disease,which kills more people these days than AIDS,malaria,war.Since the World Health Organization labeled obesity an epidemic in 2000,reports on its fearful consequences have come thick and fast.Will public-health warnings,combined with media pressure,persuade people to get thinner,just as they finally put them off tobacco?Possibly.In the rich world,sales of healthier foods are booming and new figures suggest that over the past year Americans got very slightly thinner for the first time in recorded history.But even if Americans are losing a few ounces,it will be many years before the country solves the health problems caused by half a centurys dining to excess.And,everywhere else in the world,people are still piling on the pounds.Thats why there is now a consensus among doctors that governments should do something to stop them.Some people put their faith in exercise.Some people dont mind being fat Others think the solution is dieting.The aititude of peopleHow to lose weightHow to lose weight Diet Obviously,the only reliable solution is dieting.But what sort of diet?There are the extremists who believe in a dramatic,thorough-going attack on their waistline by eating nothing.There is another theory that if you eat things like hard boiled eggs,apples with their skins on,and lean meat which are hard to digest,that the more you eat,the thinner you get.This is because you use up the fat in your body to get the energy to digest the food.For most of us these methods are too extreme or too eccentric.The simplest system is just to cut down on the carbohydrates or,if possible,to cut them right out.How to keep weight Diets arent the way to go when it comes to losing weight.Thats because they create temporary eating patterns and,therefore,temporary results.Most dieters gain back any lost weight when they go back to their old eating habits.So whats the best way to drop excess weight?Create a new normal!Weight loss is most likely to be successful when people change their habits,replacing old,unhealthy ones with new,healthy behaviors.Here are 4 ways to make that happen:How to keep weight1 14 41.Exercise 2.Reduce screen time.3.Watch out for portion distortion.2 23 34.Dont skip breakfast.Exercise.Regular physical activity burns calories and builds muscle both of which help you look and feel good and keep weight off.Walking the family dog,cycling to school,and doing other things that increase your daily level of activity can all make a difference.If you want to burn more calories,increase the intensity of your workout and add some strength exercises to build muscle.The more muscle you have,the more calories you burn,even when you arent exercising.1.Exercise1.Exercise2.Reduce screen time Reduce screen time.One reason people get less exercise these days is because of an increase in screen time the amount of time spent watching TV,looking at the computer,or playing video games.Limit recreational screen time to less than 2 hours per day.If youre with friends at the mall,youre getting more exercise than if youre IMing them from your room.3.Watch out for portion distortion Watch out for portion distortion.Serving sizes have increased over the past 10 years,and these extra calories contribute to obesity.Another key factor in weight gain is that more people drink sugary beverages,such as sodas,juice drinks,and sports drinks.So choose smaller portions(or share restaurant portions)and go for water or low-fat milk instead of soda.Eat 5 servings of fruits and veggies a day.Fruits and veggies are about more than just vitamins and minerals.Theyre also packed with fiber,which means they fill you up.And when you fill up on fruits and veggies,youre less likely to overeat when it comes to high-calorie foods like chips or cookies.4.Dont skip breakfast4.Dont skip breakfast Dont skip breakfast.Breakfast kick-starts your metabolism,burning calories from the get-go and giving you energy to do more during the day.People who skip breakfast often feel so hungry that they eat more later on.So they get more calories than they would have if they ate breakfast.In fact,people who skip breakfast tend to have higher BMIs than people who eat breakfast.necessitynecessity Men,let us concern about our weight now.Losing weight is not the privilege of girls and women To some men,it is high time to lose weight L/O/G/O
