Ready to get started? Let's do this...

* Working at a calorie deficit is the basic rule to adhere to.

This means you must consume less calories overall in a day than you do at the minute. Don't cut your intake by a drastic amount, just work at this bit by bit because a drastic cut can have negative results. That's why extreme celeb weight loss plans don't work long term. Cut 200 cals per day until you hit your target daily intake then keep it there.

* You will need more protein when dieting.

Even if you are not concerned with getting muscular you don't want to be losing muscle. Lose the bad weight, i.e. fat, not the good weight. Your body's natural reaction to you eating less fat and carbs is to look to burn muscle instead. Kill this and force it to hang onto your muscle by consuming more protein when dieting.

* Snack on protein rich foods.

Protein doesn't encourage your body to store fat as much as either carbohydrates or fats. So next time you want a snack, go with protein. Try turkey, fish, chicken or even a protein shake. You will be amazed at the results gained from this little technique, as your body will begin adapting and naturally storing less bad fats. Once you get into this routine you will literally never go back.

* Carry healthy snack pots in your back pack every day.

When you are at work with no healthy food in sight and a long shift still ahead of you this is the moment you are most likely to crack and search out instant energy, sugar filled foods which will wreak hell on your dieting results. Carry a few small snack pots with you to work. Make sure each tub is not large enough to fit anything more than a 50 or 100 calorie snack into it and you'll see why so many people quote this steps as their secret weight loss formula.
