Make One Healthy Change At a Time

One of the primary reasons why dieting fails is that people go on radical diets, feel deprived, then go back to their old eating habits.

As I wrote here: http://losingweightafter45isabitch.blogspot.com/2009/05/theres-no-going-back.html you're going on a diet because your old eating habits got you to your present weight. If you go back to them, then guess what? Over time you'll put back on each and every pound you lost (and then some).

What you have to do is make permanent, life-time changes to your diet to reduce caloric intake. And, the best way to do that is to make one or two small incremental changes a month.

You won't lose 30 pounds in a month, but you will begin the lose weight and keep the weight off.
