Think you know your ABC's yet? I'm not referring to the old classroom basics learned in primary school. But principles of healthy weight loss success. Here are 26 of the most important weight loss tips, from A through Z. 

A) Be mindful of portion sizes. B) Balance nutrition

Eat plenty of vegetables, fruits, grains, lean meats and fish for the greatest benefits. Do not overeat carbohydrates.

The most important of the diet tips for healthy weight loss is to decide what you should be eating and when. Eat at least five times a day and keep track of your daily calorie intake. Use a spreadsheet, a simple notebook or even a post-its at the top of your kitchen cabinet. If you find yourself gaining weight, you may need to eat more often. Use a food journal to track your food habits and identify what meals work best with your eating schedule.

Eating healthy does not have to mean boring bland food. Instead, experiment with different textures, flavors and combinations. For instance, did you know that baked beans can add volume to your weight loss plan? Try substituting rice or pasta for the bean spot. You can also spruce up a favourite recipe by changing the ingredients or adding more variety.

Cravings. Do you feel like you're going to eat something when you see a new cupcake or chocolate cake at the supermarket? Weight loss success is more about discipline than cheating. So resist the urge to buy non healthy foods you don't need. If you must buy something, choose a healthy item that will make it easy for you to lose weight. But without putting extra strain on your diet regime. To please cravings between meals, try a protein drink instead of an energy drink. Remember, your body needs food to function, not energy.

Exercise. If you're serious about a healthy weight loss, you need to incorporate exercise in your routine. Find a low-impact, cardiovascular-based exercise that you enjoy and perform it. If you haven't been active, start with a thirty-minute walk a day or go jogging with your friends. If you prefer sports, sign up for a tennis or golf fitness class. As your activity level increases, you can increase the intensity of your exercise. And this will add weight loss results as you become more fit.
