Rules #5-#8 of Fat Loss

#5 Eat whole natural foods as much as possible.
To make this as simple as possible if a caveman couldn't eat it, neither should you. So fruits and veggies good, breads and cookies bad. Lean meat good, Double Stacks bad! Nuts and beans good, hostess coffee cakes Bad. Easy enough?

#6 Take a multivitamin and Omega 3 Supplement
A multivitamin just ensures that you are getting all the vitamins and nutrients that you need on a daily basis. It's very difficult to get all these vitamins and nutrients from food alone and that is wear the multivitamin comes into play. Make sure the multivitamin is a quality one, you will get what you pay for. I firmly believe that Centrum, costco, walgreens, and wal mart are all awful multivitamins. So don't take them.
Omega 3s have been huge in recent years as a great "bang for your buck" supplement. It is a very easy way to get good fats at every meal, which is RULE #3 They do so many different things from weight loss, to cholesterol control, to joint and inflmation reduction. Just take the damn things. You can be a little cheaper with these, so walgreens or walmart brands are okay. To reduce the fish burps take them with a full meal. 1-4 pills a day will do wonders for your body.

#7 Keep a food Journal
Weigh, weigh, weigh. Weigh your food, stop guestimating. You have been doing that for the last _____ years, and look where it has gotten you. Unless you can be 100% sure of how much food you are eating, you will never know what kind of defecit you are putting your body into. You don't have to do it forever, but 2-4 weeks will do wonders for your weight loss. Once you weigh your food write it down in a journal on a daily basis and proceed to Rule #8.

#8 Track your calories with calorieking.com
Take your food journal, type your foods you have eaten into calorieking.com and get an idea of how many calories you take in on a daily basis, you should also track the amount of proteins, carbs, and fats you eat everyday as well. Typically a 50% carb, 30% protein, and 20% fat diet will do really well to start your fat loss program.
