Nutrition

If you weigh more than you would like, it is because you ate more food calories than you used. It is also likely, those extra pounds accumulated over many months or years.

The secret to losing weight and keeping it off is that you must control your hunger, or more specifically, the amount of calories that you consume. Any diet that leaves you hungry will not work in the long-term. Hunger is a survival instinct and a very powerful one. A successful long-term diet must deal with hunger.

Therefore, to lose weight, you must eat. This will mean eating differently than you do now and will also mean changing your eating habits.

To control hunger and eat fewer calories you need to find less calorie dense foods. The object is to eat more but eat fewer calories. This means eating fewer processed foods and more fruits, vegetables and whole grains. For example, one average 6 oz. Apple contains 80 calories and just 2 ounces of cheddar cheese has 225 calories.

Listed below are a few tips you may find useful. Experiment. Find out what will work for you.
