How To Drop Those Pounds
Those people are are overweight or obese don't really diet, but put their energy toward working out and starting better eating habits, in accordance with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, emphasizing lowered fat consumption, and an increase in vegetables, fruits and whole grains. A great support mechanism of positive feedback and encourage from others can certainly boost your weight loss. For those serious of dieting, they should consider a diet plan.
Fad diets that ignore the principles of the Dietary Guidelines may result in short term weight loss, but may do so at the risk of your health. How you go about managing your weight has a lot to do with your long-term success. Unless your health is seriously at risk due to complications from being overweight or obese, gradual weight loss should be your rule — and your goal.
Here's how to do it:
-
Check with your doctor. Of course, you should have your health checked by a doctor before engaging upon a diet plan.
-
Go with eating less calories, but make sure you diet is still balanced, for loosing about two pounds per week. A diet including at least five servings of day of fruits and vegetables, which include whole grains, lean meat and low fat dairy. It may not produce headlines, but it can reduce waistlines. This isn't a miracle; rather, it's just common sense. Of course, this is the most prudent and healthy thing do to.
-
Don't use that excuse that you're too busy - find time to exercise. You can always start by climbing the stairs at work instead of riding the elevator, or parking at the far end of the lot instead of the closest. Then, assuming your doctor gives you the thumbs up, you can slowly add some form of regular daily exercise. Walking is a great exercise, since it's free and most people already do it.
-
Consider the benefits of moderate weight loss. The evidence is clear that, when loosing 5-10% of your extra body weight, really does product great health benefits. If you are 5 feet and 4 inches tall, and weigh in at 150 pounds, then loosing around 10% of your weight would be a good mark to aim for. When it comes to loosing weight the right way, take it slow and steady.
For many people who are overweight or obese, long-term — and healthy — weight management generally requires sensible goals and a commitment to make realistic changes in their lifestyle and improve their health. Those in such conditions have found great success with a diet plan. Creating a lifestyle based upon moderate eating and exercise is the key.
