are all of them true ?
Can you think of any more tips ?
Thanks 
Yea, they are true and here are few more tips;
WHEN to eat for losing weight…
• Eat (at least) three times a day.
Because when you eat only once a day, your metabolism gets slower than it already is! That’s the main reason. Sounds funny, but to lose weight… you must eat (the right things, of course)
• Eat low-fat, high-fiber foods such as salads and vegetable pastas.
• Your last meal should be before 18:00. Try.
OK, one apple after 18:00
• Don’t starve
Starvation is not good for losing weight, nor your health.
Starvation is the worse thing you can do in a weight loss diet.
• Try oatmeal instead of cornflakes for breakfast–eating oatmeal can help reduce cholesterol levels, and its high fiber content will keep you full longer.
WHAT to drink for losing weight…
• Drink 6-8 glasses of water every day !
Can be tap, plain, mineral, sparkling. I just love mineral sparkling water!
This improves your bowel, reduces the "hunger" sensation, and hydrates your skin. Your skin will look much better after the first weeks!
Don’t believe the slogan "water makes me fat". Besides being stupid… you might get into serious troubles with your kidneys.
• Drink ONLY natural juices, freshly squeezed!
Don’t drink Coca Cola, Pepsi, and Sprite etc. during the diet. Even lite or light versions.
• Avoid those vending machines by carrying around your own healthful foods and leaving pocket change at home.
Exercise for losing weight…
• If you want quicker results – exercise would be good.
• Don’t just sit in front of the TV and eat peanuts…
I guarantee THIS won’t work for your weight loss…
• Start a regular exercise program and stick with it. Don’t be afraid of those sweat suits and Lycra pants!
• Start swimming. Swimming is an excellent exercise to get involved with, since it increases blood flow and uses muscles we don’t regularly use. Start a swimming program and try to do it 3 times a week. You will feel excellent and rejuvenated.
• Choose an exercise program that you enjoy, and don’t shun the unconventional. For instance, did you know that regular vigorous dancing is exercise too?
• Also Cardiovascular exercises such as running, jogging, or aerobics will help you lose that unwanted belly fat. Weight training can also help you lose body fat because the more muscle mass you have, the more ability your system has to burn body fat.
Good luck!

Yes, these all sound pretty accurate. I don’t think water really helps you lose weight though, unless you’re drinking it to replace soda or something. Walking is a great aerobic exercise, and easy to do.

Resistance training or weight training. Doesn’t need to be with heavy heavy weights, but enough to make you work hard. It’s key for keeping a tones body.

yes, all true. its kinda interesting how these small simple things are actually the most effective. but instead of situps, crunches are better. they work more of your abs, while situps work your back more instead of your abs. and jogging/running is the only way to lose belly fat. people think doing 100s of situps and crunches will get them a nice stomach, but sit ups and crunches will only build your ab muscles, but they will be hidden under all the belly fat if you dont run it off.

wow you did your homework! These are all accurate, and yes drinking sufficient water can help you lose weight.
This is because it keeps your stomach full and you do not feel that empty stomach feeling a lot. Actually sometimes when you think you are hungry you are actually thirsty. Drinking Ice water helps too because your body needs to heat it up to body temp before it can pass it through.
As far as tips go…try adding some short sprints (to start, progressively getting a little longer each day) and other various activities into your cardio routine. Elliptical machines are great, and biking can be a lot of fun!

