Sustainable Weight Lose Is More Common Than You Think

According to cardiologist James Rippe (author of Weight Loss That Lasts: Break Through the 10 Big Diet Myths) the method by which you lose weight determines how successful you will be in the long-term. Extreme methods yield little in terms of the the long haul. A flexible approach that focuses on making positive lifestyle changes is healthier and more effective because as you develop skills through the weight-loss process, they become habits that make sustaining weight loss easier. Additionally, there are four components of a weight-loss method that are proven links to success. They are as follows:

• Making wise food choices
• Being physically active
• Making positive lifestyle changes, and
• Creating a supportive atmosphere

Start with these and your likely to increase your ability to lose weight and keep it off.
