5 Easy Weight Loss Tips

Exercise Is Essential For Healthy Weight Loss
You should strive for five 30 minute sessions per week to maintain long term weight loss.

Keep A Food Diary
A food diary can provide a large amount of self-awareness. It can identify emotions and behaviors that trigger overeating and foster greater awareness of portion sizes.

Focus On Being Healthy .. Not On Being Thin
Many people become more successful at long term weight loss when their motivation changes from wanting to be thinner to wanting to be healthier. You should eat to give your body the nutrients it needs for optimal health.

Make Sure Portion Sizes Are Appropriate
With the advent of "super-size" meals and increasingly huge portions at restaurants, our concept of normal serving sizes is a distant memory. Be mindful of the amounts of food you consume.

Eat Slowly
It takes the brain 20 minutes to start signaling feelings of fullness. The amount of calories consumed before you begin to feel full can vary significantly depending on how quickly you eat. So slow down, take smaller bites and enjoy
