugars from your diet. Do not eat any foods including salad dressings and fat-free products that have simple sugars, corn syrups (or other syrups), molasses listed as one of the first five ingredients. (please read the labels!)
• Start walking. Walk about 30 minutes per day. Do not use you car for short trips. Walk.
