Lose
weight? Eat less
The simple
answer to the question “How do I lose weight?” is
“Eat less,” according to
Dick Johnson,
manager of Oxford Club, a Vancouver fitness center.
However
appropriate, eating less is not easy. Southwest
Washington Medical Center’s Nutrition and Diabetes
Center currently offers four different programs
which come under the category “Unlocking the secrets
to lasting weight loss.”
Some of those
secrets are decreasing caloric intake, eating
breakfast, eating plenty of carbohydrates, weighing
regularly, and exercising—a lot.
“All diets
work if your goal is to lose weight, but almost none
of them work if your goal is to maintain weight
loss,” according to
James O. Hill, founder of the National Weight
Control Registry, writing for the medical center’s
January-February issue of
HEALTH Scene.
