Easy weight loss tips for Our Good Health

The tips listed below are "easy weight loss tips" because they don't require anything out of the ordinary. Most of them you've no doubt heard before and probably have implemented in some way or another, while others may seem a little unorthodox but can still be helpful in your quest to shed pounds!

We'll start with the basics:

1. Drink water instead of soda or sugary drinks. While this isn't exactly a new idea, it is a convenient way to cut calories from your daily intake. Research has shown that drinking water throughout the day can help to boost your metabolism, which in turn helps you lose weight faster.

2. Bring your lunch to work. If you aren't able to prepare all of your meals at home, bringing your lunch to work will at least limit how much processed food you eat each day and gives you more control over what goes into it. Even if you normally eat out for lunch, think about packing one meal each week with the goal of slowly increasing it until all of your lunches are homemade and packed instead of bought at a restaurant or deli counter.

3. Eat breakfast! This is an important meal that kickstarts your metabolism for the day and helps prevent you from eating too much later on in the day.
