Allow me to go out on a short limb here and say: dieting works . . . at least in the short term. But you can improve the effectiveness of many weight loss plans and improve your long-term odds of success by implementing a few easy diet additions.

Over the years, I've compiled a lengthy list of easy lifestyle modifications that combine to form a long-term, practical approach to dieting. Add a few of these habits to your current routine individually until they become habit. In a short while, you'll notice better, more lasting results if you are able to absorb these changes. Plus, they'll help kick-start any diet designed to help you loose weight fast.

Ice cold water: drink an ice-cold glass of water (make it at least a pint) first thing in the morning and before each meal. Your body will be forced to raise the water to your body temperature, burning a few extra calories in the process. Additionally, it will make you feel more full when you eat and help keep you properly hydrated.

Add negative calorie foods: there are a handful of foods out there that require more energy to burn than are contained within the foods themselves; i.e. they have a net negative caloric impact. Try adding asparagus, broccoli, beets, blueberries, radishes, cucumbers, tomatoes, strawberries, and similar foods.

Evening lockdown: don't eat for at least two hours before bedtime. Preferably, make your final "meal" of the day a light salad to tide you over until bedtime. There's no sense feeding your body calories that will not be burned efficiently as your metabolism slows (especially true in the winter time).

Drop your cardio: you are probably aware that you burn calories every minute that you exercise. But when you stop, your metabolism quickly returns to normal. Combat this by engaging in interval training instead of cardio. Interval training can be completed in 15 to 20 minutes and will boost your metabolism for a full 24 hours. Just make sure you exercise. Muscle burns calories, so build muscle to help achieve quick diet loss.

Eat more beans: beans are wonderful diet foods that many avoid because of their high carbohydrate count. But they are also very high in fiber, high in protein, and produce a negligible short term impact on blood sugar!

3:1 deficit-to-normal ratio: after three days at a caloric deficit, add a normal day. If you're dieting at a 30 percent deficit for 3 days (e.g. 2400 calorie diet dropping to 1650 calories), make the fourth day a 10 percent deficit. That is, in this example, give yourself an extra 510 calories on every fourth day. This will keep your body guessing.

Remember, for maximum effectiveness, add these habits into your existing diet plan if you want to loose weight quick. When you stop dieting, retain these changes for the long-term to help you keep off the weight it took so much effort to lose. It's always easier to maintain than to lose!
