By Stephanie Boyle



Here's 10 more weight loss tips for Atkins plan followers and can be modified for other weight loss plans as well. Keep the tips coming...



#30. A very important tip is to make sure you discuss your weight loss plan with your physician to make sure they think that is the best thing for you to do.

#31. Buy foods that are pre packaged, pre cooked and pre washed, that way everything is ready for you and will be easy if you're hungry to make a quick, healthy meal.

#32. Don't use coffee or tea as part of your water intake for the day. They are great diurectics but only to be used above and beyond your eight glasses of water per day.

#33. Drink water throughout the day, make sure you don't wind up thirsty because by the time you're thirsty you are already dehydrated.

#34. To keep herbs fresh longer, rinse them and lightly wrap them in paper towels, put them in plastic bags and refrigerate. This makes them last much longer.

#35. Shop the perimeter of the store where the healthier foods tend to be, normally the junk foods and processed foods are what fills up the middle aisles.



#36. In general the smaller the vegetable the better the flavor and the more nutrients are still in it in full force.

#37. Some airlines will offer controlled carb options, if not order a kosher meal or a salad with protein. Most airlines will accomodate your requests.

#38. Variety in your diet ensures more nutrients, try to accomodate 10 different kinds of foods in your diet daily.

#39. Swap recipes with other people who are controlling their carb intake as well, you can find some great recipes just through word or mouth.

#40. Don't weigh in more than twice weekly, weight fluctuates on a day to day basis so weighing yourself daily may only bring you down as opposed to bring your weight down.
