Is your life super hectic but you still want to lose weight right now, anyway? Maybe the thought of a formal diet plan seems overwhelming to you, or you don't have the dedicated energy to start one right now.
The good news is that you don't need to follow a strict plan to get started on your weight loss.
Here are some proven top weight-loss tips that can help you lose weight right away, and then if you decide to go onto a diet plan later, you've got a running start already! These are our top 7 tips for losing weight without dieting that can be integrated into your day to day life:

1. Top Foods - Focus on eating fresh foods such as fresh veggies, fruits, nuts, whole grains, and nuts, with fish and other lean proteins in reasonable portion sizes.
   Stay away from processed foods when you can, including white bread and empty calories.
   Keep an eye on the meats, as they are difficult to digest, and the newest research shows that we don't need a ton of protein, as originally was thought.
   Finally, keep most of your carbohydrates to the complex carbs, while eliminating as much sugar as you can
2. Choose the Best Drinks - Limit processed drinks such as coffee, sugary fruit drinks, sweetened and sugar-free soda, energy drinks and alcohol.
   Instead, drink a minimum of ½ gallon per day.
   Other healthy additions to water are green tea, seltzer water with lemon or fruit, and fresh vegetable juice.
   For alcohol, an occasional glass of wine is fine but keep it to 2-3 glasses per week if you can.
   
3. A Word About Fats - Cook your food with a small amount of healthy fats such as coconut oil and olive oil, which will also help keep a healthy heart.
   Flax oil is another good choice, and when mixed with vinegar or lemon, it makes a great salad dressing.
   Avoid all trans fats and hydrogenated oils when you can.
   
4. Limit Dairy Intake - Despite all the good press that the American Dairy Association puts out there, experts agree that you should eliminate most full-fat dairy products, keeping dairy intake to the lower fat choices.
   Balance out dairy with heart healthy almond or rice milk, as well as some soy products.
   
5. Breakfast of Champions - Kick your metabolism off to a good start by eating a healthy breakfast.
   Some good choices are: a protein drink with veggies or fruit in it, organic oatmeal, eggs, whole grain toast with some fruit, or yogurt sprinkled with a few nuts.
   
6. Eat Smaller Portions More Often - Keep your insulin levels even by fueling your metabolism steadily throughout the day.
   While you do this, eat smaller portions to aid in digestion, which helps you burn the calories for fuel, rather than storing it as fat on your hips.
   Keep protein portions to the size of your palm and complex carbs to the size of your fist.
   
7. Keep Moving! - While there are many intense workouts on the market, don't worry about going to extreme lengths.
   If you can walk for 20-30 minutes 3-5 times a week, this will support your health and your heart.
