What Cellulite Causes

There is a number of problems caused by cellulite. The outward appearance can be embarrassing, the pictures of cellulite will scare you to death and the stress of trying to get rid of it is enough to my someone go insane.

Now if you've try to Combat cellulite in the past (or currently) you know that cellulite causes emotional and physical stress. All the workout in the world can never seem to rid the true cause all the dimples especially the areas around the legs, hips and buttocks.

Some treatments are even down right expensive. The massages, the creams and exercises are enough to make a grown man cry. And with everyone promising results it's hard to determine who knows best. The best ways to get rid of any disease or ailment is to... GET TO THE CAUSE.

Not only will cellulite create ugly appearance on the outside. It also gives us a glimpse of what is happening on the inside. Fat loves to store around the mid section and it has been medically proven that the more belly fat we have, the increase risk of heart disease, cancers and diabetes.

Cellulite is a sign of dysfunction in the body. Cellulite causes health concerns for everyone, which means, even the thin women that work-out religiously still have to suffer from the loose skin and cottage cheese... YUCK!

All the exercises and anti-aging cream with penetrate deep enough to reach the problem. The problems are more internal. They are just being expressed externally. Generally speaking, anything you see on the outside is a direct reflection on what is going on on the inside. You need to fix the cellulite cause from the inside out.

So what cause cellulite??

Many believe it's poor genetics or lifestyle habits or bad luck. I'm here to tell you that it's none of these things. Cellulite causes are toxins and adipose tissue, aka: fat. Toxin love to sit in fat tissue. In all actuality, the body is smart for doing it. It the body didn't store toxins in your fat cells they would wreck havoc on your organs and neural tissue. And this is where the missing link is to getting rid of cellulite.

It's like a puzzle, you have to use all the pieces. You can't just do creams or just do exercise or just do liposuction. You have to incorporate everything to get rid of what causes Cellulite in the first place. This means reducing fat by proper foods and exercise. But it also means detoxifying the fat cells so you can actually burn them up. Fat cell will not burn if they are full of toxins.

Get rid of the toxins in the fat cells then burn them up. Then make sure you eat clean so they don't come back and if you want to keep the surface smooth, throw in some lotion. It's really the simple. It not a diet or fad workout or even liposuction. We know that does not word. The key is to work on you from the inside out. Quit doing pieces and put the puzzle together.

Lose Weight in Thighs - How to Lose Inches in This Trouble Zone

Would you like to learn how to lose weight in your thighs? Then this article was written with you in mind. Losing inches from this common trouble zone will require your effort but there are eating and exercise tricks that you can use to get the fat off faster and if you would like to learn how to get these tricks working for you then I encourage you to take a couple of minutes to read on.

Lose weight in thighs

1. Eat to avoid insulin spikes. Insulin is a hormone in your body that is released when you eat carbohydrates. When insulin is present your body finds it easy to deposit fat and if your thighs are a trouble zone then your body likely stores fat in that area. You do not have to give up carbohydrates but make sure you are eating whole grain carbs that break down slower and create less of an insulin spike.

2. Include protein in your meals. Protein causes the release of glucagon, a hormone that can counter some of the fat storing properties of insulin. By eating protein at every meal you can help regulate your fat making.

3. Aerobic workout with intensity burst. Add a twist to your aerobic workout and explode your fat burning. Whether you exercise on a treadmill, bicycle, outdoors or any type of exercise equipment maximize the exercise by adding one-minute burst of high pace/intensity throughout the workout. These little burst stimulate your metabolism and your body continues to burn fat for hours after your workout is over.

4. Lunges and other strength exercises. You will help your body burn fat faster off you legs and body and help reduce the appearance of cellulite by performing strength exercises against resistance (i.e. lifting weights, using exercise bands or using your body weight). The more muscle you have the more calories and fat your body burns during the day even when you are resting and this means that you lose weight in your thighs faster.

Dieting For Weight Loss That Lets You Live Life!

If you have been dieting for weight loss for any period of time then you can understand how quickly a diet can end up taking over your life. The wrong diet can interfere with your ability to go out with friends, disrupt your work schedule and leave you feeling so tired and wiped out that it hardly seems worthwhile. There is a better way and it involves learning how to eat real foods in such a way as to boost your metabolism and burn fat.

Dieting for Weight Loss Tips

1. Do not get sold on "healthy" carbs. Food companies want you to buy their products so they will often slap the "healthy" label on their food to give you a false sense of peace that this food will be good for you while dieting to lose weight. The problem is these healthy carbs are often quick digesting foods that turn to sugar within minutes of hitting your digestive track. What this means is that your body pours insulin in and pushes the carb (now sugar) into your fat cells for storage.