Yes, eat fewer calories than you burn and you’ll lose weight. Simple!
I have a foolproof diet plan which, if you stick to it, is GUARANTEED to work. I have lost 16st, in 18 months, using this method.
First of all, you need to know your resting metabolic rate (RMR). A calculator can be found here <http://www.caloriesperhour.com/index_burn.php>. It may not be 100% accurate but, since you do not have access to a Bod Pod (the thing a dietician may have access to, to calculate you RMR 100% accurately) it’s the only way you can.
You will also need some accurate kitchen scales (I bought the J-4000 set from here <www.scalesonline.co.uk>)
You will also need a notebook and pen (so you can write down EVERYTHING you consume).
Here’s how it works. Decide on how much you want to lose per week (for sustainable weight loss, no more than 2lb is recommended). Know that 1lb of fat is 3,500kcals. So, in order to lose 1lb you will need to burn off 500kcals a day more than you consume. Remember that you will need to recalculate your RMR every time you lose weight as it decreases the lighter you become (roughly 7kcals/lb).
You then need to swap your regular foods for low-calorie equivalents. Here’s what I try to stick to a day (though I had a big slice of cake yesterday – OOPS!)
Breakfast: – 50g porridge made with just water (180kcals)
Lunch: ham or chicken salad sandwich made with WW ham or chicken (17kcals/slice) and WW bread (44kcals/slice – though this is why you need the scales; if you weigh the slices, you may find they are more or less than the 20g the bag states they should be. Yesterday the slices I used for my lunchtime sarnie only weighed 16g each, so I got away with the bread only being 68kcals!). I have also ditched the butter in favour of VERY low fat (70% less fat than standard) cream cheese (the WW onion and chive, for example, is only 28.5kcals per 30g, and I never have more than 10g on a sarnie). Yesterday my sandwich was only 105kcals (extra 10kcals for a small tomato and 2g Marmite). I also have a WW yoghurt (around 50kcals). Lunch: – 155kcals
For dinner, I had a Sainsbury’s Be Good To Yourself spinach & ricotta cannelloni (243kcals) and another WW yoghurt. Total:- 283kcals.
Total for the day (if I’d not had friends round and been naughty!) would have been 618kcals.
I’ve done WW, SW, Rosemary Conley, Cambridge, Lighter Life; I’ve taken Xenical, Accomplia, Reductil – they don’t work!
Using my method, you can eat WHATEVER YOU LIKE, provided you stick to your target for the day. If you want to lose 2lb/week then you need to consume 1,000kcals less than your RMR (though, if you’re exercising you MUST eat more!) I am disabled, so unable to exercise, so I MUST stick to my RMR.
I have followed this method for 18 months, and gone from 24st to 7st 12lb. I have shed 28" from my waist, the same from my hips, and my chest has shrunk from a 56LL to a 28B. I was a UK size 32, and I’m now a UK 4-6 (depending on where I buy my clothes. 90% of my wardrobe is now from M&S kiddies’ wear dept! The T-shirt I have on now is age 9-10.) Kids’ stuff is cheaper (zero VAT-rated) too. I bought 4 bras in M&S the other day for just £3 each.
I WISH I had some before photos (I don’t because I always used to hide when my nan was wielding the camera) but I do have one I took yesterday (quality’s not very good because I took it using my laptop’s built in webcam).
Finally, here are some quick comparisons of common foods: –
Butter: 75kcals/10g swap for extra light Philly (or similar) at 11kcals/10g.
Standard yoghurt: 150kcals/pot swap for WW yoghurt at 50kcals/pot
Average slice of Warburton’s thick white: 135kcals. Swap for WW malted brown Danish at around 44kcals/slice.
Whole milk is about 70kcals/100ml, semi-skimmed 50 and skimmed 35. If you REALLY can’t stomach skimmed, then you can buy 1% milk which is 40kcals/100ml.
Standard ham 40kcals/slice. Swap for WW ham at 17kcals/slice.
I’m in temporary accommodation at the moment, which means I have limited facilities (I only have access to a microwave) which means I have ready meals for dinner (DO NOT buy WW ready meals – they are disgusting! Bland, tasteless, and just downright gross!)
The only supermarket I have easy access to here is ASDA, so I buy their Smart Price meals (75-85p each) making sure that nothing I buy is more than 300kcals, but I do go to the Sainsbury’s Local in town for the Spinach & Ricotta Cannelloni.
You can STILL have treats. I am addicted to carrot cake so, when M&S started doing little carrot squares in tubs, I bought a couple of tubs for £4 and have 2 a day. They’re only 35kcals each!
What I’m trying to say is that it IS possible. I’ve done it. I’m still doing it. I’m the laziest cow you’ll EVER come across so, if I can lose 16 stone in 18 months – and, more pertinently, KEEP IT OFF!! – they surely you can…?
Good luck – you CAN do it!!
