To keep your weight loss routine healthy and effective, avoid extreme or "crash" dieting. The ideal diet for healthy weight loss is a sustainable one. By their very natures, crash diets are short-term ordeals. Even though they may offer substantial short-term results, their long-term effect is negligible, or even harmful. It is better to develop a diet you can stick to over time - even permanently.
To help you reach your weight loss goals when starting out, you should make your goals reasonable. One to two pounds a week is what most people should aim to hit. A person should not try to aim for more than that because you want to be sure to take a healthy and safe route. Also aiming for a correct number will help you to succeed, not fail.

It is imperative to switch up your exercise routine every once in awhile. By sticking to the same routine over and over again, you may become bored and eventually unmotivated. For example, if you workout at the gym, try switching which machines you use. Try changing the amount of weight you lift.
Keep a food diary. Carry a notebook with you and write down everything that you eat and drink, and the time of day. You may begin to notice a pattern. Do you tend to snack during the late morning? This could be because you skipped breakfast. Do you fill up with snacks after dinner? You are probably snacking while watching tv, and aren't even aware exactly how much you are eating. By focussing on these patterns, you will be able to change your habits accordingly.
