The majority of dieters who are actually successful at losing weight AND keeping it off have one thing in common: They eat breakfast every day.

• Eating breakfast helps you spread out your hunger and manage your food intake better throughout the day tells Dr. James O. Hill, Director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the University of Colorado - If you start out the day by eating something, you don't get this burning hunger later that causes you to overeat. When you skip breakfast it also slows down your metabolism.

I personally eat a fresh fruit salad, made from local, seasonal fruits.

Weight Loss Tips: #5 - Eat fruits and vegetables every day

Not only are fruits and veggies low in calories, they'll fill you up and help prevent all kinds of awful illnesses - cancer and heart disease included. So, eat more fruits and vegetables

Expose yourself to the sunlight at least 1/2 hour a day to help losing the cholesterol deposits. The sun energy will also boost your metabolism.

Weight Loss Tips: #7 - Avoid toxic foods, eat healthy food

Avoid processed and artificial foods that will not give you any nutrients but will make you fat. Eat a balanced diet of healthy foods containing good proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals, because if you don't give the body what it needs it will try to adapt in a way you may not like.

Restaurant food is always good - because someone else does the work! But it's usually made with bad fats (over heated and re-used cheap oils), bad salt, sugars, artificial flavors, canned vegetables,... and it comes in much larger portions than we need. Eat out only as a treat, or read Montignac's book: Dine Out and Lose Weight

Weight Loss Tips: #10 - Add some Salt to your Food

When we add salt to the food, our salivary glands are activated, giving us the necessary liquid that will dissolve the food, making it tastier and easier to swallow. Adding good, natural salt to the food is also very important for the digestion.

This isn't as painful as it sounds. Walking to the bus stop, taking the steps at work, or actually sweating on a treadmill all count for this half-hour of activity.
