Weight loss, except when on a reality tv show, has to be a gradual thing. You go out to lunch every day with the boys from work to get a sandwich? Fine - start by getting the *small* sandwich, without the cheese, without the mayo. Stuff like that. Make incremental progress. Cherry pick the easy stuff.
I have a bad habit of wandering the house at 11pm and sneaking something out of the fridge when I am downstairs and bored by myself after the family's gone to sleep. Solution? I go to bed earlier - I may wander from living room to kitchen but I'm not getting out of bed and going downstairs just for a bite.
For everything you do during the day, you can apply this rule. What did you have for breakfast? I had a piece of bananabread with some creamcheese on it. Maybe tomorrow I'll have a smaller slice, or maybe something else on it instead. For lunch, leftover meatloaf sandwich and 2 of the chocolate chip cookies the kids made last night. Maybe next time, no cookies. Or maybe instead of a sandwich, just on a plate - get rid of the bread. Get the idea? Whatever you just did or ate, how could you have made it better for you?
To reiterate - if you try to change your life overnight, you will be your own worst enemy, and you will cheat. But you'll only be cheating yourself. Ease into it, see progress ("Wow, just by getting rid of the cheese and mayo on my lunch I dropped 2pounds this week!") and you will be encouraged to continue, rather than the opposite ("I starved myself all week, and just because I ate that one entire pizza on Friday night I still gained 3lbs?! Screw it!")
Lost 30pounds doing it this way.

When drinking, have a good beer rather than a wine or cocktail.
Wine and cocktails are empty calories, and they don't even fill you up. A good beer has complex carbohydrates, assorted minor nutrients, and fills you up so that you don't eat or drink so much. As a recommended good beer, anything brewed by Sierra Nevada, which is widely available.

My wife has lost 35 pounds by eliminating just 3 things and doing 3 or 4 others. # 1 Consume nothing that contains white flour. The biggest carb problem in foods. #2 No white processed sugar. #3 No white bread
The three things she does do are #1 drink as much water as you possibly can each day. Your body will begin to burn existing fat to replace all the eliminated carbs, you need the water to flush the system out of the unwanted stuff stored in the fat. #2 Only eat vegetables that are raw. Canned greens contain high levels of salt and cooked veggies lose most of the vitamins and coursness needed for strength and system cleaning. Juiced carrots with apple slices were her favorite drink. It will surprise you how good these taste together. # 3 Replace most of the red meat with high protien fish like Salmon or Halibut. She had great luck ridding herself of those hunger pangs between meals by eating a bowl of unsweetened cereal . Write a menu out for the whole month and stick with it-you can do it. See a doctor to make sure other problems don't exist. This is just a summary of what worked and has continued to work for her over the last several years. Good Luck...you are on the right track just reconizing the need for change. That's a big step in itself !

M$I most helpful thing to me was to find out how many calories there are in everything I ate. For example, mustard has no calories but mayo and catchup have a lot. By using a spreadsheet to count my calories, I realized that I could eat just about anything if I was careful about the quantity.
Here is a web site.

Dr. Matt is right on this. Your body has "set points" for your metabolism, and if you deliberately set the point lower, you will store more of what you eat. My metabolic disorder is similar to this in that when it was at its worst, I was storing almost 100% of what I was eating. I'm much better now. That's why my best tip is to talk to an endocrinologist or even just a regular MD first, although most regular MD's don't know much about either nutrition or endocrinology. I still can't eat a "normal" diet, but I'm on my way.
"Eat less"... My wife, who is a nutritionist, would shoot fire from her eyes.
When you eat less, your body goes into starvation mode and starts STORING.
I agree with what you are intending to say... Watch your caloric intake.
"I could eat just about anything." So... if I decided just to eat ice cream, that would be okay? I don't think so...
I lost 35 pounds and ate ice cream every few days.
I usually ate oat meal or low calorie cereal with skim milk for breakfast. I added low calorie fruit like fresh apricots.
For lunch I had vegetables and low cal cottage cheese.
For dinner I ate fish instead of meat, or if I had meat I limited myself to a piece of meat the size of my hand. And I often had ice cream. One of the best is Healthy Choice chocolate bars. Delicious and only 100 calories. There are others than have as low as 40 calories.
But the main reason that I was able to lose weight (over about five months) was that I did a spread sheet with a lot of the foods that I like to eat and I found out how many calories each serving contained. This helped me to understand that I didn't have to suffer, I only needed to be prudent. And to exercise more.
Expend more calories than you take in.
You can achieve this by keeping track of what you eat and exercising daily

Thank you for your question.
Healthy eating and doing an hour of exercise a day.
Fad diets don't work. Trust me, I have done a few in my time.

