Do easy ways to lose weight exist? Everyone knows that diet, cutting down on caloric intake, and exercise, increasing calories burned, combine into a formula for weight loss. But sticking to the diet is the hard part. It won't be 100% simple, but with a little work it sure is easier. Here are some tips to make it easier.

Carry a notebook to jot down everything that passes your lips. Keeping notes helps you eat less. Studies show that people eat 15% less when they track everything they eat. That's significant.

On average Americans consume 245 calories a day from drinks. Make the switch to zero calorie water. 245 calories a day is nearly 90,000 calories each 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.

Eat five or six smaller meals a day instead of three large meals a day. Eating more meals with smaller portions 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 purchase a whole new wardrobe.

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

Similar to the idea of using smaller plates, serve your food on the plate rather than in bowls on the table. 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. Do eat whole grain breads and brown 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 be intimidated if it's only easier instead of really easy. If weight loss were easy, everyone would be a supermodel.
