Weight Loss
There are many ways to lose weight, and there are equally as many ways to put the weight back on. Successful and long term weight loss requires making changes in your lifestyle, including changing what you eat and the amount of physical activity you get on a daily basis. To lose weight and keep it off, you're going to have to get your head around the fact that your current lifestyle needs to change. You need to create new physical things to do that you can keep up for the rest of your life.

How much weight do you need to lose? Even a loss of 5-15% of your total weight can improve your health significantly, and your quality of life will likely improve as well. Losing weight will help prevent future health problems. IF you weigh 200 pounds 5-15% means losing 10 to 30 pounds. And for those of you that think you don't need to lose weight, keep in mind that you should still be following a lifestyle centered around healthy eating and physical activity to prevent weight gain and maintain good health. This is particularly important as you age.
How do you lose weight?
Body mass is controlled by the number of calories you consume and the number of calories you burn. In order to lose weight you need to be taking in less calories than you're burning. To do this, you need to be exercising, and eating low fat, healthy foods. There are many different weight loss plans that can help you make this change.
Keep in mind that any weight loss diet that reduces portion size or eliminates specific foods can be extremely difficult to stick to and often isn't successful over the long term. You should make sure that you're eating healthful foods and that any diet you go on needs to include your favorite foods, as well as a good variety of foods that will provide you with enough calories and other essential nutrients.
Perhaps the most important part about losing weight (and the most feared), is making sure you're getting regular physical activity. This is the only thing that will ensure that you lose weight and keep it off for good. Regular physical exercise will also improve your energy level and your mood, and it will lower the risk of developing illnesses including heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Any amount of exercise is better than none, however health experts recommend 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity every second day at least. To lose weight and maintain a healthy weight level, you need to exercise, so get used to it! Your reward for exercising is that your body will burn more calories faster, allowing you to modify your diet without gaining weight.
