General information
Diet, exercise, losing weight and keeping it off requires a combination of changing eating habits and regular exercise. To change your eating habits, eliminate those foods especially high in fat, such as bacon and processed meat and eliminate all visible fat on meat. Cut out rich sauces and gravy, butter, ice cream and nuts.
A diet consisting of broiled lean meat, steamed or boiled vegetables and fresh fruit will not only help you lose weight but is better for your body and general good health.
It may be necessary to cut the quantity of food you eat in order to lose weight as well as maintain your target weight.
Exercise is an important part of a weight loss program because it speeds up the body's ability to burn fat. Eventually, exercise will speed up the body's metabolism and you will burn fat faster whether you're actively engaged in exercise or not. Remember to start slow, exercise for 20 minutes two or three times a week. After performing at this level for a few weeks, increase your workout to 30 minutes, eventually building up to four times a week. Once you begin your fitness program, stick to it. You'll find your mind as well as your body benefits from keeping in shape.
