Weight LossHere are 7 tips from proven sources that show the secrets of weight loss.

  4. GET OFF OF THE COUCH Watching less than 10 hours of TV a week means weight control success! Be less sedentary, that means getting up and moving around every 90 minutes is key as well.
  5. MONITOR WEIGHT Checking your weight regularly keeps you in check. You do not have to check it every day, but ideally, once a week to be able to keep on top of your progress.
  6. EAT BREAKFAST It’s true, breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Seventy-eight percent of successful dieters eat breakfast every day. Think about yogurt or a high-fiber cereal with berries and milk, an egg wrap or a steamy bowl of oatmeal.
