    Keeping a healthy weight is crucial. If you are underweight, overweight, or obese, you may have a higher risk of certain health problems. About two thirds of adults in the U.S. are overweight or obese. Achieving a healthy weight can help you control your cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar. It might also help you prevent weight-related diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis and some cancers. Eating too much or not being physically active enough will make you overweight. To maintain your weight, the calories you eat must equal the energy you burn. To lose weight, you must use more calories than you eat. A weight-control strategy might include: Choosing low-fat, low-calorie foods Eating smaller portions Drinking water instead of sugary drinks Being physically active
    This article contains all the essential tips you need to lose your weight and will help you to ensure a healthy living.

      Drink Plenty of Water or Other Calorie Free Beverages

      People sometimes confuse thirst with hunger. So you can end up eating extra calories when an ice-cold glass of water is really what you need.

      If you don't like plain water, try adding citrus or a splash of juice, or brew infused teas like mango or peach, which have lots of flavor but no calories, says Cynthia Sass, RD, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association.

      Think About What You Can Add To Your Diet, Not What You Should Take Away

      Start by focusing on getting the recommended 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables each day.

      It sounds like a lot, but it is well worth it, because at the same time you are meeting your fiber goals and feeling more satisfied from the volume of food, says Chef Laura Pansiero, RD.

      You're also less likely to overeat because fruits and vegetables displace fat in the diet. And that's not to mention the health benefits of fruits and vegetables. More than 200 studies have documented the disease-preventing qualities of phytochemicals found in produce, says Pansiero.

      Her suggestion for getting more: Work vegetables into meals instead of just serving them as sides on a plate.

      I love to take seasonal vegetables and make stir-fries, frittatas, risotto, pilafs, soups, or layer on sandwiches, Pansiero says. It is so easy to buy a variety of vegetables and incorporate them into dishes.

      Consider Whether You're Really Hungry

      Whenever you feel like eating, look for physical signs of hunger, suggests Michelle May, MD, author of Am I Hungry?

      Hunger is your body's way of telling you that you need fuel, so when a craving doesn't come from hunger, eating will never satisfy it,
