It is simply eating those foods known to promote good health in the amounts to achieve a good weight. Females who are overweight seem to have the most problems losing weight. Some of this is perhaps genetic and some hormonal. However, in the end, the weight loss is directly related to calories eaten. The old adage still stands – there are no fat people in concentration camps. Fortunately, Healthy Eating combines weight loss, diet and fiber together like an interlocking puzzle. When all three fit together, they produce a beautiful picture of a new you, physically and mentally. Let’s talk about each of these. The discussion won’t be too long as there are diets on each of these three topics in the Patient Education sections.
Losing Weight
There are no secrets here. Weight loss will occur if the calories you eat are less than what your body needs. What you need is a plan with short-term and long-term goals.
Do not lose weight rapidly. It will come back just as quickly. A slow weight loss of 1-2 pounds per week is plenty. Five pounds a month is a realistic goal as is 20 pounds in six months.
Get a good waist high or full upright scale or weight yourself on such a scale at the YMCA or health club at least three times a week. Do not use a wimpy floor scale. They tend to be inaccurate on small weight changes. Permanent weight loss is serious business. Use a serious scale.
Analyze yourself. Are you a do-it-yourselfer, a group person, a binge eater? Do you need support from your spouse, a friend, a group program? There are so many types of weight loss programs available. Most health clubs, including the Y, have them. Weight Watches is a traditional low-cost program, especially if you avoid the expensive foods they sell. Hospital dietitians are available. What is right for you? Only you know this and can decide.
Activity. If you spend less time eating, you need something to fill the void. Activity, starting with vigorous walking, is almost a necessary part of the program. A 30-60 minute rapid walk once or even twice a day does wonders in clearing the head. Do not expect to burn off a whole lot of calories unless and until you get into aerobic exercise – i.e. swimming, jogging, bicycling, etc. Do not try to do exercise at home, especially on exercise equipment bought through TV ads. Home exercisers tend to quickly burn out. Go to a health spa or Y. Make friends with people who have similar interests.
Head games. Changing eating habits is like changing your instincts for breathing or sex. They are really part of ourselves, usually learned at an early age. How much food makes me full? Do I binge eat when I get stressed out? How do I deal with these feelings? This is difficult, make no mistake about it. Yet, to be successful, it must be addressed. Your physician, spouse or friend, or even clergy, may be able to help. Perhaps you can learn relaxation techniques or some other self-contemplative stress reduction method.
