Five Best Habits for Weight Loss

1. Get a Baseline

You cannot alter your dietary practices if you are unaware of them.

GET A BASELINE

Consider keeping a food journal, using an app like MyFitnessPal, or photographing your meals.

2. Work With a Dietitian

This is not a habit per se, but engaging with a professional, such as a registered dietitian.

Work With a Dietitian

This frequently backfires, resulting in a restrict-binge cycle that is not conducive to long-term success.

3. Half Plate of Vegetables

Follow the MyPlate or Healthy Plate guidelines for the majority of lunches and dinners.

HALF PLATE OF VEGETABLES

One cup of vegetables contains approximately 30 calories, while one cup of pasta contains 200.
