Nothing quells the appetite like water, lots and lots of water. Start out with two quart bottles in the morning and carry one with you to work or wherever you go. If you like, divvy up the 64 ounces of water into eight (8-ounce) bottles or four pint (16-ounce) bottles to carry around with you all day. Freeze half of them the night before and they will last all day, even in a hot car. Keep some unfrozen so they will be ready to drink immediately.

This is the most important weight loss tip of all.Hunger is Public Enemy No 1 for anyone who wants to lose weight.Kill it, stab it, stamp on it - do anything but don't let it get the upper hand. NEVER let yourself go hungry. If you do, you'll reach for something that makes you fat.

Most slimmers are in far too much of a hurry.They want to solve their entire weight problem in a couple of weeks.Preferably sooner! So if they have a bad day, or a bad week, they get hysterical.They think - 'That's it! It's all over! I've failed!' and give up dieting in disgust. Result? They stay fat. A better approach.Say to yourself - 'There's no rush.' And take your time.

One problem with diets is when you go off the diet, you tend to return to your old eating habits. If you weigh 180 pounds and maintain that weight on 2700 calories/day, then you go down to 160 pounds by dieting, you can only eat 2400 calories/day to maintain your new weight.

Exercise before eating, even a 10 minute walk, can decrease your appetite.

After you eat dinner, brush your teeth. You are not as likely to eat late at night with the feeling of freshly brushed teeth.

Exercise helps maintain muscle mass when you lose weight, so don´t think you have to lose weight by dieting before you start working out.
