The key to losing those inches may not be in making big, difficult moves that blast fat and amp your fitness firepower. Experts say making small, yet equally important, adjustments could be more successful. Here are 10 modifications you can make that’ll reap giant rewards.
Are you trying to slim down? Smart move, since even moderately overweight people put themselves at increased risk for developing Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease, osteoporosis and pregnancy complications. But while losing weight makes great health sense, it’s also equally important that your goals are safe and sensible ones. Though it’s tempting to look for a magic bullet, experts say there’s only one sure-fire way to fight fat: change your eating habits and move more. “Many things will work in the short term, but without lasting lifestyle changes, the weight loss won’t be sustainable,” says Sheah Rarback, M.S., R.D., assistant professor of the University of Miami School of Medicine in Florida and a spokesperson for the ADA. The good news? Experts say it takes just three weeks for any new action to become a habit. What’s more, your lifestyle changes need not be drastic. Don’t believe us? Here, ten easy ways to incorporate changes into your life today to help you get results well into the future.
