Scientific Dieting and Exercise Blog's Dieting and Exercise Plan

Our Plan:

1) Weigh yourself daily.
2) Follow a low fat, low cholesterol, low salt diet that is recommended by the scientific community, like TLC or DASH.
3) Plan your meals.
4) Track total fat, saturated fat, salt and calories by recording and measuring what you eat on a website like fitday.com.
5) Exercise 30+ minutes daily.
6) Add physical activity to your daily routine.
7) Lift weights.
8) Cook and bake for fun.

Barriers to weight loss (or what not to do):
1) Do not use over-the-counter diet products
2) Eat away from home too often.
3) Believing that healthy foods are too expensive, tasteless, and unsatisfying.
4) Find excuses not to exercise, such as being too tired, having no time or no one with whom to exercise, and finding it too hard to maintain an exercise routine are also huge barriers to weight loss.
5) Forgetting to eat breakfast.
6) Forgetting to measure.
