Take measurements from your thighs, arms, hips, waist, and other areas you want to improve. These measurements can be more telling than your weight which can fluctuate.


11/18/07--08:55: reading nutritional information labels (chan 2282361)

When comparing foods you need to take into consideration sugar, salt (sodium), fat, and fibre. We need to eat more fibre and less sugar, fat, and salt. Nutritional tables always list the ingredients per 100g as well as per serve. Always compare the 'per 100g' figures.


11/18/07--08:59: Don't weigh yourself too often (chan 2282361)

Don’t weight yourself too often. Use a tape measure and the fit of your clothes to monitor weight loss. Take regular measurements of your arms, thighs, waist, hips etc. Your bodyweight fluctuates throughout the day. You weigh more at night time than you do on the morning. If you weigh yourself too often you may get disappointed when you see slight weight gains.


11/18/07--09:01: Buy a pedometer (chan 2282361)

Walking is one of the best ways you can burn calories. You should aim to walk as much as you can in everyday life. I recommend you get a pedometer. Using a pedometer you can easily monitor your daily activity. You can also use a pedometer to work out how many calories you are burning in everyday walking. You will be surprised at how the small distances you walk throughout the day build up!


11/22/07--16:59: Personalize your eating plan (chan 2282361)

There is no single diet plan that fits every man. Moreover, eliminating all your favorite foods is not a winning weight loss strategy. As long as your regular daily diet is calorie-controlled (1500-1850 calories) and contains enough healthy foods, you should be able to include a few treats without interfering with your weight reduction. If the idea of joining Weight Watchers doesn't appeal, customize an online diet plan or seek an individualized eating plan from a registered dietitian.
