Winning Weight Loss Advice from 5000 "Losers"

Want to know what it takes to lose weight and keep it off?
Some answers are coming from the National Weight Loss Registry, a group of 5,000 Americans who have become weight loss experts by losing at least 30 pounds and keeping it off for at least a year. Their habits can help the rest of us understand what it takes and while there seems to be no single "best" way to lose, there are definitely some best practices that lead to keeping the lost weight off for good.

One of the key understandings is that it's not over once you've reached your goal weight, in fact the real work is just beginning. While you can lose weight on any diet that controls your calories (remember it doesn't matter if it's high or low carbohydrate -it's calories) what matters are the habits you've developed to keep your weight off for good (This is the problem with "get thin quick" diets - the emphasis is on losing weight instead of keeping it off). Based on the experiences of the National Weight Loss Registry, what matters is developing an eating and exercise plan that you can follow over your lifetime, not just while you're dieting. So instead of just jumping on the latest diet bandwagon, figure out the diet plan that will work out best for you based on your lifestyle needs.

 

There are several ways the PersonalDiets helps you develop your own eating style and considers your lifestyle needs. Instead of just providing menu plans like so many diets, we help you develop a meal pattern that you can follow whenever and wherever you are. The menu plans we provide help you get started on the road to eating the right foods in the right amounts, but you aren't stuck following a menu plan over and over again. Do you know anyone who does this in the real world?

So, along with meal plans, personal eating guidelines are developed based on your needs (personal health and weight loss goals, and your eating preferences). If you cook for others you can use recipes and if you'd rather eat packaged foods, you can choose a plan that includes convenience meals instead. And some people do well by substituting a liquid drink or energy bar in place of one meal -we have plans for that too because they work well for some people. So, Personal Diets develops the eating plan you need to lose weight (the right amount of calories and a healthy balance of foods). And most importantly, the structure and focus of the Personal Diet program guides you through making better choices and practicing new habits that will pay off with better health and a better body weight for the long term. And according to the real weight loss experts (the successful losers from the National Weight Loss Registry) - that's what really matters.
