Weight control is hard work for overweight adults but it can be a whole lot easier with a few tips from the experts. Everyone approaches weight loss in a different way, but there are a few tried-and-true rules. Here is some advice to help you shed a few pounds:
• Keep a food diary. Know what you are eating. It's easy to think you hardly eat anything, but calories add up.
• Write down manageable goals. Instead of "I will lose three sizes by summer," try "I will eat a healthy, low-fat breakfast and lunch this week." Half a pound a week can add up to a 12-lb. weight loss in six months.
• Begin an exercise program- walk for 10 minutes-even five minutes-if that's all you can tackle right now.
• Reach out. You need the support of family and friends.
• Monitor your environment. Make it more diet friendly.
"Let's face it-temptation is much easier to resist if it's not around. Managing weight loss successfully is more than managing eating and activity habits; it also includes managing your environment," says Anne Wolf, M.S., R.D., University of Virginia School of Medicine dietitian.
• If your weight won't budge, talk to a registered dietitian or local pharmacist. There could be an underlying physical reason for stubborn weight. A registered dietitian or local pharmacist can also give you tips on products to help, such as alli, the only FDA-approved, over-the-counter weight-loss product with a plan. Adding alli to a low-fat diet can help people lose more weight than dieting alone.
