    • Fill up on Fiber. Fiber is found in healthy foods including vegetables, fruits, beans and whole grains. Some studies have shown that simply eating more fiber-rich foods may help you lose weight and keep it off (1, 2).
    • Ditch Added Sugar. Added sugar, especially from sugary drinks, is a major reason for unhealthy weight gain and health problems like diabetes and heart disease (3, 4).
    • Make Room for Healthy Fat. While fat is often the first thing that gets cut when you’re trying to slim down, healthy fats can actually help you reach your weight loss goals.

    • Get more sleep. "We tend to put sleep on the back burner," says Jennifer McDaniel, MS, RDN, a nutritionist in private practice in St. Louis, MO. "We think we have to get the laundry done, or the house needs to be perfectly clean or we get lost in a TV show, but people have to be serious about getting consistent, regular sleep if they want to get the most weight loss."
    • Don't skip breakfast. "Usually people say they're not hungry for breakfast, but I tell them they should train themselves to be hungry in the morning," says Jodi Greebel, MS, RDN, a dietitian in private practice in New York.
    • Give probiotics a chance. "Certain strains of bacteria found in some probiotics can improve a sense of satiety and raise blood levels of mood-improving biochemicals, like serotonin," says Maleskey.
    • Eat more often. Generally, you should be feeding your body every 3 to 4 hours (except when you're sleeping, of course), notes Greebel, cautioning that "more often doesn't mean continuously."
    • Make sure you're ready. Long-term weight loss takes time and effort — and a long-term commitment. While you don't want to put off weight loss indefinitely, you should make sure you're ready to make permanent changes to eating and activity habits.
    • Find your inner motivation. No one else can make you lose weight. You must undertake diet and exercise changes to please yourself. What's going to give you the burning drive to stick to your weight-loss plan?
    • Set realistic goals. It may seem obvious to set realistic weight-loss goals. But do you really know what's realistic? Over the long term, it's smart to aim for losing 1 to 2 pounds (0.5 to 1 kilogram) a week.
    • Enjoy healthier foods. Adopting a new eating style that promotes weight loss must include lowering your total calorie intake. But decreasing calories need not mean giving up taste, satisfaction or even ease of meal preparation.
