WE ARE NOT DOCTORS.  WE ARE NOT ACTORS.  WE ARE JOURNALISTS AND PEOPLE FROM A VARIETY OF BACKGROUNDS AND OCCUPATIONS WHO HAVE FOUND WAYS TO SUCCEED AT LOSING WEIGHT, KEEPING IT OFF, AND CHANGING THE CULTURE IN OUR LIVES TO A HEALTHIER ONE.  THE FOLLOWING ARE PRINCIPLES AND STRATEGIES THAT ARE WORKING FOR US.

EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT.  NO ONE EXACT STRATEGY WILL WORK FOR EVERYONE.  HOWEVER, CERTAIN FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES WILL APPLY TO NEARLY EVERYONE.  HERE ARE SOME OF THOSE PRINCIPLES.

BASIC PRINCIPLES:

ANY WEIGHT LOSS STRATEGY THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING PRINCIPLES WILL NOT PROVIDE LASTING SUCCESS.  ANY WEIGHT LOSS STRATEGY THAT INCLUDES THESE KEY PRINCIPLES WILL LIKELY WORK AND BE MAINTAINABLE. 

1. WEIGHT LOSS IS CALORIES IN-CALORIES OUT.  MANY WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE THERE IS SOME GIMMICK NEEDED.  THEY ARE USUALLY SELLING SOMETHING.

2. MOST PEOPLE WHO ARE OVERWEIGHT EAT WAY TOO MANY CALORIES.  AT THE SAME TIME, THEY GENERALLY DO NOT GET ENOUGH NUTRITION. TO SUCCEED AT LOSING WEIGHT AND KEEPING IT OFF LONG TERM, A PERSON MUST GET THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF CALORIES AND COMPLETE NUTRITION. IF YOU ARE REDUCING CALORIES TO LOSE WEIGHT, YOU SHOULD EAT EXTRA NUTRIENT-DENSE FOODS.  WHATEVER ELSE YOU DO OR DON’T DO, IF YOU DO NOT GET COMPLETE NUTRITION YOU WILL DEVELOP ILLNESS.  INADEQUATE NUTRITION ALSO MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO KEEP WEIGHT OFF SINCE YOUR BODY WILL CRAVE FOODS TO REPLENISH DEFICIENCIES.  MOST GIMMICKS AND FAD DIETS ARE INADEQUATE AND WILL MAKE YOU SICK.

3.  THERE IS NOW A WONDERFUL BODY OF GOOD SCIENCE ABOUT NUTRITION AVAILABLE.  THIS INFORMATION HAS EVOLVED OVER TIME.   SOME IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH OUR TRADITIONS AND HABITS OR IS NOT BENEFICIAL TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE PRODUCTS TO SELL.  MANY ARE IGNORANT AND SOME INCLINED NOT TO BELIEVE IT.  IT IS TRUE NONETHELESS.

4. MOST OF US KNOW MUCH MORE THAN WE EVER PUT INTO PRACTICE.  USUALLY THIS IS BECAUSE WE HAVE BAD HABITS, COMPULSIVE EATING ISSUES, AND FOOD ADDICTIONS.  TO SUCCEED WE MUST PERSIST AT APPLYING PROVEN STRATEGIES TO OVERCOME THESE HABITS AND ADDICTIONS.

5.  SOME CAN SUCCEED WITHOUT TRAINING, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND SUPPORT.  MOST CANNOT.  JUST ABOUT EVERYONE CAN BENEFIT FROM A SKILLED TRAINER OR PARTNER.  SOME NEED EVEN MORE HELP IN THE FORM OF A NUTRITION ORIENTED DOCTOR OR THERAPIST.

6.   WE ALL NEED TO DO SOME EXERCISE TO BE HEALTHY.

7.  WITH THE PROPER INFORMATION, A LITTLE ACCOUNTABILITY, AND MOTIVATION, NEARLY EVERYONE CAN SUCCEED, EVEN YOU.
