Losing weight can be very frustrating.It takes a lot of discipline, motivation and hard work. But there is a better way to get closer to your weight loss goal.Just be patient and consistent.So here are the 6 simple changes you can make to your diet today to lose weight:

1)Plan ahead: write down on a list or you can even use a food planner(many websites offer this for free) the foods you would like to eat this week.A healthy menu will be with fish,poultry,beans and legumes accompanied with lots of vegetables and fruits.I usualy sit down have a cup of coffee and do it every sunday evening.It will also help you eliminate all those last minute junk food thoughts.

2)Eat four or five servings of vegetables and fruits a day: by adding extra fruits and vegetables,you will be more likely to lose weight because they are low in calories and high in vitamins and nutrients.

3)Drink more water:replace all sodas, sports drinks and sugary beverages with water.Water has no fat, no calories and is a basic part of any healthy-eating plan.When you drink all the water you need, you will very quickly notice a decrease in your appetite, possibly even from the first day!

4)Switch From sugar to natural sweetener:because sugar is addictive and most of it is hidden in the foods and drinks we enjoy everyday, reducing sugar in our diets is not so easy.A teaspoon of sugar has about 15 calories. If you switch to natural sweetener you can reduce that number to zero.

5)Switch to whole grains:when whole grains are milled into refined grains(white flour,white bread,etc), the bran, the germ and their nutrients are lost.So start incorporating whole-grains as much as possible to further boost your fiber intake, which can also be accomplished with fresh fruits and vegetables. You’ll also need to drink a lot of water, as it helps digestion.

6)Cut out all fried foods:fried foods are often at the top of people’s food preferences.The main reason why fried foods are not healthy to eat is because they often contain Tran’s fats.There are healthier techniques that can be used to cook these foods by grilling, baking or boiling them.
