When people seeking to lose weight changing their eating habits, eating more fruit and vegetables and decreasing your fat intake isn't always enough.

The best diets incorporate a healthy balance of diet and exercise which work together to effectively assist your body to burn fat, boost your metabolism and feel stuffed for longer.

However, one of the biggest mistakes many slimmer's make when trying to lose weight is either eating too little - thus not giving their bodies enough energy to support the functionality of their bodies - or they exercise too little.

The next of the common mistakes with free diet plans is that they ask people to change all their dietary habits overnight. Now whilst this can be easy to follow to begin with, eventually this dramatic diet change will trigger cravings that can result in relapses.

To experience the best weight loss results, people need to make a number of changes to both their diet and their exercise regime. However, there are also a number of other techniques that can be incorporated, which can easily help them to experience the weight loss results they crave.

1.Eat a healthy diet of carbohydrates, protein, fibre, vitamins and fat

The trick to losing weight is to modify the diet slowly. Firstly, make sure you are following a healthy diet of 40% carbohydrates, 30% proteins and 30% fats before implementing the following techniques: slowly cut out high fat/unhealthy foods one at a time. If, for example, you normally eat chips four-time a week, begin by reducing your portions down by one meal every two weeks. Do this and by week 8 you will have naturally reduced your chip intake to once a week and eventually to none at all.

Remember, don't make food a sin. All nutrients are essential - even fats - the key is eating them in moderation. So transform your favourite foods into treats which you can have on special occasions. It will give you something to look forward to, and these occasional treats will also prevent cravings and binge eating.

2. Regular exercise

Another common mistake is that many slimmer's make is focusing on only one area of their body or following just one exercise routine. Weight training, in particular, is often overlooked in weight loss plans because of its body building implications; however, increasing more muscle within your body is the best way to increase your fat burn.

Studies have found the more muscle you have, the more fat burn you will see because surplus amounts of energy is needed to rebuild muscle after weight training.

However, weight training is not enough. It is also essential to incorporate cardio and aerobics into your weight loss programme as these will work other essential muscles in your body.

The best weight management programmes recommend the following:

• 20-30 minutes of weight training, 3 times a week

• Two 45 minute cardio workouts a week which are alternated with two 45 minute aerobic workouts.

If you are too tired or too busy to go to a cardio class in the evening, go for a walk during your lunch break instead or invest in an aerobics DVD.

3. Try natural slimming pills.

Many natural weight loss pills can be taken even after you have reached your ideal weight. It produced using organic ingredients, by simply modifying your capsule intake these diet pills can support your weight maintenance for as long as you need.
