================== ARTICLE START ==================

Are you tired of getting the same old advice when it comes to

dieting? Are you looking for some quick tips to help motivate

yourself during a diet? Why not follow along below to learn

about some quick healthy weight loss tips?

Tip # 1: Take off five pounds quickly before a big event!

If you're generally in good shape, but you want to pare off a

few

pounds to look your best before a big event like a class

reunion, one of the best ways to do it is to cleanse your

system. For the week before, skip the breads and pastas, eat

lots of raw vegetables and salads, and drink at least eight

ounce glasses of water a day. You'll not only end up slimmer,

you'll feel 100% more energetic and healthy.

Tip # 2: Lose weight without dieting!

It's a lot easier than you think. The key is exercise. Just one

half hour of moderate exercise per day will burn calories - and

better yet, kick your metabolism into high gear so that you

continue burning calories at a higher rate. Bonuses: you'll be

doing your health a favor, too. The latest research shows that

adding moderate exercise to your daily routine can help lower

cholesterol, slow the progression of type-2 diabetes and

improve your circulation. What's moderate exercise? A brisk one

mile walk, half an hour of dancing, or chasing the kids around

in a game of tag will do it.

Tip # 3: Start your day off right!

Don't skip breakfast when you're dieting, and don't go for the

convenience of a 'nutrition bar'. Give your body the pick-me-up

of fresh fruit in either juice or raw form, and the staying

power of a whole grain. One of the best breakfasts you can have

is a bowl of whole-grain cereal with fresh berries, melon or

peaches. You get

the sugar your body craves, the carbs it needs to run on, and

the added

benefit of antioxidant vitamins to help it stay on track and

balanced.

Tip # 4: Take a high quality multivitamin every day.

There's no substitute for a diet that has a healthy balance of

all foods, but it's far too easy to skimp on the essentials

when you're dieting. Make sure that your body doesn't miss out

on the nutrients it needs just because you're cutting calories.

A good multivitamin should contain, at a minimum, the minimum

recommended daily allowances of vitamins A, B6, B12, C, E and

K. While you're at it, get out in the sun for at least ten

minutes a day to help your body manufacture the vitamin D that

it needs.

Tip # 5: Eat your veggies - especially your lettuce.

But don't confine yourself to iceberg lettuce or to salads.

Darker greens have about the same number of calories and carbs,

but pack a lot more punch in the vitamins and other nutrient

categories. By substituting radicchio, watercress, escarole or

spinach for the iceberg lettuce, you add vitamin C,

riboflavin’s, manganese and other essential vitamins that

aren't present in lettuce. Try them braised, steamed or grilled

for something a little different from the usual salad.
