If you’re overweight or obese, you can reduce your risk of health problems by losing weight. But it can be difficult to decide on the best way to go about it. There’s a lot of weight-loss advice out there, and not all of it is based on sound science.
If you’re thinking about starting a new weight-loss program, talk with your health care provider, who can assess your weight and health risks, determine whether you need to lose weight, and provide information that will help you make informed decisions about an effective weight-loss program. A healthy diet is an important part of a weight-loss program, and adding physical activity into your daily life can also help you lose weight.
There’s emerging evidence suggesting that some mind and body approaches, such as yoga and meditation, particularly mindful eating, may be useful as complements to other weight-loss interventions. These practices are generally considered safe for healthy people when practiced appropriately under the guidance of a well-trained instructor.
If you’re considering a dietary supplement for weight loss, remember that “natural” does not necessarily mean “safe.” Many dietary supplements marketed for weight loss haven’t been tested for safety, and some have been found to be tainted with potentially harmful prescription drug ingredients.
