- Losing and maintaining weight loss is concerned with a gradual and permanent change in eating habits. This is helped by also increasing the amount of exercise you take.
- Fad and very low calorie diets are unlikely to be a long-term solution. Aim to lose weight slowly and make small easy changes to your diet first and then build on your success by attempting further changes.
- Do not underestimate the importance of small maintained changes such as reducing the amount of fat in your diet and be realistic about what you can change in any period of time, particularly if other life changes are occurring simultaneously.
- Eat regular meals, think before having seconds and try to avoid eating in between meals.