My suggestion: Stick with whole carbs such as fruits, vegetables, sweet potatoes and for your bread cravings go with breads made from sprouted grains, rice or spelt, which will break down slowly in your body and actually help you body burn fat.

2. Mix the right carbs mentioned above with the right fats. When did we decide to go so crazy on fats? We have replaced natural foods like real butter, whole eggs and raw nuts with chemically manufactured hydrogenated oils, margarine and substitute butters. Your body will handle natural fats well but these chemically altered fats cause your liver to work overtime and that takes up resources your liver could be using to breakdown body fat.

3. Drop the calculator for counting calories and instead eat the right portions. One way we let dieting for weight loss take over our lives is by counting every calorie that goes in our mouths. I am not saying you should throw all caution to the wind and eat everything; you must keep track, at least until you learn what your body works well on. However, counting every single calorie is maddening and will cause you to quit.

The solution to dropping the calorie calculator and getting back to life is allowing yourself to eat enough of the right foods such as those mentioned above. When you do your body tells you what is the right amount because your body prefers to be balanced. This is not as difficult as it may sound, in fact, when you eat the right foods in the right portions, you will find eating the right amount to lose weight fast comes naturally.

Are you tired of confusing and contradicting information and restrictive diets that leave you feeling hungry and low on energy? Me too! I like to eat and I don't have time to count every calorie or the desire to eat boring diet foods. For me the best solution to dieting for weight loss is the Diet Solution Program.If you are like me and tired of the gimmicks, then I encourage you to watch this free video ==> Wt Loss Diets.

Inside you will discover the exact foods to eat and not to eat to burn off 10% of your unwanted weight in body fat in the next 30 days, and then continue to burn it off every month until you have the body you've always wanted!

How to Lose Weight Even If You Have a Crazy Work Schedule

In today's world there are more people working crazy work schedules and this can seem like a huge challenge when trying to figure out how to lose weight. The important thing to understand is that you can make your weight loss plan work and with a few tricks and strategies in place you can reach your goal and get the body you want.

How to Lose Weight

1. Don't fight your situation. If the reality is that you have a crazy work schedule then make peace with this fact so you can find ways to lose the weight.

2. Think protein. Protein is a friend to a person who does not have a regular schedule of eating because it helps regulate hunger and keeps your blood sugar level so you are not falling victim to food cravings.

3. Pack handy and healthy snacks. A great snack that can go anywhere is a small bag full of almonds or other assorted nuts. These will keep in any weather conditions and give you a boost of hunger satisfying protein and healthy fat.

4. Control thirst. If you don't have time to eat be sure you are still finding time to drink water. Thirst can often times trigger your hunger.

5. Note if you are experiencing fatigue or hunger. Another way hunger is falsely present is when it is confused with fatigue. Try to get as much quality sleep as possible and when you are tired and hungry ask yourself what you need. Do you need a snack or a nap?

How to Make a Diet Work When Your Work Schedule is Always Different

If you find yourself in the challenging position of having a variable work schedule yet you want to lose weight and make a diet work for you despite this fact then this article was written with you in mind. I have many clients in this situation from people who work the night shift to those who travel constantly or who go from meeting to meeting all day long, regardless of your work schedule you can make a diet work and lose the weight.

How to make a diet work

1. Keep your diet plan simple. The less there is to remember about your healthy eating plan the more likely you will be able to make it work. I like to teach clients the divided plate rule which means that you fill your plate half full with vegetables, one quarter full with protein and the last quarter with carbohydrate. This ensures you are eating the right foods in the right portions without the bother of counting calories or having to search for specialty foods.

2. Keep snacks in the form of protein. Don't grab the packaged snack from the vending machine. These snacks are filled with refined carbohydrates which leave you with a surge of insulin that leads to a crash of your blood sugar and a flood of cravings. Instead have a protein snack (i.e. cheese, nuts) this will steady your blood sugar controlling your hunger for well into the next few hours.

3. Be flexible. You will want your attitude to match your schedule so learn to handle frustration when you cannot get exactly what you wanted to eat and be flexible enough to accept "plan B". With a positive attitude you will find an acceptable alternative and stick with your weight loss program.

4. Have a support team in place. This is great advice for anyone working toward a goal to lose weight. There will always be obstacles in your path but when you have a mentor to guide you or a group of people to support you and encourage you finding a way to make a diet work becomes much easier.

