Are there any easy methods to drop weight? Everyone knows that diet, lowering food intake, and exercise, increasing calories burned, work together as a formula for losing weight. But the hard part is sticking to a low calorie, and often bland, diet. It won't be 100% simple, but with a little work it sure is easier. Here are some tricks to make it easier.

Carry a notebook to jot down everything that passes your lips. Writing down everything you eat and drink, even water, will help you eat less. Studies show that people eat 15% less when they track everything they eat. 15% is a lot.

On average Americans consume 245 calories a day from drinks. Switch from juice, soda, and other calorie drinks to water. 245 calories a day add up to 90,000 calories per year. That's 25 pounds. Water isn't that bad, is it? Another fact is that despite their calories, drinks like soda and juice don't trigger a feeling of fullness the way foods do.

Grazing, eating more smaller meals during the day rather than a few large meals, is another way to drop weight. Studies show that eating in smaller portions more often results in eating 30% fewer calories. Furthermore, even the same number of calories eaten in smaller portions during more frequent meals can result in weight loss. You're less likely to binge because the body releases less insulin.

Make sure your wardrobe only includes the “skinny” clothes. If you don't have clothes that are comfortable when you're fat, you're more likely to be reminded to keep slim every time you dress. And you're less likely to gain weight if doing so means having to buy a whole new wardrobe.

Use smaller plates. It's been proven that people eat more when more food is available, and they eat less when less food is available. Smaller plates mean smaller portions, so put the salad plates into use as the main plate.

Try serving meals on the plate, restaurant style, rather than in bowls and on trays. Again, people tend to eat what's in front of them.

Avoid white foods such as white bread, sugar, and white rice. Those foods are loaded with carbohydrates which lead to higher blood sugar and weight gain. Stick to whole grain breads and dark rice. Don't be concerned with the sugar, pretty soon you won't miss it.

There are a lot of other tips for easy ways to lose weight. Don't think it won't take a little work. If weight loss were effortless everyone would be slim all the time.
