If you're on The Biggest Loser diet, it can be tough staying focused on your long term goals and weight loss.

1. Here are 5 tips that will help you keep shedding the pounds.

Eat your high calorie foods early in the day. By eating your high calorie foods early in the day, you can burn those calories throughout the day. Eating high calorie foods late in the day means you may go to bed with calories stored up and building fat.

Have your high calorie foods for breakfast. Not only will you probably burn the calories during the day, but the food will give your metabolism a boost and get you off to a good start.

2. Eat smaller portions more often instead of big meals.

By eating smaller portions throughout the day, you're giving your body feul and you're less likely to get those cravings and hunger pains. If you're active at all, and you should if your goal is to lose weight, your body needs fuel to burn when working out. Smaller portions several times a day gives your body the fuel it needs to work out and burn calories. Crazy I know, but it works!

3. Eat the low calorie foods on your plate first.

By eating low calorie foods first, you're more likely to become full before you get to the high calorie foods. Have your low calorie protein first, followed by the higher calorie starches and carbs. Protein makes your stomach feel full while starches can leave you hungry for more.

4. Water, Water and More Water

Not only does water increase your metabolism, it also helps flush out toxins and fat from your system. Plus, when drank before meals, it can make you feel fuller quicker.

Whether you're dieting or not, you should drink lots of water throughout the day. Water is also beneficial to you skin, keeping it smooth and hydrated and less likely to show stretch marks.

5. When eating out, split an order

Whenever you go out and eat, plan on splitting your order. Ask for a "doggy bag" right off the bat. When your order comes, split the order first or at least the high calorie food, and put it in the doggy container. This way you're less likely to splurge plus you can savor the meal long after you've left.

Once you've finished, ask the Waiter/Waitress to remove all food and plates. Too many times you'll be tempted to "snack" around on leftovers.

These weight loss tips will help you maintain your weight loss while not making you feel hungry. Just make sure you get into a routine using the above tips and the hunger pains and cravings should be minimal.
