Answer

These are the basic tips I've been giving out lately since it has worked out well for me so far. I've also done my own bit of research and these are all the healthiest guidelines I could find to follow that aren't difficult to figure out.

First off make sure your goal weight is healthy based on your height and body type, don't aim to be skinny aim to be healthy.

Drink more water to help regulate your diet so you won't over eat (hunger and thirst have similar signals). Drink a glass or two of water first thing in the morning, before every meal, after you workout, and before bed. 

Find an online calculator and figure out your BMR and TDEE, then keep your intake between those to make sure you're eating enough but still able to lose weight just from eating less. Keep a healthy diet, eat lots of fruits and veggies, cut back on sweets if you eat a lot, and lower your carb intake. Eating mostly protein can help keep you energized and depending on the diet you want to keep can be the most filling option. But either way make sure your diet is balanced and healthy.

Workout at least 30 min a day, but whatever you do don't over do it. Cardio is a solid way to workout. If you're not a runner, start with 20 min walks in the morning and gradually increase your pace as you get used to it. Weight training is also great to add to your regimen as it helps increase muscle mass which increases metabolism. A higher metabolism means you'll burn calories faster and lose weight faster.

If you want to make it a bit easier you can download a diet and workout tracking app like Lifesum to take some of the guess work out of it all. I suggest Lifesum because it's free version tracks diet, workout, water intake, and weight all in a simple format. But any tracker you prefer works really.

The key is to make sure you're not over doing anything, remember everything in moderation. Losing weight is a side effect, but being healthy is the goal. Good luck! 😊

Keep a daily log of what you eat.  Put down everything.  Until you see what you're really eating everyday in black and white, it's kind of hard to be honest with yourself and learn to make better choices.  It's about changing your diet for the long run.  Not dieting.  If you cut something out of your diet, be sure it's something that you can live your life without.  Otherwise, you're just going to end up binging on it and undoing all the good work that you've done.  It's ultimately about knowing yourself, making good choices, and portion control.

Answer

Dont forget to exercise even if it is just a walk.

Answer

Lots and lots of water. 
Cut out soda/juice
Make snacking worth it: like all veggie salads with very little low fat dressing or just olive oil and salt and pepper

Don't get discouraged that it doesn't happen over night.
