Tips to reduce Obesity

  • Determine with the help of your physician how much weight has to be reduced.

  • Set several short term realistic goals .

  • Reward yourself each time you make progress (Not food items).( Like I will buy a new sandals if I reduce this much pounds or Kgs)

  • Even small weight losses have shown to be beneficial.

  • Make gradual changes in eating habits. (The human body reacts negatively when calories are reduced by slowing basal metabolic rate. This makes weight loss harder.)

  • You will lose weight when you burn more calories than you consume. Hence eating less and being more active help in losing weight.

  • Sound eating habits keep you out of putting on weight.

  • Stay motivated to lose weight.

  • Slow weight loss is the safest and most effective. ( one to one and half pound per week).

  • Gradual weight loss, promote long term loss of body fat.
