To achieve both weight loss and health, you need to find the right diet for you. American health experts shared with WebMD their tips on finding the best diet for you.

 

◇Can it be practiced for a long time? The first priority is to determine if your diet is sustainable. Here's how to determine if your diet is healthy and sustainable.

 

▲ Allow a variety of foods from all food groups ▲ Include exercise ▲ Lose weight slowly and steadily ▲ Allow snacks between meals ▲ Choose a diet plan based on research ▲ Increase water intake ▲ Choose a diet method that does not rely on supplements.

◇Is the weight loss rate appropriate? Rapid weight loss often results in more water loss than fat loss, so it's important to lose weight slowly and steadily. Rapid weight loss methods often lead to a loss of water, muscle, and some fat, which can lead to a yo-yo effect, with weight regained when the diet is discontinued. Ideally, aiming for a weekly weight loss of 0.5 to 1 kg and consuming approximately 500 kcal per day is recommended.

 

◇Does it fit your usual lifestyle? You should review whether the diet plan aligns with your eating habits and lifestyle. Consider factors such as: Does it fit with your usual eating, traveling, and dining out patterns? Can you adhere to meal times, recommended meal and snack times? Does it require any special preparation or cooking? Your regular exercise level should also be considered.

 

For those who spend a lot of time sitting, overly ambitious exercise plans are bound to result in poor adherence. Choose a diet plan that incorporates exercise routines that can be incorporated into your daily routine. Even if it's not necessarily exercise, consider activities that increase full-body movement, such as walking, gardening, or housecleaning.

 

◇Can bad habits be improved? Dieting shouldn't simply involve weight loss; it should also help you improve your lifestyle habits and improve your overall health. Breaking bad habits yields more sustainable results than temporary weight loss. "You just need to choose a method that helps you recognize the habits that are hindering weight management," says Judy Rodriguez, a professor of nutrition at the University of North Florida.

 

"The best weight-loss plan is one that doesn't make you feel like you're dieting," he said. Thinking you're dieting can lead to obsessive food cravings and frustration when things don't work out, so it's best to manage your weight by gradually adjusting your daily habits.
