101 Weight Loss by Dr. Anil Chaturvedi

“If eating less is a punishment; eating more is surely a crime.”

Weight loss, in the context of medicine, health, or physical fitness, refers to a reduction of the total body mass, by a mean loss of fluid, body fat (adipose tissue), or lean mass (namely bone mineral deposits, muscle, tendon, and other connective tissue). Weight loss can either occur unintentionally because of malnourishment or an underlying disease, or from a conscious effort to improve an actual or perceived overweight or obese state. “Unexplained” weight loss that is not caused by reduction in calorific intake or exercise is called cachexia and may be a symptom of a serious medical condition. Intentional weight loss is commonly referred to as slimming.

Eat varied, colorful, nutritionally dense foods.Keep a food and weight diary.Engage in regular physical activity and exercise.Eliminate liquid calories. Measure servings and control portions. Eat mindfully.Stimulus and cue control.Plan ahead.
