Describe five weight loss strategies.
Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
(Answers will vary.)(1) Make a commitment to change. The first necessary ingredient is the desire to modify your behavior. You have to stop precontemplating or contemplating change and get going! You must accept that you have a problem and decide for yourself whether you really want to change. Sincere commitment increases your chances for success.(2) Pay attention to calories. Just because food is labeled "low fat" does not mean you can eat as much as you want. When reading food labels (and when eating), don't just look at the fat content. Pay attention to calories as well. Many low-fat foods are high in calories.(3) Avoid mindless eating. Many people make food decisions based on psychological triggers, including family and friends, packages and containers, watching television and TV ads, watching movies, being distracted by electronics, and reading. Most foods consumed in these situations lack nutritional value or are high in sugar and fat.(4) Eat out infrequently. The more often people eat out, the more body fat they have. People who eat out six or more times per week consume an average of about 300 extra calories per day and 30 percent more fat than do those who eat out less often.(5) Prepare for slip-ups. Most people will slip and occasionally splurge. Do not despair and give up. Reevaluate and continue with your efforts. An occasional slip won't make much difference in the long run.
