Yes, it is. Food is the component that largely determines whether we are gaining or losing weight. The key to losing weight is focusing on eating foods that promote weight loss. If you can change what you eat and how you eat it you will be able to lose weight. Initially changing your eating habits may cause some level of stress. But it can be done. Once you know the nutritional differences between processed and whole foods, you have a choice. The bottom line is always the same: to lose weight, we must consume fewer calories than we burn. It is a gradual process. To keep it off, we must adopt permanent lifestyle changes. I did it and I lost 91 pounds.

Hi,
Diet is not only the only way to reduce weight. Healthy and proper balanced of food can help you to keep fit but if you want to lose some weight you have to do exercise. If you have tried every diet, invested in products or programs and you still can’t lose weight, you have come to the right place. Learn about common barriers to weight loss and ways to get past them so that you can get the results you deserve.
The key to successful weight loss and fat loss is a commitment to making permanent changes in your diet and exercise habits. The researchers point out that 97 million Americans are overweight and obese, which can put them at higher risk of developing chronic conditions like osteoarthritis.
While many people may simply want to lose weight to look better and to be more attractive, there are many others who are doing it for more personal reasons; they are looking to turn their lives around, to become healthier, strengthening themselves and decreasing their chances of tragically dying of some kind of condition or disease.

Hi Healthtrainer,

 

Welcome to EmpowHER. When trying to lose weight, it’s important to eat a healthy and balanced diet that is based on the food pyramid. However, what you eat isn't the only thing that matters when you are trying to lose weight. You must also exercise daily. With both diet and exercise, you can lose weight faster.  Before starting any exercise program it’s important to talk it over with your doctor and get the appropriate check up.