M$It's tougher to do than it sounds. But while eating if you even have a slight twinge of thinking or feeling that you're full, stop.
Slow down. Simply take longer to eat. Chew more, relax.
Eat tasty main meals and only healthy snacks. You don't want to starve, but eating fruit, veggies, and other extremely healthy snacks will give you the energy you need.
Drink water. Get away from the sugar filled drinks. Find a good brand of water that you like, even if it's expensive and drink that.
Last, talk to people who have lost weight. Draw from their experience and motivation. I'm not saying join a support group (unless you want to) but talking with like minded people who have overcome a common obsticle is one of the most valuable things you can do.

Bottled water is no better for you than tap water--in fact, it's regulated by far fewer people.
I agree Clarusvisum. However, it's not that bottled water is better or not. To me, it's the taste.
My local tap water doesn't taste very good. Inexpensive bottled water has a much better / mild taste.

M$My biggest tip would be to see your doctor first. The reason? Your doctor can run tests to find out how your body deals with sugar; what your thyroid hormone levels are; what your BMI is; how your endocrine system is functioning. No matter how good something you read sounds, unless you know these things, you don't have the basis for making a good judgment on what to do.
For example, someone mentioned following a 50/30/20 ration of carbs, protein and fat. First, it's hard to hit that ratio eating whole, natural foods, unless you do things that were not traditionally done to them back when diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and developmental and fertifility problems were rare.
I have a metabolic disorder that means I can eat almost no carbs at all. Were I to follow that diet, I'd have a stroke or heart attack within weeks, because my whole system goes haywire. I have to have a completely different ratio.
Other people might have thyroid problems or things like PCOS which mess with your hormones, including those that regulate how fat is stored and burned. Unless you know that going in, you could follow an eating plan that could make the problem worse, rather than better. For example, a person with thyroid problems would not want to eat a "heart-healthy" diet high in soy (especially not now that the American Heart Association no longer endorses it)--soy depresses thyroid function.
That said, The Leptin Diet is a good match for many endocrine system problems that result in overweight. But it might not be right for you.
Hours spent in doctors' offices; 50 lb. weight loss between kids; 35 lb. loss after birth of last; endocrine system problem developed during last pregnancy

As someone with their doctorate in Clinical Hypnotherapy, I've GOT to refute this. Any good hypnotist knows, there is no "best" method. And hypnosis is NOT inexpensive. Hypnosis is a tool to be used with the TWO BEST (yes, I know) ways to let go of weight: diet and exercise. (Diet meaning "how you eat".)
1. Take your fist, put it out, and look at it. That's all you need to eat.
2. Chew your food thoroughly and eat slowly. The slower you eat, the quicker you might feel full.
3. Drink 8 glasses of water daily.
4. Eat healthy foods with dietary fiber, vegetables, fruits, grains etc

M$Burn more calories, consume fewer calories. That should be the foundation of all weight loss endeavors. It's the only thing that's proven to work reliably. In addition:
- Change your diet, but don't "diet" diet. Fad diets start you on the track of weight yo-yo'ing upward.
- Don't starve yourself; it's okay to eat something that's 'bad for you' once in a while (like on a weekend or something). Balance is important.
- Find something that's both fun for you and good exercise, to prevent exercise from being considered a chore in your mind, which can become a big psychological disadvantage. And if it's not fun, try to make it fun (you won't burn any fewer calories if you're watching TV while on the treadmill).
- The right time to stop eating is not when you're full, but when you're not hungry anymore. You'd be surprised how many calories you'll not consume by doing this; it can really add up.
I didn't look for tips on any website because you asked for "your" tips. So there they are; hope they help.
