Water
Did you know that water is essential for weight loss? Water helps to flush your body clean of toxins and fat. Drinking ample water each day allows your bodily functions to work optimally. One of the biggest benefits of drinking water while losing weight is that it makes you feel full! If you always have a full water bottle with you and drink it throughout the day, it will take away your "extra" hunger and help you from snitching unwanted calories!
Fiber
Fiber is a wondrous fat loss aid. Eating foods rich in fiber throughout the day will really make you feel full and help to keep your appetite in check. Try to incorporate about 5 grams of fiber per meal (about 25 total for the day). If you are currently not up to par with your fiber intake (and chances are you are not) gradually increase to 25 grams per day to prevent bloating.
Free day
Yippee! A day of eating anything you want, anything you desire is allowed! Not only is it allowed, it is also encouraged. By completely denying yourself of all sweets and snacks while dieting, you may be setting yourself up for a disastrous fallout. Allow yourself one day per week where you can have a piece of your favorite dessert or a couple of Pina Coladas or whatever your favorite treat may be. This can really help you mind to "breathe" and accept the dietary changes the other 6 days of the week.
