At some point you may have found out about the latest hot tip for weight loss, only to discover it just didn't work.

Hopefully it won't have cost you money to learn the lesson, but for many it does.

This article has been written with the aim of summarising the very best, most effective, quick weight loss tips - and collecting them in one convenient location to save you serious time and effort.

Think of weight loss as being like a jigsaw puzzle.

There are small pieces to the puzzle, and there are bigger, more major pieces but they ALL contribute to completing the perfect picture!

That's pretty much what the tips provided here do - they ALL piece together to help create the very best environment for fat loss.

Before getting stuck into the nitty gritty of my quick weight loss tips, it's important to recognise that any old weight loss is NOT what you should strive for!

When talking about weight loss, the TYPE of weight you should be aiming to loose is that of FAT.

At the same time, you should be aiming to preserve as much of your valuable muscle mass as possible, after all, it's the presence of your muscle that helps get that nice toned look and keeps your metabolic rate high.

Now that we have cleared that up, let's progress with my top quick weight loss tips!

1) The most important of all of the quick weight loss tips listed is to consume less calories than you expend.
You WILL NOT lose weight unless you are achieving a calorie deficit. Losing weight is as simple as that. You MUST eat less calories than you consume.

2) Increase your physical activity levels.
If we become more physically active we burn more calories, and of course, the more calories burned, the greater the chance that fat loss will occur.

Quick and easy ways of doing this include taking the stairs instead of lifts or walking in your lunch break. Anything that gets you up and moving will add to your calorie expenditure!

3) Drink at least 2 litres of COLD water over the course of the day.
Each time cold water is consumed our body has to work harder to heat up the water to match our body's internal temperature; this requires energy, which in turn means extra calories burned.

4) Eat when you are hungry.
You have no doubt heard that you should eat small meals regularly to stop your metabolic rate from declining. In reality our metabolic rate is more resilient that it's given credit for by the diet industry.

This study showed that short term fasting for up to 4 days had no significant negative effect on metabolic rate.

When trying to lose weight there is a danger in eating every couple of hours just because the diet industry says you should! The study listed above shows otherwise.

I urge my clients to only eat when necessary and pay attention to the difference between eating through hunger and eating through habit.

5) Limit your Salt Intake.
Eating too much salt can have a huge effect on the way your body looks and feels!

When consumed in excess, salt has the tendency to cause the body to hold more water. This has the effect of increasing bloating and water retention adding to your body's total weight.

6) Increase the amount of fibre in your diet.
By consuming more fibre you will feel fuller for longer and make the dieting process that little bit more bearable!

7) Add Chilli to your food. (Providing you don't suffer from health conditions such as ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome and so on).
It is the capsicum content in chilli's that produce the heat when you eat them and have been shown to temporarily INCREASE your metabolism in the hours after the food has been consumed - meaning more calories burned!

8) Drink your Milk!
Research in recent years has indicated that individuals consuming 1000mg of calcium per day from low fat/no fat milk (as part of a calorie controlled diet) display increased fat loss when compared to those who do not include milk.
