Resolution: Go on a diet and lose weight?

It’s the beginning of 2010, and many people make resolutions to start the new year.  With the obesity epidemic raging in the United States, as well as weight gain from holiday eating, a very common resolution is to go on a diet and/or lose weight.  The flaw in this resolution is that it does not create a long-term outcome.  It is a decision to try to stop eating unhealthy foods and shed excess pounds, but it does not involve maintenance of healthy eating habits or a healthy weight.  This leads to what is called “yo-yo dieting” – dieting with weight loss followed by returning to previous eating patterns and regaining weight.  It can also lead to overly restricting food intake to the point of not being able to stop losing weight, even after a healthy weight is achieved.

So let’s change that resolution from “Go on a diet and lose weight!” to “Eat healthier and maintain a healthy weight!”  It is okay to include a specific weight loss goal, just keep in mind that any weight within the healthy range should be considered acceptable and successful.  If you struggle with how to eat healthier, here are five good guidelines:

  1. Limit fast food.  Even if you’re choosing something “healthy,” you’re more likely to get sodas or fries if you’re stopping at a fast food joint.
  2. Drink mostly water.  Eight glasses of water daily plus some skim milk or 100% juice will give you plenty of fluids without empty calories.
  3. Eat your fruits and veggies.  Adults should have at least 3 servings of veggies and 2 servings of fruit daily, and often the recommendation is more.  If your fruit and vegetable intake is too low, you will be hungry for other foods because your body wants the nutrition.  You will end up eating extra grains, protein, or fat instead.
  4. Watch portion sizes.  Start with a small portion and get more if you are hungry.  You will eat a larger amount if it is on your plate.
  5. Limit added fats and salt.  Use low-fat, oil-based salad dressings.  Salt your food lightly while cooking but stay away from salt shakers at the table.  Try to avoid foods that are already high in fat or sodium.


To attain and maintain a healthy weight, include physical activity for 30-60 minutes at least five days per week while following the above eating guidelines.  Pay attention to the body’s signs of hunger and fullness: Eat when hungry, and stop when satisfied.  Using these tips will change habits and behaviors for long-term success.

For more personalized advice, seek out a Registered Dietitian in your area by going to the American Dietetic Association website at www.eatright.org.  An individualized eating plan will provide a balanced approach for more specific healthy eating guidelines, as well as incorporating personal weight goals.

BITCOIN RECOVERY IS REAL!!!

( MorrisGray830 At gmail Dot Com, is the man for the job )
This man is dedicated to his work and you can trust him more than yourself. I contacted him a year and a half Ago and he didn't succeed. when i got ripped of $491,000 worth of bitcoins by scammers, I tried several recovery programs with no success too. I kept on. And now after so much time Mr Morris Gray contacted me with a success, and the reward he took was small because obviously he is doing this because he wants to help idiots like me who fell for crypto scam, and love his job. Of course he could have taken all the coins and not tell me , I was not syncing this wallet for a year, but he didn't.
He is the MAN guys , He is! If you have been a victim of crypto scam before you can trust Morris Gray 10000000%. I thought there were no such good genuine guys anymore on earth, but Mr Morris Gray brought my trust to humanity again. GOD bless you sir...you can reach him via ( MORRIS GRAY 830 at Gmaill dot com ) or Whatsapp +1 (607)698-0239....

My name is James Benson from Los Angeles, CA. I just want to say a big thanks to HACK VANISH CREDIT SPECIALIST. A few weeks ago I reached out to them to explain my credit situation, and they requested my info and necessary details and were able to get every derogatory item on my report erased and increased my FICO score to 788 within 6 days, I was amazed at their brilliancy. They are fast and reliable. Anyone looking for a credit solution below is their contact details:
