Nutrition Information

Losing the first 10 pounds of weight will have a greater impact on your health than losing the last 10 pounds. Often, individuals set themselves up for setbacks by not setting realistic weight goals. Modest weight loss - even for those who are still overweight - can, in many cases, help improve the management of:

  • Diabetes
  • Hypertension
  • Cholesterol levels

Plus, as your fitness levels get better, the tasks of everyday living become easier. Keep in mind this idea of health as your goal. Use the weight on the scale only as a convenient and general gauge for progress. This will allow for greater success. Aiming for a specific number on the scale can only lead to a letdown.

Keep the focus on the development of healthy behaviors. You can't control your weight. You can control your behaviors. For most people, healthy behaviors can bring about big changes in both health and weight.

Here are some suggestions for you, and some for your family. Start small, and set realistic and practical goals. For some, the first goal may be simply to prevent more weight gain. For others, a behavior change may be needed. Keep adding new goals and new changes to your lifestyle. Build on your prior achievements.
