The Hardest Part of Dieting? Losing Those Last 10 Pounds

Unless you are a super motivated individual, you might want to hire a personal trainer to guide you through your weight loss process and help monitor the progress.

Fitness experts say that working out in the gym won't do the trick. In other words, you won't fit into that magical number jean size you've always wanted or minimize a 'problem' area by spending an hour a day on a treadmill. Losing weight and getting a toned body is a process and a proper diet and exercise is the key to getting into that hot little black dress.

Here are ten tips experts offer on how to get there faster.

1. Never skip meals, especially breakfast. By jump starting your metabolism, you help your body burn fat faster.

2. Log your food. That will make you aware your eating habits. You will surprised how much more you actually consume once you look at your logs.

3. Go back through your diet journal to see how you can make better choices. Just making some small changes can help you shed those last 10 pounds quickly.

4. Eat every 3 hours.

5. By eating small meals 5 - 6 times per day, you'll stabilze your blood sugar, maximize your energy and feel fuller, longer.

6. Eat foods that will optimize your metabolism like high fiber foods, low fat foods, and lean proteins.

7. Eat your carbs early in the day so your body gets a chance to burn them.

8. Make working out a priority.

9. Take a "before" picture of yourself and put it in a visible place. Having that 'before' photo is a huge motivation to stick to your plan.

10. Just do it!

Unless you are a super motivated individual, you will want to hire a personal trainer to guide you through your weight loss process and help monitor the progress. Make sure your trainer creates a nutriton plan that optimizes high quality, natural foods, not pre-packaged or frozen meals.

Having an expert to navigate the diet and exercise landscape can make the difference between baring your shoulders at your high school reunion or not making it, and faking a cold.
