Want to lose weight? 

There are plenty of weight loss trends that claim to work. We have broken losing weight and becoming healthier down into 6 easy steps. 

1. Eat protein, fat, vegetables, and carbs. Below is the estimated daily intake. 
2. Exercise. This includes weight training and cardio. 
3. Eat more fiber. Fiber aids in stabilizing blood sugars and preventing chronic illness.
4. Eat mindfully. Eat slower, curb cravings and "bored" eating, and cook colorful foods to make meals more enjoyable.
5. Stay hydrated. Drinking water helps reduce food intake and increases fat burning.
6. Sleep at least 8 hours a night. Not getting enough sleep is linked to obesity and can negatively affect hormone levels. 

If you are looking for a tailored diet, work with your primary care physician or nutritionist.
