Lots of people are on-line trying to sell the latest and greatest fat loss tips in all kinds of formats. It isn't that these tips are completely wrong with regards to wanting to shed pounds, it's just that lots of the products available are simply makeovers of information that has been floating around the web for years. They work, but do you really need to invest a ton of cash on these ideas?



If you do enjoy spending money to believe that something is important and that the more spent, the better the knowledge is, then the following tips are probably not for you. Since they're so simple in nature they can be completed by virtually anyone. No need to buy a health club membership or purchase the super size weight set or one of those machines that folds up and sits in the corner of your house.



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



Here are two top tips 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 refrigerator and get rid of all the artificially sweetened drinks. Throw out all the energy drinks and for today, 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 misinterpret the indicators from the blood, especially if you have been drinking lots of artificially sweetened drinks. Your system craves water, and many people give it food instead. Try drinking about 6 - 8 glasses (8 ounces) each 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. Somehow when we are growing up we are 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 consume in the course of one regular meal is frequently more than many leaner people eat in the course of a whole day.



If you decide that you are going to be in control of what you eat and your own weight loss, 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 really think you can fit in there? And interestingly, many people learn to eat through anxiety about there not being any more food for them.



So not only are they scared, but they eat a lot more than their bodies could quite possibly process before next meal time. Eat small meals, more often during the course of the day, and you will be amazed at how hungry you do NOT get throughout 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 easy to implement in your regular day and they can help you see results right away, which will give you even incentive to lose weight fast.
