Dieting is not easy. SUCCESS TIP NO. 1: DRINK 8-10 GLASSES OF WATER EACH DAY
Water doesn't taste all that great generally because water doesn't really "taste" like anything. Drinking water 8 to 10 times each day gets easier the more you actually do it. To begin with, you should drink a glass of water in the morning first thing, before you eat. This is probably the easiest glass you will drink all day and it will help you remember to drink water all day long. If you really cannot bear the taste of water, try using a water purifying pitcher or filter. Ice also helps.
Check out flavored waters on the market, too. SUCCESS TIP NO. 2: EAT BREAKFAST
Do not skip breakfast. Eating breakfast is not only good for overall weight loss, it will help you stay on track with your diet the rest of the day. If you plan to eat fruit at all during the day, breakfast is the perfect time to do it. SUCCESS TIP NO. 3: EAT AT LEAST 3 MEALS AND 2 SNACKS EACH DAY
Just like eating breakfast will increase your metabolism, so will eating more often.

Remember, if you are only eating 40 grams of carb a day or less, two cups of plain salad greens contain only about 5 grams of carbohydrate. You have no excuse not to eat your veggies.
