Tips to Manage Weight

  1. Eat a well-balanced diet that helps you balance caloric intake with physical activity.
  2. Drink six to eight glasses of water daily.
  3. Keep a food diary.
  4. Get physical for at least 60-90 minutes on most days of the week if you want to lose weight, maintain a weight lost or avoid gaining weight.
  5. Do strength-training exercises on alternate days to increase muscle tone.
  6. Learn to manage stress so you don't respond to it by overeating.
  7. Stop eating when you're no longer hungry rather than waiting until you feel full.
  8. Practice portion control. Know how much you are really eating and adjust portion sizes based on your weight management needs.
  9. To keep motivated plan non-food rewards for improvements in your weight management.
