The formula for losing weight is simple: eat less and exercise more. But, it's not really all that simple, is it?Long-term weight loss isn't impossible, but you do have to be committed. Having a weight loss plan for your success is a good start. Here are ten items that should go into your weight loss plan.1. Eat breakfast.

Stock your refrigerator and pantry with healthy foods and snacks and limit high-fat, high-salt snacks such as potato chips and cookies.3. Fill up on Fiber.

There is no such thing as instant weight loss, and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved any diet patch for weight loss. Diet patches are particularly tricky. The manufacturers claim that they can suppress appetite and control metabolism when they are worn on the skin a farfetched, if not ludicrous theory altogether. So ineffective and unsafe are diet patches that the FDA has already seized millions of these products from manufacturers and promoters. Most diet patches claim to have no side effects because the chemicals used are all herbal. The FDA has banned more than a hundred ingredients once found in over-the-counter diet products and some diet patches may very well still contain them. Even if claims that diet patches use only natural herbal medicines, the question stills remains do these herbal medicines work? There have been no clinical studies that have proven they do. Manufacturers could simply be stealing peoples money. This is why the Federal Trade Commission and some state...more
