Did you know that the number one New Year's resolution is to lose weight? People are desperately seeking to lose weight and keep it off. The sad truth is that most people don't accomplish their resolve because the task is too great and give up after only months, if that. Don't get discouraged.

Weight loss does not have to be a difficult task. If you keep the end in mind, losing weight and keeping it off can be quite simple in fact. Here are 10 tips to assist in this process.

Tip #1: Baby Steps! Stay focused. Make little changes every step of the way. To achieve your goal of losing weight it takes a full lifestyle transformation and not only a diet change. This is an overwhelming process for many people and it's better if you don't bite off more than you can chew. (no pun intended) Stick to baby steps (one step at a time). Maybe just try going to the gym for a few months instead of joining for an entire year or even just jog around the block for 30 minutes at a time for a few times a week. Then when you get that down and make it habitual it will become part of your lifestyle.

Tip #2: Eat 100% organic, virgin, and unrefined coconut oil. There is research which supports this as an aid in weight loss.

Tip #3: Ever heard of an apple a day will keep the doctor away? Well, I not sure if that's completely accurate. But eating apples everyday (and I'm talking about organic apples) helps decrease appetite and stabilize blood sugar. So eat at least one apple per day.

Tip #4: Fast food is a dietary no-no! Just don't eat it. They are jam packed full of harmful fats, preservatives, and other chemicals that are not only fattening but hazardous to your health. If you do decide to go out to eat, try going to a restaurant and when you're there don't over-indulge. Get yourself a large salad, a baked potato, and broiled meats instead of fried foods.

Tip #5: Do a liver cleanse. Did you know you could have a clogged liver? Did you also know if your liver is clogged it may not being working up to par? If you were to go to a local health food store they would have products that will cleanse your liver.

Tip #6: Use organic apple cider vinegar. Apple cider vinegar helps to eliminate fat cells from the body. Take a few teaspoons prior to each meal. Apple cider vinegar can be found in health food stores.

Tip #7: Hot Peppers are good for your body! Who knew? By adding hot pepper to food it can help speed up your metabolism. It is amazing what something hot and spicy can do for the metabolism. Hot peppers can even help the body burn fat better! But if you eat salsa try to make it organic hot salsa. It's much better for you.

Tip #8: Instead of most people's abnormally large meals, for lunch and dinner try eating a large organic salads instead. Organic! That's what makes this work. So with all possibility try to make it organic. When you eat salad and you must have dressing try to only use organic olive oil, organic vinegar, and fresh organic lemon juice.

Tip #9: Always remember that sugars and enriched products with no organic and whole grain don't have any nutritional value! Enriched products are flour, white rice, white bread, and pasta that is not organic or whole grain.

Tip #10: Stay positive! Don't say "I'm going to try to lose weight". Instead proclaim: "I'm going to lose weight and feel great." Be committed to staying on course and making those necessary lifestyle and dietary changes. With this mindset, you can't help but be successful.

Weight loss doesn't need to be difficult or overwhelming. Try to commit to at least a few of the steps above and expect to lose weight and feel great!
