Lots of people are on the web trying to sell the latest and greatest fat loss tips in all sorts of formats. Its not that these tips are wrong when it comes to wanting to slim down, it's just that lots of the products available are simply makeovers of information that has been floating around the internet for years. They work, but do you really need to spend a ton of money on these ideas?



If you do enjoy spending money to believe that something is important and that the more spent, the better the information is, then these tips are probably not for you. Because they are so simple in nature they can be done by virtually anyone. No need to buy a gym membership or spend money on the super size weight set or one of those machines that folds up and sits in the corner of your apartment.



Pretty much, with a lot of people it's a given that the gym membership will simply continue to be an ongoing expense that people feel bad about letting go of. Extensive weight sets with super curl bars and such are really targeted toward pro athletes and the machines spend most of their time folded up in the corner.



Here are two top guidelines to help you burn more fat and lose more weight in your quest for better health.



Drink More - Drink A Lot More



Water that is. Go to your fridge and get rid of all the artificially sweetened beverages. Throw out all the energy drinks and for right now, don't even drink fresh squeezed juice. Many people don't drink anywhere near enough water during the course of the day. And plenty of times when people feel hungry or think its time for a snack, what is really happening is that they are thirsty. 



Your brain has learned to misread the signs from the blood, particularly if you have been drinking a lot of artificially sweetened drinks. Your system craves water, and many people give it food instead. Try drinking about 6 - 8 glasses (8 ounces) a day and you will be quite surprised by how different you feel when it comes to meal times.





Eat More - Eat A Lot More 



Often that is. For some reason when we are growing up were taught the notion that not only are we meant to get hungry on a schedule (and usually somebody else's timetable) but that when we get the meal, we are well behaved if we clean our plates. The number of calories that many people eat in the course of one regular meal is frequently more than many thinner people eat in the course of a whole day.



If you decide that you are going to be in charge of what you eat and your own weight reduction, then try breaking up the day with additional frequent meals. The fact is, your stomach is only about the size of your fist. How much food do you actually think you can fit in there? And interestingly, lots of people learn to eat through anxiety about there not being any more food for them.



So they're not only scared, but they eat far more than their bodies can possibly process before next meal time. Eat small meals, more often during the day, and you will be amazed at how hungry you do NOT get during the day. Your body will process your food more efficiently; and you will not eat anywhere near as much because you are not as hungry. 



Try the two of these tips out. They are simple to apply in your regular day and they can help you see benefits right away, which will give you even motivation to lose weight fast.
