Don’t go on a diet. Are you dreaming of a successful and long-lasting way of losing weight? First of all, change your thought process and forget diets, we look at Healthy Nutrition and sustainable meal plans.

Hide the scale.  What’s your weight? Unfortunately, this number - which everyone usually cares about so much - is completely pointless. We’ve already discussed this in an article about abdominal obesity.

Forget about losing fat from your belly.  You only want to lose belly or buttock fat? The truth is that there is no such way that would allow you to target one specific area of your body and lose fat from of it. Sadly, you can’t select where fat accumulates in your body, so you can’t choose how to lose it.

Consider the quality of calories instead of their quantity.  You consume very few calories daily, but lose no weight? The quality of calories is a very important indicator if you want to slim down but cannot forget about the quality of calories. If you only take into account the number of calories consumed, you’ll forget that your body needs important nutrients.

There is a correct ratio of nutrient amounts.  How many fats, carbohydrates, and protein do you actually need daily? The answers is MACRO's Consume a sufficient amount of calories per nutrient based on your MACRO nutrient requirements.  How often do you hear ‘exercise more, eat less’? No matter how odd this sounds, putting in too much effort sometimes leads to eating too little to lose weight.

Make small slimming changes.  You’re changing your diet but you don’t see any results a few days later and become disappointed? It’s hard to believe, but that’s one of the most serious problems for people trying to slim down. Because of this reason, it’s not recommended to change your entire lifestyle immediately (i.e. working out intensively and radically changing your diet).

Engage in strength training.  If you want to lose weight, you usually start to walk more or jog. It certainly isn’t bad, but we recommend not forgetting strength training.

Don’t forget that you won’t lose the same amount of weight every day.  Have you ever thought about the way you gained weight? It’s likely that your weight did not increase by the same amount every day. It’s the same with weight loss. It’s naïve to believe that you’ll get rid of the same amount of weight every day.

Do not give up.  How many times have you started a slimming program and dropped it after a few days or weeks? Fatigue and lack of results are the two biggest killers of motivation.
