What are some important components of a successful weight loss plan?
Hello Everyone,
I would like to know what are some good ways to help people lose weight?
For instance, if you were to create a weight loss program what would be something that you would make sure to emphasis or implement?
Thanks in advance for your time.
The most critical aspect of a weight loss program is selecting foods that are nutritionally rich and lower in calories.
I lost 80 pounds by simply changing to a low-fat whole plant based diet as described by Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Jr. I do exercise, but I learned through experience that diet is far more important than the level of activity. That being said, I do exercise moderately for about one hour each day. Weight training is also a good way to build muscle rather than fat. The volume of tissue created with the same number of calories is seven times more for fat than muscle. I’d rather have an additional pound of muscle rather than seven pounds of fat.
I also learned that maintaining a healthy weight is a lifestyle change. You don’t keep weight off by joining Weight Watchers for one year. Most victims of commercial weight loss programs learn that they cannot keep the weight off for more than about a year or two. Atkins and calorie restricted diets also do not work for the vast majority of people. (Kolata)
