Lose weight safely

Losing weight reduces the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and many other illnesses. But how to lose weight ? Here are some basic guidelines to lose weight safely, according to the US department of health and human services :

Exercise for about thirty minutes, most days of the week. This will help burn more calories. If you use up the day’s calories and some from that stored in the fat, you will lose some of that extra pound.

Eat less fat and sugar. Fried foods, tempting fatty deserts and similar high calorie foods can add your calories, without providing the required nutrients.

Eat a wide variety of foods. The wide variety of foods are available, not just for satisfying your taste buds, but for charging your body with the necessary vitamins and minerals.

Be careful of weight loss programs, whose promises are too good to be true.

Before embarking on a weight loss program, ask your doctor to help you set realistic goals for safe weight loss.
