How to choose a weight loss program

Choose a weight loss program that…

1. Recommends exercise

Choose a weight loss program that incorporates or promotes exercise to achieve weight loss.

Exercise is essential to achieve long term weight loss and weight maintenance.

2. Promotes healthy food

Choose a program that emphasizes eating:

• fruits and vegetables
• whole grains
• lean sources of dairy and protein

Choose a program that also promotes eating a variety of food so that you get a variety of nutrients and don’t get bored.

3. Is realistic

Choose a program that promotes making changes that you can maintain for the rest of your life.

Do not choose a program that talks about success only when you use their product(s).

4. Is customized

Choose a program that is tailored to you. There is NO such thing as a one size
fits all weight loss program.

5. Is safe

Choose a program that promotes losing no more than 1-2 lbs per week, and does not
require you to purchase any pills or supplements.
