For millions of people the ability to successfully lose weight eludes them. They think there is some magic that goes into dieting and that dieting doesn’t work for them. Well first thing they need to realize is that dieting is not taking a magic pill. It is a change in your lifestyle and getting rid of some bad habits. Here are the guaranteed ways of losing weight and living a healthier life at the same time.

Reduce your caloric intake - By reducing your caloric intake by 15 - 20% is your first step. As you go through these steps this one will sort of just happen by cutting other things out. We will touch on those in a second. If you are currently taking in a very high amount of calories you may have to adjust this so that it will work for you

Drink more - No I’m not talking about Beer. In fact if you drink a lot of Beer you need to switch that for water. So the key here is to drink a ton of water. At least 8 glasses of water a day. Drinking a lot of water will also help you eat less. If you start off each meal by drinking a glass of water you will feel fuller quicker and essentially eat less.

Eat more meals - Eat smaller meals more frequently through the day. This will reduce overeating and increase your metabolism and burn more calories more efficiently.

More protein - You should eat approx. 1 gram of protein per pound of lean body mass. Protein helps repair your muscles and you will see why this is important in just a minute.

Reduce the bad carbs - You should lower the number of carbs you take in. Especially the ones from breads, sugars and beer. The good carbs that you want to get your energy from are fruits and vegetables.

Enlist friends and family - Don’t go it alone. Get others that want to join you on this lifestyle change. It will help you remain accountable and encourage each other along the way.

Do cardio in the morning - Do at least 20 minutes of cardio in the morning. This helps turn on your fat burning machine to help you burn calories all day long. Even while your sitting in front of your computer at work. Exercise breaks down muscle tissue which proteins help repair.

Keep Score - This is what I like to call tracking your progress. Keep a food journal , exercise log, take pictures so you can see the changes, track your BMI, log your weight, and most importantly write out your plan and make it part of who you are. If you write things down and make them a part of you, your chances of success go through the roof.

So now its time to take action. Stop putting this off and start today. You are the only person that can 100% guarantee yourself that you can shed the pounds and get that body you have always wanted. Good luck and I will be here with you the entire way.