Weight Management Tips - Doing Things Right But Not Losing?

Since you are researching weight management tips, you have likely had some challenges in getting the scale to move down. It is absolutely maddening when you do all the right things and step on the scale only to see no change or (gulp) and increase in weight. If you are tired of confusing and contradicting dieting information and want to find a fat loss strategy that keeps you motivated by keeping the scale moving down, then these weight management tips are meant for you.

Weight Management Tips That Work Without Starvation, Crash Dieting, Silly Weight Loss Pills Or Even Counting Calories

1. Are you a calorie counter? Counting calories can be a slippery slope because if you think about it, when you count every calorie that goes in your mouth you are highly focused on food. Is being focused on food a good thing when you are trying to eat less of it? I like to do things a little differently.

I do think it is best to keep track of what you eat, at least until you feel comfortable with your eating changes. However, instead of counting calories, what if you filled your stomach with foods that keep you satisfied and therefore keep hunger away. Would this help you eat less over the course of the day?

Now, some of you are thinking that you have heard this advice of eating the right foods before, but you may be shocked to find out some of the so-called healthy or diet foods that are actually making you body store fat, read on to tip #2...

2. Some foods that are thought to be healthy or diet foods can actually promote fat storage. Did you know that whole wheat bread, juice, low-fat salad dressing and many cereals break down in your body very fast, which means that they convert into fat easily? This is a common mistake dieters make when they think they are doing things right.

3. Instead you need to eat foods that take a long time to digest such as sweet potatoes, vegetables, whole fruits, quinoa and breads made of sprouted grains or rice. Your body will break these foods down slowly and give you sustained energy with very little left over that must be stored as fat.

When you learn exactly which foods work with your metabolism to encourage faster fat burning and which foods surprisingly cause your body to store more fat, your weight loss takes off. You can expect to drop pounds fast when you follow these weight management tips and because you are eating real foods that your body thrives on, your weight loss keeps going week after week without hunger!

Are you tired of confusing and contradicting information and restrictive diets that leave you feeling hungry and low on energy? Me too! For me,the best Weight Management Tips allow me to eat real foods and don't waste my time with counting every calorie or eating boring diet foods.

Weight Management Diet - Losing Without Counting Calories

Even the most sensible weight management diet has obstacles to overcome and one that I hear most often is the question about calorie counting. A friend of mine the other day said that there was just no way to lose weight if she didn't count every calorie that she puts in her mouth. I disagree, you see it is important to be sensible but when you count every calorie you obsess over food - is this what you want? If not, there is a better way to approach calories that will help you lose weight faster than you ever imagined.

How to Handle Calories On A Weight Management Diet

Relatively new food labeling practices have made it easier than ever for the dieter to monitor their calorie intake. This is a good thing and I agree that you should track your food and drink intake for a while when you begin losing weight. The problem is that every human body is different, and every human body has a different metabolic type. This means you can not trust these charts that say if you are a 5 foot, 4 inch woman you should eat 1,400 calories per day. It is just not that cut and dry.

If your weight management diet has you counting calories you have probably realized that there are some limitations. What I had recommended to me in a great weight management program was to track my food intake but fill my body with real foods that were satisfying and eat big enough portions to sustain my energy.

Sounds kind of radical doesn't it? I mean here is a diet that is telling me to eat non-diet foods and plenty of them to lose weight. Hmmmm.

Well, it turned out to be just the twist I needed to get off the weight loss roller coaster. It all comes down to finding the exact foods that will not break down too fast in your body (these foods quickly get stored as fat and leave you feeling hungry).

What foods am I talking about?

How about a weight management diet that has you eating real butter, whole eggs, olive oil, and raw nuts. Have you ever eaten these foods and noticed how your hunger stays away for hours! Could that help you control your calorie intake without having to count?

Now I know what you are thinking, "but I am different, I will just keep eating and eating". This is what I thought too and this is why it is sensible to track your food intake for a little while until you start to really "get" how satisfied you feel on these foods. After that you intuitively eat satisfying foods, avoid the afternoon low-energy crash and lose weight fast and consistently.

How fast can you lose when you follow a sensible weight management diet like this? You can expect to drop 3 to 10 pounds the first week and then after that keep dropping each week while you feel energized and motivated and before you know it you forget completely about carrying your calorie counting notebook around.

