With your LBI membership, you now have access to a large resource of weight loss tools, tactics and strategies that are all proven to work. Even better, we'll continually add new, cutting-edge information, new ideas, and refine and improve these concepts.

All you really need to do is browse the pages here, pick out some tactics and get started ... because they all work!

Even so, there's a lot here. To make things easier, this page organizes the various ideas in one place to help you wrap your mind around the purposes and uses of all the ideas.

It may seem a little overwhelming. We'll keep saying it, but just to remind you -- you don't have to do "everything" to lose weight or regain control over your weight. Consider this membership more like a weight loss toolbox you can pick and choose from, not an all-or-nothing program where you have to do it all to see results.

It's possible all you need is to combine a few important ideas that you are enthused about doing. You also have a lot of flexibility (see Flexible Weight Loss strategy).

The bottom line is that your personal weight loss prescription will be unique. It may require experimentation to get there, because we're all a little different. Some things will be more effective for you than others. You can create and combine multiple ideas.

Stalled or Problems?

If you are you currently on a diet or weight loss plan of some kind and are in a plateau or are having problems, see:

Flexible Weight Loss and Everyday Eating Plans

If you are aiming for a more flexible program for moderate weight loss or weight maintenance, everything else on this page can help. But we do have some plans and strategies created just for this purpose:

Weight Loss Without Changing What You Eat

Yes, it's true; you can lose weight without changing what you eat (without restricting or requiring certain foods). Instead, you change when you eat, how you eat, and other non-food factors. Intermittent Fasting (IF) is the most powerful among all the tactics listed here; it is based on when you eat, not what or how. But many others can be surprisingly effective for more gradual weight loss or weight maintenance, or could be "add-ons" to boost the results of any other strategy or tactic:

Easiest Weight Loss

What is "easy" entirely depends on the person, so this list will only be partially useful to you. At some point you should browse all the options here in your membership and figure out what tactics meet your ideal effort-to-reward ratio. You may be surprised at what turns out easy -- you won't know until you try!

That said, here are some concepts that relate to the concept of "easy" because they rely less on sheer willpower or tend to reduce the need for it in some way, or they are extremely simple -- yet still lead to weight loss.

Reframing, and various other psychological tactics

Again there are many other ideas not listed above that may turn out easy for you. So don't rule anything else out.

Possible Things to Avoid or Remove

For some people, the missing puzzle piece for finally losing weight (or avoiding gaining) is to avoid, eliminate, or reduce certain things. Sometimes you can lose weight simply by doing one or two "avoidance" strategies... and everything else you are doing remains the same! Keep in mind if you are making drastic changes, you could balance it out with strategies like Flex Meals and Occasional Indulgences, among others.

Emotional/Mindful Eating

Hunger Issues

It's important to understand the psychology of hunger and how to minimize or eliminate it so it doesn't derail your goals. Here are some links to important pages so they're easier to find:
