Hollywood's awards season has started in full force and some of us may envy the fit and trim celebrities. Some of us wonder how to lose weight fast and are tempted by trendy "Hollywood" diets, especially since they often promise quick results with little effort. The ladies may look glamorous and slender in their gowns as they walk along the "Red Carpet," but who knows whether their diets are actually healthy or effective for long-term weight loss.

Enjoying a healthy, low-carb, and filling breakfast while you're losing weight sounds like a great way to start the day. Of course, there are going to be mornings when you may not have the time to prepare one, so you may be tempted to grab a quick, but much less nutritious, breakfast on the go. This egg white omelet with tomatoes recipe is just right for you, whether you're short on time or you just feel like fixing an easy dish.

Although winter in the southern states tends to be milder than winter in the northern states, we all have unpleasant weather days. Those days make it difficult, if not impossible, to enjoy a cardio workout outside. Luckily, there are plenty of convenient and effective indoor alternatives, no matter where you live or how the weather is. One great example is by exercising on a stationary bike. This is one way to accomplish a fun and effective cardio workout to help with your weight loss plan. Stationary bike workouts burn fat and calories, which can also help you lose weight fast. Even better, you don't even have to know how to ride an outdoor bike. You don't need to wear a helmet or worry about losing your balance. Just hop on a stationary bike and start pedaling away the pounds.

We often hear about the importance of eating plenty of fruits and vegetables every day as part of a healthy and nutritious diet. Fresh fruits contain essential vitamins, minerals and fiber. Indeed, you definitely need these, whether you are trying to lose weight or not. It is important to note that although fruits are beneficial, you must choose them carefully when you are losing weight. You must also be wary of eating too much fruit or mistakenly having too many fruit "products," which many people think are okay to have since they are nutritious. Fruit "products" such as dried fruits, fruit juices and smoothies can especially sabotage your weight loss efforts with their added sugars and calories and you should avoid them.
