Tip of the Week

As it comes to long term weight loss success, one of big mistakes is to choose a too mechanistic approach: eat this, don't eat that, calorie in - calorie out, etc.

Dieting education, motivation, and support are the three most important component that should be including in any weight loss plan.

Diet education

A study was conducted to determine whether diet education could be an effective supplement to diet counseling resulting in an article in the Diabets journal. Researchers concluded that education, especially computer-based techniques, can provide beter results.

Examples of topics every dieters should learn about are:

We dieters all have our motives -- to improve health, get in shape for a friend's wedding or class reunion, etc. These motives might be enough to start a diet but how do one stick with his or her own new year resolutions? Here we come to the third component - support.
