Want great tips? I just came up with a quick list for you. How's this?

1. log everything that goes in your mouth
2. drink enough water so that you pee clear
3. cut out or limit all other drinks, including but not limited to diet soft drinks
4. log your activities
5. log your sleep
6. burn more calories than you consume
7. eat nutrient dense food
8. stay away from empty calories
9. cut out or limit simple carbs and other trigger foods
10. be honest with what you log
11. know that not all fats are created equal. Nuts, avocados, olive oil are just a few good ones
12. know that not all carbs are created equal
13. take in enough protein, there are varying opinions on how much is enough. Some say 1g/lb of body weight, others say 1g/lb of lean body mass, and others may say 1g/kg of body weight
14. try to eat balanced meals and snacks. Protein, fats and carbs with every meal. Don't eat a 1/2 dozen donuts and 3 hours later try to catch up with a pound of chicken
15. take pictures of yourself in your undies or bathing suit, etc and keep the pictures
16. know that excuses will take you nowhere but backwards
17. take junk food out your house, if it's not there, you'll be less tempted to eat it
18. weight your food
19. know that more effort = more results

I may come up with more.
