I personal lost 60 pounds in 2003. Here are some tactics I used to lose weight. Eat every three hours. This will keep your blood sugar stable. Try to eat real food at least three times a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner. In between your food meals take a good meal replacement shake or bar.

Never eat a carbohydrate by itself. This is basically all sugar. When you eat a carbohydrate by itself there is a sudden increase in sugar in body. This causes body to release insulin. However, body releases too much insulin because it thinks more sugar is coming. The insulin basically grabs sugar/carbohydrate and stores it to fat for use at some other time. Since your body released too much insulin there is not enough sugar to support brain function. That is why you feel tired or sluggish. So you’re fatter and dumber.

Watch gums and mints. Many of these little gums and mints contain calories, sugars, and everything else that is not good for you. Read labels, if it has sugar in it do not eat it.

I want to make this perfectly clear, fruits are health and they are good for you. They are loaded with vitamins, fiber, and minerals. Fruits have also been shown to fight against cancer. However, when we are talking about weight loss we need to take a closer look at fruits.

It is pretty obvious to everyone that when you want to lose weight you watch your sugar intact, right? Well, there is a reason why fruits are called, “nature’s candy”. In fact, you need realize that a glass of orange juice is just about same as a glass of soda.
