Time Management

Wish there were more hours in  a day?  Feeling frustrated because you're not accomplishing what you want to accomplish.  How you manage your time will determine how successful you will be at controlling your weight.  Commit, Commit, Commit.  30 minutes a day is all it takes whether in the morning, noon, or evening.

Harmful Effects of Dieting

While obesity is bad for health, the wrong way to diet can also be harmful to your health.  Food is essential to life and improper nutrition can result in serious illness or death.

Eating Right

When trying to lose weight, you can still eat you favorite foods--as long as you pay attention to the total number of calories that you eat.  Chronic illness, like diabetes and chronic back pain are better controlled when a person is not overweight.  Eat an apple a day, drink 64 ounces of water a day, and limit your sweets, soda pops, and fast food to the weekends.

Getting Fit

 If it weren't for the fact that the TV set and the refrigerator are so far apart, some of us wouldn't get any exercise at all.  Staying fit helps to reduce premature aging and keeps your bones and muscles strong.  To lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you eat.  One pound of body fat is equal to 3500 calories.  So try to burn 500 calories a day, or you can burn 300 calories and reduce your calorie intake by 200 calories.   A healthy rate of weight loss is one to two pounds a week.

Weighing In

Skipping meals, weighing in every day, eliminating food groups are not the best ways to lose weight.
