Our daily lives are busy. We have so many things on our plates that we sometimes forget what we should be putting on our dinner plates to stay healthy! It's why people from every walk of life want to lose weight quickly. I have good news, though: shedding those pounds and keeping them off has never been easier. Here are some habits you can use every day to lose weight fast: 

It's in the title, folks! Something as simple as drinking water can actually help you trim down by increasing your metabolism and reducing your appetite---without the need for more exercise. Many studies have concluded that drinking a couple liters of water a day, in fact, will help you lose weight. Drink up.

The studies are in: eating food while distracted makes you eat more compared to people who eat without TV or music in the background. It's a bummer, but at least you know that you can party with peace of mind after your tummy is full. 

By eating a high-protein breakfast, you'll feel satisfied for much longer, which means less temptation to eat a lunch that's high in fat and carbohydrates. Speaking of carbs, though: a study found that men who ate a high-protein breakfast were less hungry than when they had one with lots of carbohydrates. Skip the muffin! 

Not only will you save your wallet from the cobwebs it'll accumulate by eating out a lot, but you'll lose weight, too. By cooking a majority of your meals at home, you'll be in control of the nutrition you put in your body, which makes it easier to follow a routine that will get you in shape. Eating high protein, low-fat meals has never been easier. 

Hunger hormones rear their weight-gaining heads if you get less than seven hours of sleep, so you should be aiming to get a full seven to nine hours of sleep. Plus, you'll be setting yourself up for more carb and fat cravings if you don't. 

It may seem excessive--or even boring--at first, but studies show that keeping track of your nutrition every day will help you lose weight. People who keep a food journal have been shown to lose more weight than those who don't.Plus, if you have muscle building goals at the gym, keeping track of your protein, carb, and fat intake will help you succeed and go further. It's as simple as downloading an app! 

Losing weight has never been easier--or quicker. By using these six simple habits daily, you will shed those unwanted pounds in a snap and stick to your fitness routine for years to come.
