Fast-Tracking Your Weight Loss

Feeling impatient? If you step on the scale each day and the numbers aren't moving fast enough for you, there are a few things you can do to speed up your weight loss.

Your best bet is to fit some exercise into your day, if you haven't already done so. Even a minimum amount of physical activity — walking a half hour a day, for example — will help you burn more calories. Also, try choosing vegetables only from Tier 1, and fruits only from Tier 2.

Here's another tactic: Don't fill your plate all the way to the edges. Just that slight decrease in portion size will pay off over time.
