Why do some weight loss programs succeed?

While there is no “one size fits all” solution to lifelong, healthy weight loss, try these tips:

  • Lifestyle change – Permanent weight loss is not something that a “quick-fix” diet can achieve. Instead, think about weight loss as a permanent lifestyle change. You are making a commitment to your health for life. Various popular diets can help to jump-start your weight loss, but permanent changes in your lifestyle and food choices are what will work long term.
  • Find a cheering section – Social support means a lot. Our planned program to come will use group support to impact weight loss and lifelong healthy eating. Seek out support, whether in the form of family, friends, or a support group, so that you can get the encouragement you need.
  • Commit to a plan and stick to it – Experiment until you find a good, long-term plan that helps you lose the weight and maintain that loss in a way that works for you. If you cut out just 100 calories a day you could lose 10 pounds in a year. Remember, one 330ml can of soda can contain 150 calories.
  • Lose weight slowly. Losing weight too fast can take a toll on your nervous system, making you feel sluggish, drained, and sick. When you drop a lot of weight quickly, you’re actually losing mostly water and muscle rather than fat. Aim to lose 0.5 to 1.5 kg a week to ensure healthy weight loss.
  • Stay motivated and keep track – Short-term goals, like wanting to fit into a wedding gown, usually don’t work as well as goals like wanting to feel more confident or become healthier for your children’s sakes. Keep a food journal or weigh yourself regularly. Find and use tools that help keep you motivated. Stay focused: when frustration and temptation strike, concentrate on the many benefits you will reap from being healthier and leaner.

How do we take care of our health

Most of us forget that in order to have good health in our old age, we need to take care of our health NOW! We dont watch what we are eating as long as we are not sick. I have a news for you friends, the bad eating habit we are doing now will eventually show later. Women especially think that once you have a baby its ok to be fat, its actually a "prestige" to get fat after getting married! But its not about the baby (entirely) it is what and how we eat. "You are what you eat"
So lets take care of our body now, so that it will take care of us when we need it most.
Stay healthy

The Weigh Right blog

I hope you are all doing well.
welcome to our new blog about the right eating for proper weight.
It is not a secret that obesity is becoming a national problem now. A study done in 2006 by BioMed (www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2458/9/465) it showed 32% of urban women in Tanzania were overweight or obese. Obesity is a well recognized risk factor for various chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
In this blog we will be discussing on how and what to eat for a healthier BMI (Body Mass Index). It is our hope that this will benefit many if not all who will be participating in this discussion.
As it the first time, we wont write much but we will have a lot to share as we go on.
Stay healthy
