USA Today<\/em> just ran its annual week-long Weight-Loss Challenge, with different articles on the subject each day. One feature article was a list of dieting tips<\/a> from the paper’s health reporter, Nanci Hellmich. There’s nothing groundbreaking on the list, but it’s an excellent encapsulation of the consensus wisdom of a number of experts in the field of health, nutrition and fitness. Here is a summary.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. As much as you can, clear all the bad, sugary, fat-laden food items out of your kitchen, pantry and fridge. If you need to indulge yourself, make a special trip to purchase your treats.<\/li>\n
  2. The fewer sugary beverages you drink, the better. The ideal number is zero.<\/li>\n
  3. Increase your physical activity as much as possible, not so much to lose weight as to keep it off once lost.<\/li>\n
  4. When dining out, split or share entrees or consume just half and take the remainder home, and ask for the salad dressing on the side and apply it sparingly.<\/li>\n
  5. Limit the size of portions at home; for example, 3-ounce servings of meat, poultry or fish as entrees, and at breakfast, pancakes no larger than CDs.<\/li>\n
  6. Emphasize protein; it seems to keep the body feeling full longer.<\/li>\n
  7. Buy some clothing one size smaller than you presently wear and make it your goal to fit into it.<\/li>\n
  8. Manage your hunger attacks by not going more than five or six hours between meals and by keeping low-calorie snack items on hand.<\/li>\n
  9. Get your zzzs; sleep deprivation triggers hunger hormones.<\/li>\n
  10. Whenever you get a craving for a treat, wait 10 minutes before acting on the impulse; often, it will have passed.<\/li>\n
  11. Try to pal up with a weight-loss partner and\/or supporter for morale boosting and encouragement, ideally a member of your household.<\/li>\n
  12. Keep a weight-losers journal and write down everything, repeat everything, that you eat, including fluids. Statistically, you’ll lose twice as much weight as you would with no journal.<\/li>\n
  13. Weigh yourself regularly, several times a week, to monitor how you’re doing and minimize backsliding.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
