How to lose weight?

At it’s simplest, in order to lose weight, you need to use more calories than you eat although it is an over simplification. To stay at a healthy weight, balance the calories you eat with the calories you burn.

What are calories?

Calories are a measure of the energy in the foods you eat. You burn calories when you are physically active.

How do I know if I’m eating the right number of calories?

Go to Daily Calorie Calculator to determine the calories you need to consume for no weight loss or weight gain. This is the number of calories you need to maintain your current weight. If you are overweight or obese, burn more calories than you eat to lose weight.

What are the benefits of losing weight?

If you are overweight or obese, losing weight can lower your risk for serious health conditions like: Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, metabolic syndrome, high blood pressure and even risk of early death.

Plus, eating healthy and being physically active can give you more energy throughout the day. Move more and eat healthy foods to help: Lower your blood pressure Lower your blood sugar Raise your “good” cholesterol Lower your “bad” cholesterol

You may start to see these benefits of losing weight by losing just 5 to 10 percent of your body weight. For example, if you are 200 pounds, this could mean losing as little as 10 pounds.

Make a promise to eat well, move more, and get support from family and friends. If you need to lose weight, do it slowly over time.

Remember that to lose weight, you need to eat fewer calories than you burn.

  • Set realistic goals. Start out by setting small goals, like: I want to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week. I will add 10 minutes of physical activity to my daily routine. I will avoid second helpings of meals this week.
  • Keep a food and activity diary. Write down: When you eat What you eat How much you eat Your physical activity.

Losing weight is never easy. Before you start a diet, talk to your doctor or nurse about a healthy weight-loss plan that’s right for you. Let a professionally trained weight loss doctor work with you to lose weight safey and effectively.
