Customise your diet to lose weight

Dr. Cipriano - a board-certified Ob/Gyn with a master's degree in clinical nutrition and author of Pop: Burst the Diet Bubble and Finally Lose Weight - says that she often meets people who feel that no matter what new diet they adopt, they just are not losing any weight at all. Similarly, some patients complain that they gain the weight back quickly, after having lost some.

Customise your diet to meet your needs

Dr Cipriano says that people often set themselves up for failure by adopting a 'one size fits all' mentality when it comes to new diets. In addition they may place restrictive measures on themselves, in order to stay healthy.
Your doctor or a dietician will be useful if you require assistance in customising your diet so that it meets your needs, so seek their help if necessary.

Make lifestyle changes

Try making positive lifestyle changes, instead of short term or temporary changes to your diet. Increase your intake of fruit and vegetables if your diet is lacking this important food group, switch to lean meat instead of fatty cuts, drink more water and exercise regularly. Healthy living should be a daily habit and not a once-off exercise.
