When looking to lose 10 pounds, it's important to understand that your dietary habits are just that: habits. In other words, there's probably not only a lot of things that you eat that you don't give much thought to, but also a lot of ways that you east that you don't think about. By changing your dietary habits you will not only lose weight, but you will be able to keep that weight off.

Before you look at specific diets to lose 10 pounds, think about your eating routines. It's important to eat a wide variety of foods, and to eat in proportion. A sure sign that you need to incorporate more variety and balance into your diet is if you can only think of a few "standard meals" that you cook for yourself, or if you can only name a few vegetables that you like. Not only will adding more variety to your diet help you lose those ten pounds, it will provide you with an opportunity to expand the range of meals you can cook.

The other thing to consider when trying to lose ten pounds is your eating habits themselves. We all naturally fall into routines, and there's a good chance that you eat roughly the same amount of food at the same time every day. While this is convenient, it's not necessarily what your body desires.

Now, in some cases you're going to want to lose 10 pounds fairly quickly. If you find yourself in this position consider the following small dietary changes:

- Stop eating cream cheese: while you probably already know that cream cheese isn't healthy, you might not know that a toasted bagel can taste great without it.

- Remove Chicken Skin: A simple way to reduce fat is to get in the habit of removing the skin from chicken breasts. You'll find this easy to do by scraping a sharp knife perpendicularly across the surface of the breast.

- Skip Salted Peanuts: Peanuts are a great and filling snack when you're hungry, but try switching to the salt-free variety. You'll be surprised how quickly you get used to them - in fact you'll soon find salted peanuts unappetizing.

These are just some of the small changes you can make to your diet in order to lose 10 pounds. But Remember: if you want to keep the weight off, you'll have to make some of the more permanent dietary changes listed earlier as well.
