Despite the commitment and the discipline to eat smart and stay active, keeping trim is easier for some, harder for others. Today health experts understand that there is no perfect size, shape, or weight. What’s really important is being healthy with the body that’s yours. Make a plan to right-size yourself for fitness.
- Set a date for a physical checkup.
- Monitor your health numbers: cholesterol, trigylcerides, blood pressure, blood sugar level. Keep them within a healthy range.
- Find a way—your way—to be physically active each day.
- Learn to control your portions. If you tend to overeat, perhaps keep food out of sight so it’s out of mind.
- Eat for variety: perhaps more fruits, vegetables, and whole-grain foods; enough dairy and protein-rich foods; fewer high-calorie, high-fat foods.
- Make your weight goal realistic and healthy—for you!
