With modern computers and the advent of the internet dieters are spoilt for choice
with the amount of information there is available for them to succeed in their diets.
With a little imagination you can turn your computer into a "weight loss machine"
that will help you reach your dieting goals.
The first thing I would encourage any dieter to do would be to join one of the free diet internet forums.
Just Google: "diet forums" and you will be surprised at how many there are to choose from.
Find one with plenty of members. There is an abundance of information on these forums. If you scroll down the different topics you will probably find several that interest you.
You can also sign up for dieting tips on these forums if you wish, that can help to motivate you.
Next do another search for some free diet software.
This will help you to get a good idea of how many calories there are in different foods. For example, you could consume a whole lettuce (just 50 calories) and this would be equivalent to one chocolate worth bearing in mind!
The next thing to do is to search online for a free diet planner. This will help you to plan what you are going to eat each day.
You can use this in conjunction with your diet software. Find foods that are not too high in calories so that you can lose weight over a period of time.
If you search for diet recipes this can give you plenty of ideas.
Remember to save all of the sites that you want to visit again in your "favourites" so you can easily find them again.
If you want to read books on dieting, a good place to look would be Amazon. What I like about this site is the fact that you can see what other people think of a book before you purchase it by looking at the reviews.
Another great thing about Amazon, is that you now have the option to read part of the book online. This gives you a feel for it, and can help you decide before you purchase it.
Still using the internet you can buy some fitness videos to help you burn some extra calories. You can have them delivered to your house or often download them and use them straight away.
You can also order fitness mats and other exercise equipment and once again look at reviews from customers to give you an idea of what will be suitable for you.
