The New Weight Loss Reality

[Dr. Cluff @SvelteLife]

I recommend trying to exercise for 15-20 minutes daily, to make it a habit. But make it fun and active - brisk walk, cycling, dancing, etc.

An indispensable read is Dr. Fuhrman's book, Eat to Live. Read it more as a nutrition book, then you'll find the 1/2:3/6ths Rule to be easy!

The 3 biggest things that affect our weight have to do with eating (too much), eating (unhealthily), & eating (when we're not truly hungry).

[Dr. Cluff @SvelteLife]

Never allow yourself to say, "I'm not losing weight because I'm not exercising enough." Weight loss is 80% how you eat. So EatSvelte!

Work wonders on your weight by making at least half of everything you eat (meals, snacks, seconds - excluding breakfast) healthy vegetables!

You may not always be able to eat what you love, but you can always love what you eat!

Time is your friend - your greatest fat burner is your daily metabolism, to the tune of 1500-3000 cal/day. Chill, and let time do its job.

The key to long-term success, before you set a weight loss goal, is to set two other goals first: 1) Become healthy, & 2) not to gain weight

[Dr. Cluff @SvelteLife]

It's easy to get discouraged after eating too much, but don't! Live the Law of Compensation the next meal or day - but always in moderation!

Why does America keeps gaining wt? Because of how we keep approaching the weight loss race. Diets are not the solution; they're the problem.

[Dr. Cluff @SvelteLife]

The avg. weight gain in America is 1-2 lbs/year, and most of that occurs over the holidays-so set a FIRM goal not to gain over the holidays!

[Dr. Cluff @SvelteLife]

Factoid: The average overweight person in America is 40 lbs. overweight; if each lost only 20, we'd lose half the excess weight in America!

Eating a fiber-filled breakfast daily is paramount to long-term weight loss. If you must have fiberless cold cereal, at least add a banana!
