Weight loss isn't complicated. If you're overweight, you've been taking in more calories than the energy you're expending, and storing the calorie excess as fat.

To lose the weight, just eat fewer calories, and slowly but surely, you'll slim down.

There's no need to look for a complex diet. For example, Fat Loss 4 Idiots is a simple, successful plan which works.

Here are some quick weight loss ideas:

* Eat cereal for breakfast - oatmeal will fill you up, and give you energy until it's time for lunch;

* Cut your portion sizes. At restaurants, choose from the entrees, and at home, use a smaller plate. Fill up with green salad;

* Drink water or green tea rather than soda - both are appetite suppressants;

* Schedule some fun exercise. Go bowling or swimming with friends at least twice a week. Get a gym membership, or buy fitness balls and other exercise equipment that you can use at home;

* Take a yoga class. When you practice yoga, you'll become more aware of your body, and this awareness will help you to sense which foods you should eat. People who practice yoga find that they naturally eat healthier foods, without trying. It just feels better;

* Weigh yourself once a week, not daily. Weight fluctuates as you lose and retain water. A weekly weigh in is fine. Even better is buying a dress or jeans a couple of sizes smaller than you are right now. Before you know it, you'll have slimmed down and will look great in your new outfit.
