want to loose weight?

Most of us are aware that if we want to lose weight, we need to eat healthy and exercise regularly.

To prevent weight gain, the participants received customised health goals to follow for 18 months. The goals were simple and involved regulating habits such as limiting the number of sugar-sweetened drinks and eating more fruits and vegetables. Researchers also monitored the amount of time spent sleeping and brisk-walking.

After a year, 45 percent of the women in the weight loss group were at or below their weight at the start of the programme, compared to 62 percent of the maintenance group. After 18 months, the weight loss group continued to gain weight while the maintenance group remained the same.
Researchers did not find any differences in blood pressure or cholesterol despite preventing weight gain. But, they wrote, “It may be that greater weight losses than those reported … are required to achieve improvements in cardiovascular disease risk factors, and weight maintenance may need to be sustained longer to achieve such health benefits.

Losing weight requires determination and a positive approach. So adopt some positive mantras to accomplish your goals, one at a time.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Skipping breakfast can make you binge on unhealthy food throughout the day.
