Also indexed as:Weight Loss
Get the skinny on weight loss. Discover what works for you to improve your chances of losing weight and keeping it off. According to research or other evidence, the following self-care steps may be helpful.

The right diet is the key to managing many diseases and to improving general quality of life. For this condition, scientific research has found benefit in the following healthy eating tips.

RecommendationWhyGet started
Choose low-glycemic-index foodsDiets that emphasize choosing foods with a low glycemic index, such as vegetables and whole grains, have been shown to help control appetite in some studies.
Feast on fiberFiber adds bulk to the diet and tends to produce a sense of fullness, helping people eat fewer calories.
Try a low-carb, high-protein dietLow-carbohydrate, high-fat diets are popular among people trying to lose weight. Some research suggests that their effectiveness is due to the fact that people eat fewer calories while on them.
Cut back on caloriesPeople who have successfully lost weight report eating fewer snacks of low nutritional quality and eating breakfast regularly. They also report getting less calories from fat and more from protein.
Find a diet that fitsFor long-term success, choose a healthy diet that you can stay with. With each weight fluctuation, it becomes easier to gain weight and harder to lose it, so make changes that last.
Choose breast-milk over formulaIn one study, breast-feeding during infancy was associated with a reduced risk of developing obesity during early childhood (ages three to four).
Uncover food allergiesAlthough the relationship between food sensitivities and body weight remains uncertain, chronic food allergy may lead to overeating and obesity.
