Write down a two-step plan that incorporates both reducing calorie intake and increasing the number of calories burned. This usually involves adopting a diet. It also involves at least counting the caloric intake. A weekly exercise regimen should be planned that includes work-outs at least three days per week. The first two weeks should have a daily intake of 1,100 to 1,200 calories. The diet should include cranberry juice and vegetables with each meal to help with detoxification.

Decide on a start date and stick to it. This is important because many people plan to lose weight at some future nonspecific date, but they never set a time line.

On the start date, begin writing down the number of calories ingested daily and the increases in burning calories. Note that the increase in burning calories doesn't need to be in vigorous exercise. Taking a walk during a lunch break instead of sitting will burn extra calories.

After two weeks, the daily intake can be increased to 1,200 to 1,500 calories, which should still include cranberry juice and vegetables with each meal for the detoxification effect. Stick to your plan, even if the rate of weight loss slows. Bodies usually adjust to the decrease in calories by burning them more efficiently. Therefore, after a few initial pounds are lost, the weight loss reaches a tableau. Body weight stabilizes before more weight loss is achieved.

Realize that a weight loss plan is actually a commitment to a new lifestyle. The new lifestyle doesn't have to be dramatically different, but it does need to consistently feature reduced caloric intake and an increase in body movement, which burns calories. If adhered to, this plan will result in better health, an increased sense of well-being and a better outlook on life.

Tips & Warnings
Low-calorie candy can help negate urges to eat high-calorie food. Keep a log of your weight, but make sure to measure it at the same time of day at each measurement because weight varies throughout the day.
Most people suffer setbacks and splurge with an eating binge. Don't give up on your weight loss plan because of a binge. The overall strategy will still succeed if it is adhered to.
