Linda Warrick, a Certified Health Coach, pointed out, “Excess weight is often accumulated gradually.” People suddenly realize they are 10, 20 or 30 pounds heavier than they used to be. She continued, “This excess weight can contribute to the development of diabetes, depression, or high blood pressure. “People with relatives suffering from these problems are at higher risk for developing them than people whose relatives are healthy.
Fortunately, losing weight can help avoid, reverse, or reduce the impact of this type of medical condition. For example, some people are able to control their diabetes with diet and exercise rather than with insulin.
The first step a person should take before beginning a weight loss program is to visit his or her family physician and discuss what type of diet would be most effective and safe.
Weight loss is challenging and food habits can be hard to change. There are many, varied resources available that can help a person stay on diet, lose weight, and maintain weight loss. Ms. Warrick suggested several tools that people can use to help them reach their weight loss goals.
Tools can be used alone or in combination. These tools can include using one of several different meal replacement programs offering ready-made meals and portions. These programs typically provide pre-proportioned meals and do the calorie counting for the dieter. A second tool is to use a mentor or health coach who will help the dieter stay focused. Another tool is providing education to the dieter about weight loss and healthy life style habits. And finally, many dieters find someone to support and encourage them during their diet. Support can take many forms—some is provided on-line, through coaches or mentors, or through diet books and meetings with a support group of fellow dieters.