Are you tired of confusing and contradicting information and restrictive diets that leave you feeling hungry and low on energy? Me too! For me, the  best Weight Management Diet allows me to eat real foods and doesn't waste my time with counting every calorie or eating boring diet foods.

How 2 Lose Weight Fast - Drop 3 To 10 Pounds In 1 Week Sanely

Since you want to know how 2 lose weight fast you don't want to hear some gimmick or trick that will just leave your body dehydrated and as soon as you start eating real foods again - Bam - the weight is right back on again. The truth is you can lose 3 to 10 pounds of fat from your body in the first week of following a sensible weight loss program. Where most people go wrong is they fall for the diet foods and so called "healthy" foods that in reality turn to fat when eaten.

How 2 Lose Weight Fast

1. Eat carbohydrates. You would think that carbs are some kind of evil food by the way some ridiculous weight loss plans handle them. The reality is that your body creates energy from carbs and your brain functions on them (ever go on a low-carb diet and feel completely drained and brain-dead?).

Having said that, there are many carbs that will break down way too fast in your body and get stored as fat and the surprising thing is that many of these "bad" carbs are labelled as diet foods or healthy foods. Did you know that many whole wheat breads and cereals as well as low-fat muffins and salad dressings actually turn into sugar in your body and easily turn to fat?

You have to eat carbs but you also have to know which ones will break down slowly in your digestive system and therefore sustain energy and help you lose weight, foods such as breads made from sprouted grains, rice or spelt; sweet potatoes, fruits, vegetables.

2. Eat Fats. Fats have also taken a bad rap when it comes to losing weight. The truth is that it is impossible for your body to burn fat if you are not eating fat. But here again, there are wrong fats that cause you to store fat (hydrogenated oils, vegetable oils, margarine, substitute butters) and there are right fats that boost your metabolic processes and help you burn fat (real butter, whole eggs, olive oil, raw nuts).

3. Avoid processed foods. These foods contain loads of sugar and harmful chemicals that make your liver work overtime leaving no time for your liver to break down body fat. But be careful, these processed foods are often labeled as healthy. There are even diet bars, "healthy" cereals and yogurts that contain fat building sugar and chemicals.

As you can see when you are set on learning exactly how 2 lose weight fast, it makes more sense to eat real whole foods and throw away the so-called diet foods that serve to do nothing but line the pockets of the food manufacturers. What can you expect when you make this switch? Your body can quickly drop 3 to 10 pounds within the first week and then continue to drop pounds each month until your ideal weight is reached.

Are you tired of confusing and contradicting information and restrictive diets that leave you feeling hungry and low on energy? Me too! I like to eat and I don't have time to count every calorie or the desire to eat boring diet foods. For me the solutionof how 2 lose weight fast is the Diet Solution Program.

If you are like me and tired of the gimmicks, then I encourage you to watch this free video ==> Wt Loss Diets.

Inside you will discover the exact foods to eat and not to eat to burn off 10% of your unwanted weight in body fat in the next 30 days, and then continue to burn it off every month until you have the body you've always wanted!

One Easy Holiday Trick To Avoid Holiday Weight Gain

Holiday weight gain does not have to be a given. You can avoid holiday weight gain by actually eating more food when you grasp the easy trick of eating more fiber.

High fiber foods do not digest fully in your system and because of this they bind to fats and other foods to help keep blood sugar and cholesterol under control.

High fiber foods also act as a scrub brush for your digestive tract getting rid of excess food and waste that would otherwise sit in your digestive tract. Also, because many high fiber foods are very low in calories you can actually burn more calories to eat them (negative calorie foods).

Yep, for avoiding the normal holiday weight gain, you want to fully appreciate the wonders of fiber.

There are two basic types of fiber, soluble and insoluble. You do not have to worry too much about the different types but they do have different responsibilities in your body ranging from helping food pass out of your system to helping regulate your blood sugar.

Let's take a closer look at fiber in general. Here is how it help you avoid weight gain.

Fiber is only found in plant foods. Animal products such as meat, milk, and cheese have zero grams of fiber. So you will want to think plant-based foods for fiber. Namely, you are looking at vegetables and fruits (go for fresh or frozen, not canned), beans, nuts, and many whole grains.

Of these foods, if you are trying to lose weight, you should concentrate on veggies, fruits, and beans. These foods are low calorie and nutrient packed, great for losing weight and staying satisfied.

I mentioned fiber comes from plants and I want you to think about the "fibers" you see in a vegetable like the stalk of broccoli. This is a good visual way to think about fiber.

