It can be frustrating to find out which programs work from those that don't. You also have to be on the lookout for weight loss programs that seem too good to be true.

How can you tell which weight loss programs work? By looking for a comprehensive and detailed plan within the weight loss program. This article will reveal to you important tips on how you could succeed in losing weight.

1) Write up a weight loss plan

The first thing you need to do before embarking on your weight loss goal is to write up a detailed plan consisting of a goal of how much weight you want to lose, a deadline to reinforce the urgency to get things done, a list of exercises to use, what days you'll workout and which foods to eat. This may seem a lot but take note that the more specific your goal is, the better your success rate.

2) Take action on your weight loss plan

It's one thing to write up a detailed weight loss plan but it's another thing when you take action on it. Procrastination is your worst enemy when it comes to losing weight and NOW is your time to take a stand on it. I want you to take action immediately after you've read this article to once and for all take control of your weight loss goal.

3) Use High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)

For those who want a more effective workout, I suggest you do High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) as opposed to steady state cardio whereby it seems as if one can jog on the treadmill for hours at a time.

HIIT offers more benefits than steady state cardio including a more effective workout in under 30 minutes, a raised metabolism as a result of the Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC) and a greater number of calories burned for a whole 24 hours after the workout. HIIT works by alternating sprinting with walking for a number of sets. An example of HIIT is shown below:

1st set - 30 seconds sprinting, 60 seconds walking

2nd set - 30 seconds sprinting, 60 seconds walking

3rd set - 30 seconds sprinting, 60 seconds walking

4th set - 30 seconds sprinting, 60 seconds walking

4) Consume moderate carbohydrate, high protein foods

Many people who start a weight loss program often go on a low fat, high carbohydrate diet. The problem with this diet is you often feel hungry throughout the day and this in turn makes you believe that to successfully lose weight you have to feel hungry. If you have this mindset you'll lower your chances of successfully losing weight.

How can we fix this problem? By consuming foods high in protein and lower in carbohydrates. Protein makes you fuller for longer whereas carbohydrates spike your insulin levels resulting in an energy drop and tiredness you often feel after consuming a heavy meal high in carbohydrates.

But not all carbohydrates are bad for you, carbohydrates that have a low Glycaemic Index level are beneficial in that they release energy slowly. Low GI foods include brown rice, wholegrain bread, semolina pasta and rolled oats. Protein foods you should consume include chicken, beef, salmon and turkey. Make sure to eat smaller meals throughout the day to elevate your metabolism.
