Life is what me make it. What we eat is what we get as they said. To loss weight, we needed self control and discipline. Losing weight is like withdrawing from our vices e.i. smoking, beverages etc. FYI.. Know what? for just 4 days i lost 2.2 lbs. I swear, NO SNACKS BETWEEN MEALS, LIGHT MEALS FOR DINNER, LESS FAT AND MORE FIBER together with simple physical activity like walking are very effective methods of losing weight.Just try what I did so you'll experience what is the feeling of being light, with no regrets after eating your favorite foods. SELF CONTROL IS NEED. GOOD DAY! LENI

The correct secret to weight loss is this. Make small changes each and every day and you'll gradually lose those additional pounds. The key is to forget about immediate results and settle in for the long run.

Absolutely right! Like withdrawing from any vices, everything must be gradual to prevent withdrawal symptoms. We need to keep in mind that everything follows a step. Step by step process is tantamount to good outcome. Sudden change on the diet results in waste of time and could possibly lead to eating disorders.

Self control and exercise also have the advantage of being ABSOLUTELY free! You can also find out what your food contains, what makes a healthy diet and how many calories you need by searching the Internet. There is totally NO NEED to spend money on expensive 'weight loss programs', pills or medications because, for most people, it is just a matter of knowledge and common sense. Of course, I am not referring to those who have glandular problems, eating disorders or who, for one reason or another, cannot get normal exercise. The first thing anyone who wants or needs to lose weight should do is to talk to their doctor who should advise on what needs to be done and diagnose any medical condition there might be and prescribe accordingly.

And I guarantee you that this kind of lifestyle could help you for the rest of your life. Feel young, stay young. Health has its own way of revenge. Someday when we're old we will realize how important to live healthy.

well i dont need to lose weight and yes i agree with you that if you eat the right food, (not necessarily low fat) and exercise then yes it helps to lose or manage your weight, but you would have to keep it up and im sure you can treat yourself to the chocolate and treats we all like as long as its not too much and enough to satisfy you, and well done for the weight loss.

Indeed, determination , discipline and self control are the secret to losing weight. We just have to have a mind set of eating just in moderation. I do find myself losing some poundage, whenever i religiously do my 3x a week, 1 hour exercise. In addition, i lessen my rice intake, specially at night. Furthermore, at the office i would always walk around the mall just to get to the comfort room. I take the stairs instead of the escalator.
