� Don't skip meals
During
the day when you're active, your body needs maxi-mum calories and nutrients.
Missed meals may result in an unhealthy diet and may increase your risk of
obesity. Eating meals, including a healthy snack, at fairly regular times may
reduce impulse snacking, meal size and calorie intake.
� Limit meat consumption
Meat
is a major source of fat - keep portions under 6 ounces daily. Eat more
servings of vegetables, fruits and whole grains.
� Don't starve yourself
If
you're on a diet that's too strict, eventually you'll go back to eating regular
food. Unless you've learned how to eat a variety of healthy foods and still
lose weight, you won't achieve long-term weight control.
� Exercise regularly
Any
exercise burns calories. To promote weight loss from body fat, exercise at a
moderate intensity for at least 30 to 60 minutes on most days of the week.
Walking is a good form of exercise.
� Drink water
Drinking
water with your meal can help fill you up. Drinking water also slows the pace
of your eating - and people who eat fast tend to overeat.
� Weigh wisely
Daily weighing can be
a helpful tool for some people who are trying to lose weight or prevent weight
gain. But daily shifts in body water can show up as pounds on your scale. So
keep this in mind and pay greater attention to trends in your weight.
