Summer is on the way, and we all start to think about how we are going to look in shorts, sleeveless tops, and a new bathing suit!

Obviously, the benefits of achieving and maintaining an "ideal" weight far exceed appearance. When you lose weight, your entire outlook is typically more positive, you will have more energy, be able to take part in more physically demanding activities, and you will enjoy the compliments!  But, you don't see the most important benefits that are taking place inside: when you decrease your body fat, you'll likely add years to your life AND life to your years. Your cholesterol and blood pressure will go down, and you'll decrease your risk of developing diabetes.

The foundation of all weight loss programs should be LIFESTYLE CHANGES, including nutrition and exercise. While everyone likes the "lose a pound a day" idea, if you don't change your eating habits and activity level, the sacrifices and expense of the best diet will be wasted because you will regain the weight.
