49. Take a Day Off from Dieting - This will keep your metabolism constantly on the move. Dieters tend to fall into a plateau when their metabolism figures out the body is on a diet. The occasional higher calorie intake will kick your metabolism into overdrive.

50. Break down your workouts into small increments of time. A 30 minute workout isn’t much compared to a 24 hour day. Within one 30 minute show you could have completed a workout and burned calories. When you think of workouts as small amounts of time compared to the amount of time in a full day…. It doesn’t seem like much time.

51. Add Milk to your Diet - It is said that adding low fat dairy products to our daily diet could aid in weight loss. The protein in milk helps us feel fuller longer. This is due to the fact that proteins take longer to digest. Just make sure the dairy products are the low fat variety. It is the protein your body needs not the higher fat count. So, look for low fat milk and cheeses.

52. Don’t eat past a certain time at night. I would suggest that you stop eating at least 3 hours before bed. Your body burns less calories at night while sleeping than while it is moving around during the day. So, it makes sense to pick a time in the evening to stop eating.

53. Pick up some new cook books with revisions on your favorite recipes. That way you can enjoy your favorite meals revised a bit.

54. Keep your pantry stocked with plenty of pre-packaged snacks. These are perfect for when you are hungry for a quick snack, but don’t have the time to prepare something. Granola bars, individual serving size cereal boxes, and raisin boxes are great. You will have a quick snack to grab and you will always know the nutritional value of what you are eating.

55. Keep snacks everywhere you spend a lot of time - Keep extra snacks in your car, office, and where ever else you spend a lot of time. This way it will decrease your chances of slip-ups.

56. Order Children’s Servings at restaurants. - Okay, this one might sound silly, but it is a great idea for those of you who love fattening items at restaurants. If you love greasy burgers or chicken fingers and fries, but you know the amount of calories and salt in these foods.... get them every once and a while. But when you order them make sure to get the children's size. This way you will not be depriving yourself of things you enjoy, but you will be saving a considerable amount of calories and salt.

57. Brush your teeth early before bed - Do not eat past a certain time at nigh. When that time at night arrives make sure to brush your teeth. Who wants to eat after their teeth have been brushed?

58. Eat Veggies before the rest of the meal - Vegetables have tons of fibers and they aid in filling you up faster. Plus, the fiber keeps you feeling fuller longer. So, start with them and then once you are finished with your veggies move to the rest of the meal. This way when you are satisfied you might have stopped eating before finishing the higher calorie items on your plate.

59. Chew Gum - Sometimes we just need to be doing something with our mouth. Maybe we aren’t even hungry, but just want to something. Chew on a sugar free piece of gum and see if this does the trick and curb your appetite..

60. Make the big meal of the day be breakfast and each meal after let it be smaller. You will have more time during the day to burn off your breakfast. This isn't a new concept. It is something actually that some people have been living by for years. The saying is, "eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper." Having the biggest meal of the day early on gives you plenty of time to burn off the bigger meals.

61. Fill your plate with half fruit / veggies before anything else when you are making your meal - The reasoning for this is that you will have less room for the more fattening or high caloric items. Fill up on the high fiber low caloric things first.

  62. Eat half and bag the rest - This is another restaurant tip. If you are eating out and don’t know the calories of a meal or can’t find something on the healthy side?…. then eat half the meal and bag the rest. Or share the meal with somebody else. Another really cool restaurant tip is to eat an appetizer.

63. If you are at a Party.... Eat!! - Just eat the low calorie food first and move to the next highest caloric food and the next…. That way if you get full you will stop before eating all of the higher calorie items.

64. Switch from whole milk to 1% or skim milk. You will get all the protein of higher calorie milk, but without all the fat. It is a simple switch, but it can make a huge difference in you reaching your weight loss goals.

65. Use condiments without fat. Stay away from Mayonnaise…. Use Mustard instead.

66. If you are attending a buffet choose 3 or 4 things that you will eat from it - Do not eat a “little of everything” you’ll land up eating a ton of calories.

67. Give away the Party Left-overs - Having a party?…. awesome!! Just make sure to give away the left-overs as guests are leaving. You don't want to be left with all that rich party food in your home. That is just bad news waiting to happen.

70. Enjoy some Puzzles - Do you snack late at night? Maybe you just need something to do with your hands? Try puzzles. Keeps your hands and mind busy.... and away from food.

71. Do not eat too little calories. People have a tendency to think that if a weight loss programs says they need to eat 1500 calories to lose weight they think that if they eat less than that they will lose more weight or lose weight at a quicker pace. This so just not true!! Your metabolism is very smart…. It will think you are starving and compensate by slowing your metabolism down and causing you to not lose weight any quicker. It might even completely back fire and stop you from losing weight at all.

72. Exercise Burns Calories - Be aware of how much calories exercise burns. This will be beneficial for you to keep track of so that you know how many calories you burn a day or per week. You should work out at least 3 times a week for at least 30 minutes each day. But, each exercise burns a different amount of calories. Having the right calories burned calculator will help you with this. It is a wonderful tool to aid in your weight loss program. And, there are many weight loss tool that combine all of these tools into one device.

73. Ultimate Weight Loss Tools at your Fingertips - . Let's face it.... diet and fitness is difficult. Knowing how much calories items are, how many calories a person should consume in a day, and how much calories certain exercises burn off is nearly impossible without the right tools. So, make sure you have diet software with all the right weight loss and fitness tools.... preferably diet software that can move with you, such as a Diet Software for PDA or a Diet Software for Smartphone. With either of these weight loss items you will be all set to reach your weight loss goals quickly and safely.
