Dr. Oz's 100 Weight Loss Tips2

1. Take a brisk walk before lunch or dinner. Not only will you get in some exercise,you're less likely to choose something unhealthy after a little movement.
2. Looking for the benefits of salmon but you don't feel comfortable cooking fish? Try canned salmon as a simple and affordable alternative.
3. Are your dishes too big? A healthy dinner should fit on a 9-inch plate. You may find that kid-sized plates are more appropriately sized to feed an adult!
4. Never eat any snack food out of the box, carton or bag it came in. You're less likely to overeat if you separate snacks into appropriate fist-sized servings.
5. Boost your metabolism with some green tea or chili peppers.
6. Get your Zzzzzs. Sleep deprivation alters levels of hormones in the body that regulate hunger, causing an increase in appetite.
7. Muscle burns at least four times as many calories as fat does, so try twenty minutes of strength straining two to three times a week.
8. Decaf coffee is a great low-calorie fluid when you're having cravings (and a great source of antioxidants).
9. Eating liquid-based foods such as natural smoothies and low-sodium soup can help you cut back on calories yet feel full.
10. A pedometer can help keep track of your steps. If you're not getting 10,000 steps a day, you're not moving enough.
11. Natural applesauce is an excellent dip for fruits such as bananas and melons.
12. Take every opportunity to move around, even in small ways. Studies show fidgety people tend to be skinnier.
13. Identify the emotional triggers that lead you to seek unhealthy comfort food. Picture your goal weight the next time a trigger strikes to help you resist temptation.
14. Use a vegetable bean dip such as hummus instead of ranch dressing or a fatty cream-based dip.
15. People who regularly weigh themselves and keep track of their progress in a journal are more likely to lose weight.
