Lots of people are on the web trying to sell the most recent fat loss tips in all kinds of formats. Its not that these tips are wrong when it comes to wanting to lose weight, it's just that many of the products available are simply makeovers of information that has been floating around the web for years. They work, but are you wanting to invest a ton of money on these ideas?



If you do like to spend money to believe that something is important and that the more you spend, the better the information 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 gym membership or invest in the super size weight set or one of those machines that folds up and sits in the corner of your house.



Basically, 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 guilt ridden about abandoning. 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 ideas to help you burn more fat and lose more pounds in your quest for better health.



Drink More - Drink A Lot More



Water that is. Head to your refrigerator and get rid of all the artificially sweetened drinks. Throw out all the energy drinks and for right now, don't even drink fresh squeezed juice. Most people don't drink anywhere near enough water during the course of the day. And many 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 signals from the blood, particularly if you have been drinking a lot of artificially sweetened drinks. The body demands 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 have been taught the notion that not only are we supposed to get hungry on a schedule (and usually somebody else's schedule) 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 often more than many slimmer people eat in the course of a whole day.



If you decide that you are going to be in charge of your diet and your own weight loss, then try breaking up the day with additional frequent meals. Truth 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 fear of there not being any more food for them.



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



Try these two 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 incentive to lose weight fast.
