1. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Actually this can apply to doing anything you can to walk more everyday. Park in the spot furthest away from the store at the mall. Walk that couple of blocks to your friends instead of driving. You get the idea.

2. The hidden key to losing all that body fat around your waist is to get rid of one key ingredient - sugar. Plain old sugar is the leading cause of abdominal fat. Your belly fat is the result of blood sugar spikes and insulin sensitivity reactions that inevitably cause sugar to be stored as body fat after it is digested. So ct out the sugar as much as possible.

3. The key for a flat stomach is eating sensibly. While this doesn't seem like a secret at all, most women and men get this wrong in spite of their best - but misguided - efforts. Most people have fallen prey to low-fat, low-carb, Hollywood and every other over hyped diet that marketers can dream up, all in hopes of shedding those unwanted pounds. But eating sensibly is - isn't about dieting or deprivation; it's about moderation and balance. While cutting carbs or fats out of your nutrition plan might give you a temporary loss of a couple of pounds, it's typically followed by a drop in metabolism and a weight gain of more than you lost in the first place once you go back to your old eating habits. So what is eating sensibly? Eating sensibly is having protein and carbohydrates at every meal. It's grazing on 4-6 meals or snack each day instead of missing meals and then gorging yourself. It's enjoying a healthy breakfast and not drinking your calories. But most of all, eating supportively is enjoying the foods you love in moderation instead of in excess.

4. Don't start a crash diet. This works against you. You might lose a good bit of weight initially but your body goes into a starvation mode. The moment you start eating a little more, the fat rapidly starts to come back.

5. Don't be obsessed with the scale. Start with some exercise and slowly ramp it up, cut a few calories, and pull out the tape measure once a month to check on your progress.

This is how to lose weight fast - eat to live; enjoy healthy food with regular exercise is the best way to lose weight fast.
