By Annette Mayes

If you are reading this, it's a good bet that you want to lose weight. You've probably gotten bad information in the past and from the wrong sources. Reading the list of the top 10 weight loss tips and tricks below will help you get the most from your weight loss efforts. Read on!

When people are given the wrong information, they start to feel they will never lose weight and get discouraged. Or, they may feel that they are pursuing an avenue that is never going to work. The tips below will provide you with an invaluable base to work from and solve problems such as these. So let's get started.

1. Try eating say 5 small meals per day as opposed to 3 larger meals per day. These meals should be smaller than the meals you normally eat. By following this, your body will absorb the energy that comes from food much easier. And, you are less likely to store it as fat.

2. To avoid the risk of being caught out with no choice but to eat some really bad and unhealthy meals packed with calories, try to plan your meals ahead as much as possible.

3. To help you stay hydrated, drink water as often as possible. This also will help you feel that you are not overly hungry and end up overeating.

4. Exercise as often as possible and as much as you can. It doesn't have to be a strenuous 10 mile run. It can be something simple like climbing stairs instead of using the lift. If you can, set aside 40 minutes per day for some sort of exercise.

5. Set realistic goals and stick to them. They should be challenging enough that they keep you motivated.

6. Consume different types of healthy foods. This will prevent you from getting bored eating the same old greens everyday. These days, there are many options available so take advantage of them.

7. Start toning up your body muscles by combining weight training with cardiovascular exercise. You will look great and have a faster metabolism.

8. Crash diets don't work so don't do it. Any weight you lose will probably come back at some point.

9. Cut back on consuming too much fat but eat as many fruit and vegetables as you want. Remove the skin from meat if possible.

10. When you eat large evening meals or late night snacks, your body doesn't have a chance to work off the energy it gets from this food. Therefore, you should avoid these meals.

Following these 10 tips sounds easy enough doesn't it? They will undoubtedly serve you well when you decide to put them into use. Weight loss doesn't need to be complicated. It can be as simple as following these tips.