Now think about that passing through your digestive system. The fiber does not get digested like other foods and passes through your digestive tract virtual unchanged. This is like sending a gentle scrub brush through your system and on its way through it picks up wastes and pushes them along and gets them out of your system.

People who eat low fiber diets suffer with constipation and have foods and wastes sitting in their colons for days or longer, this adds weight to your body.

Fiber also binds to things such as sugars and fats (i.e. cholesterol) in your diet. By binding to these elements they cannot affect your blood.

Therefore a high fiber diet controls blood sugar levels and helps you avoid spikes.

Why is this important for avoiding holiday weight gain?

Because blood sugar spikes trigger an influx of insulin and insulin's job is to push sugar into fat storage. Think about that, eat more by eating more high fiber foods and you get less fat storage.

As for fats such as cholesterol, there is a somewhat more complex mechanism related to bile salts that helps keep your cholesterol levels low.

To make it short and sweet, bile is produced by your body and consists of mostly cholesterol. When you eat fats bile is secreted to helps break down the fats. Fiber grabs hold of the bile and removes it from your body with your waste. Because this bile leaves your body, it cannot go back to your liver where it is recycled, so your body needs to take cholesterol from your body to make new bile leaving less cholesterol to flow through your blood and create plaque.

So here is the bottom line:

When you go through the holiday season eat foods high in fiber, especially if you will be indulging in sweet treats such as cookies, pies, and chocolates. The fiber will help your body manage the excess sugars and fats and you will have a much easier time avoiding holiday weight gain.

Weight Management Plan - Exact Foods To Eat And Not To Eat

When it comes to a weight management plan what to eat and what not to eat is at the top of everyone's list of questions. I hope to simplify this issue for you by giving you the exact foods that will help your body burn fat faster and those that will make your body store fat. And if you think you already know which foods are which, you will be surprised at the "healthy" and "diet" foods that made the do not eat list.

Food Choices On A Good Weight Management Plan

Let's start our food list with the nutrient that most everyone identifies with weight loss these days and that is carbohydrates. First let me say that carbs are not evil, your body actually prefers them as its primary energy source (your brain too!). However, many carbohydrates breakdown into their elemental form - sugar - very quickly and when this happens your body clears out the excess sugar and throws it into fat storage.

Carbs to avoid:

• Sugar and baked goods (that was a no-brainer but I had to add it!)
• Whole wheat bread
• Orange juice
• Low-fat muffins
• Low-fat salad dressings
• Many "healthy" cereals

Are you surprised by this list? Many healthy carbs are actually refined and therefore convert to sugar in your body very fast keeping your fat!

Carbs to eat:

• Sprouted Grain Bread
• Breads made of rice or spelt
• Fruits
• Vegetables
• Sweet potatoes
• Millet
• Quinoa

Next, let's take a look at fats. The bottom line is that it is impossible for your body to burn fat if you are not eating fat. Even some saturated fats that are natural will be handled by your body better than man-made unnatural fats. Here is your list...

Fats to avoid:

• Hydrogenated oils
• Canola oil
• Vegetable oil
• Margarine (this is not real food and your body stores it as bad fat)
• Substitute butters

Fats to eat:

• Real butter
• Whole eggs
• Coconut oil
• Olive oil
• Avocado
• Raw Nuts

Pretty surprising isn't it? And we haven't even touched on the processed foods that are often labeled as "diet" that in actuality contain a ton of sugar and harmful chemicals that your liver has to breakdown at the expense of breaking down body fat.

The weight management plan that holds the solution for fast weight loss that can be sustained is one that teaches you exactly what to eat and what not to eat. And when you make these subtle shifts you can expect to drop pounds quickly (often up to 10 pounds the first week) and then keep losing until you have reached your ideal body weight.

Are you tired of confusing and contradicting information and restrictive diets that leave you feeling hungry and low on energy? Me too! For me, the best Weight Management Plan allows me to eat real foods and doesn't waste my time with counting every calorie or eating boring diet foods.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia Your Way Thin!

There is a funny little seed that has been capturing news headlines and I bet you have heard of it.

Let me give you a hint: Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia!

Yes, that is right, you can eat Chia Seeds and according to health experts these little black and white seeds will improve your health and help you lose weight faster.

These nutrient-packed seeds are tiny, look similar to poppy seeds and are basically tasteless so you can feel free to sprinkle them on a salad or mix them in your morning oatmeal like I do.

Chia seeds were the treasure of the Aztecs, but became a forgotten crop until 1980, when Joseph Enterprises created Chia Pets and the world started singing "Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia" along with the TV commercial.

