How much weight do I need to lose to gain health benefits?

Even a small amount of weight loss achieved in a healthful manner is most beneficial. Losing as little as 5% of body weight can help improve blood pressure, cholesterol levels, fasting blood sugar, and triglycerides. Being overweight increases the risk for many chronic diseases, and losing small amounts of weight can improve your health and slowly help you reach a healthier weight. We encourage you to make small changes in eating and physical activity patterns that can be sustained over time, which will slowly help you lose weight permanently.

Can I skip meals to lose weight?

Skipping meals doesn't help you eat fewer calories. When you skip a meal, you’re more likely to get hungry and overeat at the next meal. Also starvation is not the key to lose weight. You wouldn’t want your body to be deficient in nutrition at the cost of looking thin. It's better to spread your eating evenly through the day and eat smaller meals. In the long run, you’ll eat fewer calories with these small meals per day than with the larger ones.

My friend lost a lot of weight; why didn't her strategy work for me?

Everyone has different challenges, different resources and different gifts. Every Body is not the same. In diet one size does not fit all. Your diet plan should cater to the needs of your body which works differently to how your friend’s body works.

Are over-the-counter weight loss supplements helpful in losing weight?

Diet pills rarely lead to permanent weight loss. The best method for weight loss is the tried-and-true formula of good eating habits and plenty of exercise. Using over-the-counter weight loss drugs is a short-term solution to a long-term problem. Instead save the money and spend it on nutritious foods. Get in touch with your hunger and appetite instead of relying on supplements that have no scientific proof of effectiveness. The best way to lose weight is to get regular physical activity and eat meals made up of foods that satisfy hunger and control appetite and provide optimum nutrition.

How do I lose weight off my face, butt, thighs, or stomach?

The process of losing weight anywhere (face, butt, thighs, stomach) is the same. First, let us dispel a myth. There is no such thing as spot weight loss. There isn't an exercise in the world that will take excess body fat off an area of your body you consider a problem spot. When you lose weight it comes off all over the body in equal amounts. As your body uses stored body fat as energy it draws equally from all these area.
