Exercise and Counseling Help with Weight Loss

When it comes to dieting, you should exercise and not go it alone.

That seems to be the message from two studies (1) published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

In both studies, participants lost more weight and kept most of it off by controlling calories, exercising and talking to a diet counselor.

According to the National Weight Control Registry, the key factor for almost all those that have lost weight and kept it off is that they have continued to exercise.

Many people know that they should get more exercise, but are unsure of what to. do or how to work it into their daily lives. Not to worry, there is help as close as your computer.

The National Physical Activity Plan is a comprehensive set of policies, programs, and initiatives that aim to increase physical activity in all segments of the American population. The Plan is the product of a private-public sector collaborative. Hundreds of organizations are working together to change our communities in ways that will enable every American to be sufficiently physically active. Learn about the Plan on this site, and get involved. You can read the plan at their website

Most people can start a moderate exercise plan without consulting a doctor. However, if you have a doubts or have a chronic disease such as heart disease or diabetes, it behooves you to check with a doctor prior to starting a program.

Little changes to your lifestyle can have a big affect on your health. Things like walking a few blocks instead of driving. Parking farthest away from a store, returning a cart back to the store instead of leaving it where you park. Taking stairs instead of an escalator. Walk around your block and talk to neighbors.

A future article will go into more detail about the National Physical Activity Plan.