Little did we know back in the 80's that 30 years later these seeds would be flying off grocer's shelves as the next great superfood craze.

Health gurus have been touting the health benefits of chia seeds for years, but it has not been until recently that these tiny seeds have been readily available.

Chia seed are praised for their high content of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and protein.

But what we really love about these little seeds is the boost they give those of us watching our weight. Chia seeds swell to about 12 times their normal size when they enter your stomach. Therefore, a small amount leaves you feeling full and keeps you feeling full for a long time.

Besides their ability to speed your weight loss, chia seeds are said to have:

• Twice the protein of other seed
• 5 times the amount of calcium found in milk
• A trace mineral called Boron that helps calcium move into your bones
• Twice the potassium of bananas
• 3 times the antioxidant power of blueberries
• 3 times more iron than Popeye's favorite - spinach
• Huge amounts of omega 3 fatty acids

There is even an added bonus for those who suffer from gluten allergies because these little seeds are gluten-free.

You can find chia seeds in health food stores and they are slowly finding their way into regular grocery stores. I encourage you to give them a try. This is a simple way to keep your belly full longer and may just give you an edge in weight loss.

Here are some quick and easy ways to add chia seeds to your daily diet. Aim for about 2 teaspoons to one Tablespoon a day:

1. Stir them into your morning oatmeal or cereal.

2. Mix them into your smoothie.

3. Sprinkle the tiny seeds on your salad or mix into your salad dressing.

4. Eat them raw or mixed in applesauce.

5. Drink juice with a teaspoon of chia seeds mixed in.

6. Bake them into breads, muffins or pancakes.

Chia seeds may have come on like a fad, but you do not have to worry about them being dangerous. These seeds are nature's diet pills and have no harmful chemicals or additives that could do harm. Feel free to sprinkle away!

I eat chia seeds as part of my healthy diet and they help me control my weight. But, you do have to look at them as part of your overall healthy weight loss plan. Simply adding these seeds to your cereal will not miraculously drop the number on the scale.

In myfree report I shares how to incorporate the right foods into your diet so you can lose 5 pounds this week without ever feeling hungry. Click on the link to get started the right way.

5 Fast Tips To Lose Weight Before Summer

Summer is right around the corner and that means we will all be breaking out the shorts, t-shirts, and bathing suits in a couple of short months. That also means that many people are looking to lose those last 10 to 20 pounds before summer breaks into full swing.

There isn't much time but the good thing is that the warm weather is very motivating and naturally leads to better eating and more exercise.

Here are 5 fast tips you can follow to shed pounds before summer time hits:

1. Eat a salad every day. Let's keep it simple and sane. The best way for you to lose weight and the easiest way is to fill your body up with vegetables. Having a salad as one main meal a day or two side salads a day is a quick and convenient way to fill your stomach with volume. The pounds come off without a thought.

2. Don't count calories, Count Fiber. Calories can be deceiving if you are only counting calories, but eating calorie-dense junk foods then you will be starving your body of nutrients and leaving yourself feeling exhausted and ready to quit. Instead of counting calories, count fiber grams. Aim for at least 35 grams a day and you will never feel hungry or get too many calories. Fiber-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, beans, and flax seeds are naturally low in calories.

3. Cut the empty calories. Empty calories from processed foods such as pastries, candy bars, and chips pack on the pounds without effort. These foods contain the terrible combination of fats, sugars and salt. This combination has been found to be highly addictive. There is truth to the saying "you can't eat just one potato chip."

4. Move more. You cannot out exercise a poor diet. However, exercise is a great way to accelerate your healthy weight loss. Aim to increase either your intensity (how hard you exercise) or duration (how long you exercise). Even an extra 10 minutes a day will get you to your goal faster.

5. See the prize at the end. Changing your diet and exercise habits comes with some effort and if you do not have a clear goal in mind you will likely lose interest and decide that you are fine where you are at. A goal must be something that truly inspires you and it helps to be specific. Do you have someone you vacation with every year that you want to look good for? Do you have a favorite pair of shorts that you want to fit into? You will know your goal is right when you feel inspired each time you think about it.

There you have 5 quick tips for losing weight before the heat of summer hits. One thing for sure you and I are not getting any younger and summer only comes around once a year. Make this the year you look great and feel even better.

By eating a salad every day, counting fiber grams, cutting out the empty calories, moving more and setting your eyes on the prize you can lose 10 to 20 pounds before summer, drop a bathing suit size and increase your energy.
