146. Have Set Eating Times: Try to eat at the same time every day, including meals and snacks. Of course, this can ' t be accomplished every time but try it out. This way your body knows when to expect food, allowing you less time to graze on foods you shouldn ' t.
147. Watch One Less Hour of TV: A study of 76 undergraduate students found that the more TV they watched, the more often they ate and also overate. More than likely you have a show you don ' t really want to watch anyway. So go for a walk or do a home fitness program instead.
148. Sleep More: It ' s been found that sleep deprivation can make you fat. This is because of two things. One, you may actually snack more at night and two because less sleep means a slower metabolism. Meaning you burn less calories during the day. Research has shown that that poor sleep is one of the strongest risk factors for obesity, being linked to an 89 % increased risk of obesity in children, and 55 % in adults( Nih. gov). Make sure to sleep at least 6 hours, with 8 hours being optimal.
149. Don ' t Over Sleep! Yes, sleep is important to losing weight fast, however, sleeping too much can also cause trouble.

If you ' re a late sleeper and need to work on this, simply set your alarm 15 minutes earlier every day until you get used to your new wake up time.
150. You Are Now a NEW Creature: When you decide to lose weight, know that you will no longer have the same lifestyle as before. As you ' re losing weight, you will be creating a NEW and BETTER YOU.

152. Remember It ' s NOT All or Nothing: Of all the best weight loss tips, this is an important one to remember because we all feel like we need to be perfect but it ' s not true.
