Certain methods of weight loss while being effective for their purpose in the short term, are not sustainable and may even be detrimental to health. Many resort to “quick and easy” ways, and end up suffering for it.

Eat 5 servings of fruits, vegetables and whole grains each day. Sleep it off. Boost your metabolism. Get active. Don’t skip meals. Consume more “good fat”.

An approach that combines both nutritional and lifestyle solutions can offer a glimmer of hope to our increasingly overweight society – whether the goals are for immediate healthy weight loss or for long term weight management.

Many products claim that you can lose weight without any effort. Some probably do work in the short term. However, as soon as you stop going to the slimming centres or popping the diet pill, the pounds will soon return to you, and probably more.
