Here is a quick no nonsense guide to what you can to in order to get healthy and lose weight. This is part 2 in a 5 part series.

(Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5)

5 - Learn about substitutions. There are some foods out there that are good for you, but that can be improved upon. For example, eggs may be considered to be good for you, but there are actually egg substitute products that are better for you. The same goes for butter and margarine, for example. If you can find a lower fat, lower calorie, lower carb alternative that is healthy and natural, why not try it? Learning about substitutions is a good way to determine how you can cut calories out of your diet without even trying.

6 - Read your labels. It sucks to read labels, it really does, but it is something that you really need to be able to do if you want to be healthy and make the right food choices. You need to know what you are putting into your mouth and into your body, and if you are not aware of what you are eating, then you are simply flying blind, which is no way for you to live if you care about your health or your well being. You need to be able to do the food math to know whether or not you are making healthy choices, and this is the way to do it.

7 - Tell your family about your diet and weight loss. You are not going to lose this weight all by yourself, even if you are the only person losing any weight. If you have a family at home, or any close friends that you can really rely on, then what you need to do right now is to talk to these important people in your life about your weight loss endeavor so that they can find ways to help you along on your journey. You are going to want their love and support while you work to achieve your goals, and you are going to want to have them present when it comes time to share in all of your grand successes. Maybe some of the new healthy habits that you are making will rub off on them in the right way, and maybe, just maybe, some of your family members will join you on your crusade to become healthy.

8 - Make it public. One of the best ways that you can get on the path to success with weight loss is to be public about what you're doing. Hold yourself accountable for your actions in any way that you possibly can, even if it means blogging publicly about your weight loss goals and dreams. When people begin to read your progress, they will root you on, and you'll have people to succeed for in addition to yourself. It really doesn't get any better than this, because it means having fans and supporters, potentially from all over the world.
