In fact, according to the World Health Organization, more than 1 billion people worldwide are overweight, and of
those, 300 million people are obese. These figures shed light on why the diet industry is now a multi-billion-dollar
business.
While those focusing on weight loss are eating less, they are not necessarily eating better. Regimens restricting
certain foods or using extreme low-calorie diets often don't work in the long run because they are difficult to maintain
and don't provide the body with the variety of nutrients it needs.
How do you lose weight and keep it off without extreme measures? Here are some tips:
* Understand your motivation to eat. Many times stress, fatigue and dehydration are disguised as hunger pangs.
Ask yourself if you are overwhelmed, thirsty, bored or truly hungry before reaching for a snack.
* Plan your meals. You don't have to map out an entire menu, but think about what you can eat for lunch and dinner
beforehand, so that you aren't grabbing something on the go because you're hungry and it's time to eat. Cook
meals ahead of time to have on hand at the end of a long workday.
* Keep your immune system strong. When dieting, it's important to keep your immune system healthy by providing
your body with essential nutrients. A health drink called NuVim is a new product that helps maintain a healthy
immune system, according to its manufacturer. Tested and proven effective in 19 clinical studies, NuVim also helps
with muscle flexibility and athletic performance. The drink contains the antioxidant vitamins A, C and E, along with
B-12, zinc, calcium and essential amino acids. For a list of stores that carry NuVim or to purchase the product in
powder form, visit www.nuvim.com or call (877) 850-8777.
* Find subtle ways to cut calories. For instance, switch from drinking 2 percent milk to skim, or let diet soda or
unsweetened tea take the place of regular soda. Low-fat and low-sugar versions of condiments like cream cheese,
butter, dressing and jam also make a difference without sacrificing taste.
* Exercise as much as you can. Few people are able to lose weight and keep it off without exercise. While it may
seem impossible to fit yet one more thing into an already time-starved calendar, exercising for at least 30 minutes
three to four days a week is a must. Working up to an hour, four to five days a week, should be a goal.
