Diet & Weight Loss

At any given time, one out of three Americans is on a diet or some sort of weight loss plan. Unfortunately, most of them fail. Those who are successful share common strategies, such as dieting with a buddy and sticking to a strict schedule of meals. Research shows that overweight individuals who have a healthy weight loss of 5 percent of their body weight can significantly lower their risk of diabetes, stroke, and even some cancers.

If you're a mindless muncher, there are a few steps you can take to curb the habit. Never eat late at night, until you're fully awake, or while multitasking. To avoid overeating in social situations, carry a bottle of water, a cell phone, or a clutch purse in your hand (it will keep you from snacking). And beware of alcohol, which can not only be highly caloric but also make you less aware of what you're eating.
