Weight Loss Secrets from Around the World
There are many ways in which reaching and maintaining a healthy weight can benefit your health. At a healthy weight, your risk for cardiovascular disease (e.g., coronary heart disease) is lower, as are your chances for developing other health complications, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and breathing problems.
Changing your eating habits is the best way to control your energy balance. By taking the time to note the amount of calories in your food and choosing healthier options (e.g., those that are low in calories, sugars, and fats) in the proper portions you can create your own energy imbalance. It’s also important to consider the quality of food you’re eating.
Focusing on foods which are both high in nutrients and lower in calories will be the most helpful in losing weight. Choose things like dark green-leafy vegetables (e.g., kale, spinach, or broccoli), lean proteins (e.g., lean beef, tofu, or legumes), and whole-grain bread products to maximize your health benefits while minimizing your calories.
Lower the amount of unneeded calories you consume on a daily basis by improving the type and amount of food you eat. Exercise regularly or decrease the time you spend sedentary to burn more of the calories that you consume
Remember, healthy weight loss is not about being deprived of food, or struggling with restrictive and boring diets. It’s about eating foods that are high in nutrients and lower in calories throughout the day.
