My next simple natural weight loss tip is: Never give up.

Sometimes you start a weight loss program with a lot of enthusiasm, and follow closely the recommendations within that program, but don’t succeed in losing any weight. Don’t assume the problem is with you and give up. If you have truly followed the program, and are not losing weight, the problem may be with the program you are following.

Don’t follow fads, just because a weight loss program is hot right now does not make it a good program for you. But if one diet does not wotk, try another.

There is no one size fits all diet. If you are having trouble losing weight, consult your doctor, or a qualified nutritionist to help you design a plan that works for you.

Your caloric and nutritional needs are uniquely yours, they depend on your genetics, your age, sex, lifestyle, fitness level, etc.; and no book or website can give you the personal attention a professional nutritionist or doctor can give you. Getting a plan tailor made to your personal needs may be exactly what you need to lose weight.

My next simple natural weight loss tip is: Make a plan.

Planning can make losing weight much easier. Plan your meals for the week, plan your shopping trips, even plan your snacks.The more you plan, the more you make things easy on yourself.

If you go to the grocery store, and buy whatever strikes your fancy, it becomes much harder to stick to your diet. You have to think about what you have bought, and how to make tasty and low-calorie meals from your purchases. If you have shopped well, it will still be possible, but if you made some poor choices when you were shopping, it becomes hard, if not impossible, to eat sensibly.

Losing weight becomes easier if you plan out your meals in advance, and shop accordingly. It also makes sense to plan in a little indulgence into your weekly diet. (I don’t mean you should plan exactly when you are going to indulge yourself, but to buy something that will feel like a special treat for yourself, to eat whenever you need a little psychological boost. As long as you purchase the smallest possible portion, such as a single serve ice cream, if that is what you crave, you won’t destroy your diet.) Giving yourself permission to have occasional special treats will make it easier to stick to your weight loss resolutions.

Shop from a list whenever you go grocery shopping, and make sure that what you put on the list matches your plan for the week.

Find a friend or family member who also wants to lose weight, or more than one, if you can.

You can become each others support group, and it will help each of you to make a public commitment to lose weight. This will give you the added motivation of peer pressure, only moving you towards healthy eating habits, rather than bad habits.

Likewise, be careful of who you choose to spend time with. If your usual idea of a night out with friends is to go to a bar and overeat, while washing the food down with gallons of beer, you will undo an entire week of eating well in a single evening.

This doesn’t mean you need to lose all your friends, but that you need to spend time with people who support your weight loss efforts. If your current friends are onboard, by all means spend time with them, but if all they do is encourage you to forget your weight loss efforts, you need to avoid them, at least until you feel you have strongly established the habit of making healthier choices when it comes to eating and drinking.

That’s why creating your own support group is a good one; you can become each other’s little voice that says “Do you really want to eat that?”

Having a weight loss buddy, or several, can also make losing weight fun. You can try out recipes on each other, and share any weight loss tips that you find. You can also challenge each other to do better, week by week, and inspire each other if your resolve begins to fade.
