Fiber. You need adequate fiber in your diet for weight loss. Fiber keeps you fuller for longer and absorbs calories (about 90 cals per day). When choosing foods, check the fiber content and choose the ones with more fiber. If you still need fiber to reach your daily 30 grams, just use a supplement. You don't have to drink it. You can use fiber capsules like glucomannan or psyllium.
Walk. You don't have to jog or run on the elliptical machine in order to lose weight. Plain old walking is just as effective as anything. Begin walking one mile per day. It should be in addition to the walking that you already normally do during the day.
Limit snacks after dinner. If you normally snack after dinner, it's likely contributing to your weight problem. Stop snacking after dinner. Brush your teeth immediately if you have to.
Limit alcohol consumption. Your body doesn't need those extra calories on a weekly basis. If you must drink, opt for a lower calorie choice and do not over do it.
Green tea. Drink green tea with your meals. It's healthy in so many ways. It can help you lose weight through thermogenics. Green tea speeds up your metabolism slightly, whereas a coke would just add calories and do nothing for your metabolism.
If a female who is 160 lbs, 5'4", in her 30s, and eats normally each day follows these guidelines, she can expect to lose about 3-4 lbs per month. This is a healthy and sustainable weight loss with not much change to your normal daily habits.
