12 PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS FOR REDUCING WEIGHT
12 SUGGESTIONS FOR REDUCING WEIGHT ARE:
1. Set the goal which is realistic.
2. Adjust the rate of weight loss to one pound per week.
3. Take the help of visible tools( weighing machine) and motivation techniques.
4. Learn the calorie values of your home dishes and control their consumption or exercise substitute. Do not be obsessed by calorie counter. Do not be finicky.
5. Anticipate plateaus. They are common to all. They occur due to accumulation of water as fat is used up. Increase exercise in this period to help get rid of water and restart weight reduction.
6. Avoid commercially available low calorie foods. They are no better than low calorie home-made meals, besides being exorbitantly priced.
7. Avoid dietary binges. Your self-determination and mental control will see you through.
8. Avoid a separate menu for yourself. Instead adapt your dietary needs from the regularly prepared family dishes.
9. When eating away from home or in the company of guests take care and avoid excesses but do not get upset if you miss your planning. Adjust the following day's menu or the remaining part of the day's diet to compensate for the occasional excess calorie intake.
10. Avoid use of appetite depressants and such type of medication. The unnatural practices may do more harm than good; rather try out some natural methods.
11. Do not change your meal or snack pattern. This is because you should not take all your calories at one sitting.
12. Do not think of any surgical methods. They may be harmful. However, liposuction may be tried in extreme obesity.
