Weight loss is big business these days, and there are almost endless quantities of diets and programs and supplements and advice to sift through if you you want to lose weight. But after all the propaganda, the only way to lose weight in a healthy way is this: 1. EAT LESS.2.

MOVE MORE. EAT LESS As a nurse, I believe a healthy diet is very important. I recommend eating a diet with lots of variety and as many fresh fruits and vegetable as you can manage.(Vegetables are especially good for you, with fiber for good digestion and lots of vitamins and minerals, but most people don't get enough of them.) Be careful making massive changes to your diet--if you deprive yourself entirely of the things you love (like sweets or "junk food"), you will tend to binge on those things later and gain back all the weight you may have lost on your strict diet.

Instead, eat what you love, but be very aware of portion sizes, especially of foods you know are fattening. For example, if you love ice cream, don't try to do without it entirely, but have a SMALL portion as a treat once in a while instead of a big bowl every night. A lot of special "diet foods" that are "No-fat" or "Low-fat" or "Low-Calorie" have artificial ingredients that I don't love and plus they are often pretty expensive.

I find it is better to focus on eating things you know are healthy (lean meat, vegetable and fruits, whole grains) and, again, make sure you eat a variety. MOVE MORE The only way to lose weight is to use up more calories than you eat, so your body will convert some of your fat to energy.So if you are not already quite active in your everyday activities, you'll have to spend time on exercise. Pick some active things you like to do, like bicycling or tennis or walking in the park or aerobics or weight-lifting or dancing, and then make appointments in your schedule to do these activities regularly.

I find it is easiest to stay consistent if you have a friend (an "exercise buddy") to help motivate you to keep your appointment when you are not in the mood. If you make some healthy changes to your food intake and increase your amount of activity, you can't help but lose weight.

Along with all the good advice about changing your physical appearance, I'd like to put a word in for your mental health as well. I've seen that a great portion of weight management is mental. How we see ourselves and how we cope with tough situations contributes a great deal in how we treat our bodies.

Please keep the mental/emotional in mind as well...

Those are commonly given advice not only for losing weight but also living in a healthy manner. Being active, drinking lots of water and doing it slow are amongst other things that you can do to achieve the goal. Further, make sure changing the diets etc can be integrated smoothly to your lifestyle.

Further reading below are available from WebMD and MayoClinic. The articles are written by health professionals. If you are unsure/unclear, you should still contact your local doctor for further information.

I think it is a bad article. Most of the tips are supersticious. There are no sources cited and it is a very poor translation (not to mention the typos).

For example: "Don't eat sweet food. Protein does not make you put on weight,but suger does. " This is completely stupid because it is not considering portion sizes.

The truth is you need a balanced diet. You need food with carbs AND proteins AND lipids. If you only eat proteins but you eat an entire cow, then yes you will gain more weight than expected.

Another common problem with this articles is the "magic promisse": why should we start dieting in the spring, this is a very unhealthy behaviour and it borders an eating disorder. We should mantain a balanced diet all year round. Not just to wear a swim suit, eat well to be healthy.

Balance, moderation and excercise are the key. I strongly recommend this site of the BBC. It is much more serious and many expert scientists from different fields have collaborated with the documentary.

Walking is a great way to lose weight but it requires motivation. Bring an Ipod along or if you have a dog, bring him along. I usually bring my camera with me and when I see something that I really like, I stop and take a picture.

Walking has helped me fall in love with photography and become better at it. Walking is also a stress buster and stress can aid in packing on pounds.

The link which you have given is a good article . You can proceed with that. In addition some other tips are take the stairs instead of the elevator.

Workout early in the day so there is less chance of missing your workout. Sleep enough. Keep junk food out of the house.

There are several diets you can take a look at to base a diet off of. Balance is important, so make sure that you get something from all the food groups. Empathis on fruit and vegetables.

The easiest thing to do is start counting calories. A good rule of the thumb is to take your ideal weight and add a zero. That's how many calories you should eat each day.

For example, you want to weigh 140, you eat 1400 calories. There are tons of websites to use that gives calorie counts for foods that generally don't have Nutrition Info. Just google "calorie counts" and pick the website that fits you the best.

You do not want to drastically cut your calories too much. Go in increments of 100 or 200 from your current weight. If you weigh 170, start off eating 1600 or 1500 calories.

If you jump straight away to 1200 calories, you will lose weight at first, but your body will get used to the tiny amount of energy you're getting and it will stop burning fat.

I used to be pretty obese and started putting on a lot of weight especially on my thighs and bottom in my late thirties. I started exercising as often as possible and also cut down on a lot of high calorie stuff. Unfortunately I hardly managed to lose much weight at all.

I then recently read an article by a lady who claimed that she managed to lose nearly half of her weight using a particular weight loss supplement. I tried it out and it actually worked quite well. Within 4 months I managed to lose about 65 pounds.

The results were pretty amazing and I feel so much healthier and energetic now. You can read more about the lady's article at obesityzapped.com.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
