Growing fat is easy for some people, but losing weight is really hard. Many people give up losing weight because it is a really tough job. After talking with some of the people who has successfully lost weight, I found that most of them have some factors in common that they all obey the science of success. I summarized them as following 5 tips:

• The stronger desire you have the better result you will gain
• Right direction is half the battle
• Appropriate plan can multiple your effect
• Proper diet helps you hit the goal
• Persevere and then Success

1. The stronger desire you have the better result you will gain

Desire is the precondition of success. Desire is different from wish. Wish is nothing but only to wish. But the burning desire can translate your wish to action or drive you to take action.
A strong desire is an essential requirement for success. History has proven this:

• The strong desire the Wright Brothers had to invent a machine that could fly was proof of its possibility.
• The desire of man to land on the moon was proof that it could happen.

The stronger desire you have the stronger energy you will generate to take action. Before you scrolling down to the next tip, please ask yourself: "How strong do I desire to lose weight?"

2. Right direction is half the battle

OK, now you have a strong desire of losing weight then begin to take action to do physical activities. But wait, do you know what to do and how to do? What? OK, I think you have to read the rest of this article. If you don't know what ingredients you need to make a cookie then how would you make the cookie? If you simply following your mind or someone else's brief introduction, then you might gain only a little effect or even take the wrong direction. Think of what if you travel in the Amazon forest without any guide or map/compass. Regarding this, you need a coach who can guide you with the right direction.

3. Appropriate plan can multiple your effect

Now you've got the ingredients of making the cookie, but if you don't know what the sequence of operation to make it, you may eventually get a "kiecoo" which tastes much different to a cookie. In order to achieve the goal, you need to plan how many steps you need, what you need to do in each step and how long of each step. A good plan can make things go smoothly while a bad plan can make things go mess. A good workout plan/schedule makes you feel good and not feel tired or exhausted all the time. The result is that you will love it and will never give up the weight loss process. How can you abandon the things you love?

4. Proper diet helps you hit the goal

Human needs foods. It's good that foods give us energy and nutrition, but foods also cause disease if our diet is not proper. Many of the diseases, such as Malnutrition, Cardiovascular disease and Overweight, are caused by poor diet.
By saying losing weight, you have to burn more calories than you take. Does that mean if you want to keep your diet then you need to do many hard exercises or take less food than before? I would say it is not exactly the case. Simply add activity or reduce food are not entirely useful. You need to design a good diet plan for each stage in your whole process.
Calorie limitation is a must but it depends on how much exercise you do. Basically you need to take fewer calories than you burn. On the other hand, you necessarily need enough protein, vitamin and mineral to keep your body in good condition.

5. Persevere and then Success.

Is that all? No! Answer the following 2 questions first:

1. Can Bill Gates build his empire on software in only several years?
2. Can Buffett build his empire on investment in several years?

As you know, the answer to both questions is NO! Why I asking these 2 questions is not telling you that you need several years to lose weight. I am telling you that no-one can gain success in a short time. By keeping practicing the previous tips for a period, you will see you body is changing. But is that all? No! Do Bill Gates and Buffett achieve their goals then stop? No! They must keep try hard to keep their empire. The same logic, after you achieve the goal that satisfies you, you still need to keep practicing from time to time to keep fit.
