Weight loss is hard. After
working so diligently to lose the pounds on a restrictive diet, the majority of
people gain them right back and often gain more than they lost. What kind of
diet guarantees weight loss for life?
“The key to losing weight and
keeping it off is best achieved by changing your lifestyle,” said Brenda
Herrod, board-certified nurse practitioner in women’s health at Methodist.
“Healthy habits don’t require you to throw everything out of your refrigerator
and force you to spend a lot of money on a special shake or only eat certain
foods approved on the diet.”
Most diet companies are focused
on financial gain. They know people are desperate to lose weight and will pay
almost any amount of money to lose weight fast. While quick weight-loss plans
or pharmaceuticals may work fast, you are almost sure to gain it back when you
return to normal living.
“The best long-term results take
effort, discipline, sacrifice and plain old hard work,” Herrod said. “You need
a plan that will lead you to optimal health, the physique you have always
dreamed of, and something you can live with the rest of your life.”
Herrod says it takes 21 days to
form a habit and offers these six tips for making lifestyle changes resulting in
a healthier life.
