Feeling stressed out about losing weight? Don't despair, it can take time, patience, and hard work to see the results of your labors. Before you toss in the towel and think you simply can't lose any weight, consider these pieces of expert weight loss advice to guide you on your journey to a better and healthier you.

  • Don't let go of your goals, even if you get discouraged. Decided to cheat a little bit and eat something you shouldn't have? Don't let the day be a total loss. Go for a walk instead so you can feel like you haven't strayed too far from your journey. Take care of yourself as best you can, and put your health and well-being first among everything else. Help yourself achieve your goals, and don't get down on yourself if you slip now and again.

  • Use an app like MyFitnessPal to help you keep track of your calorie intake. As you lose weight, you may find yourself needing fewer calories. Keeping up with what your body needs to run can help you achieve results. Keep track of the numbers and meet your body's needs as they change.

  • Protein is such an important part of the weight loss journey. Getting enough healthy proteins can help you burn fat and retain muscle, and it gives you the energy and fuel you need to get through your workouts. Add chicken, nuts, eggs, Greek yogurt, and beans to your everyday diet.

  • Do it for the right reasons, and don't expect a miracle in mere weeks. If you're pushing yourself just to lose weight, that's not a healthy long-term goal. Focus on your life as a whole and changing your lifestyle to be healthy, not just dieting to reach a number on the scale. If you change your lifestyle, add exercise, and eat healthier, you will see results.

  • Stay hydrated. One of the most important keys to good health and weight loss is drinking plenty of water. Energy drinks are fine now and then, but some contain empty calories and sugar. Water is your best bet to stay hydrated and get slim.

  • Cut foods high in saturated fats and monitor your fat calories, even the healthy ones in protein and cheese. Choose lean, light versions to maintain low-calorie numbers.
