🌿 Want to lose weight in a healthy, sustainable way?
Forget the crash diets — the CDC reminds us that lasting weight loss comes from small, steady lifestyle changes. Here are simple, evidence-based strategies to help you get started 👇
✨ 1. Know your “why.”
Remind yourself why you want to make a change — for better energy, health, or confidence. Even losing just 5–10% of your body weight can make a big difference for your blood pressure, sugar, and cholesterol.
📝 2. Track your habits.
Write down what you eat, drink, and how active you are. Awareness helps you spot patterns (like late-night snacking or skipping meals).
🎯 3. Set realistic goals.
Start small! Instead of “I’ll eat better,” try “I’ll add veggies to dinner 5 nights this week” or “I’ll walk 20 minutes after work 3 days a week.”
🤝 4. Find support.
Tell your friends, join a group, or work with your care team. Support keeps you motivated when things get tough!
💬 Remember: It’s not about perfection, it’s about progress. Small steps add up to big results over time. 🌟
