Prevention is the best cure

A study published in PLoS Medicine led by the Harvard School of Public Health, in conjunction with the University of Toronto and the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, is the most comprehensive to date taking into consideration how diet, lifestyle and metabolic chronic disease contribute to mortality in the U.S.

The results found that many of these factors include dietary and lifestyle risk factors that are preventable. The number of deaths that occur in the U.S. annually are attributed to the following risk factors listed below -- all of which were considered premature or preventable:

Preventable Cause	Deaths
Smoking:	467,000
High blood pressure:	395,000
Overweight-obesity:	216,000
Inadequate physical activity and inactivity:	191,000
High blood sugar:	190,000
High LDL cholesterol:	113,000
High dietary salt:	102,000
Low dietary omega-3 fatty acids:	84,000
High dietary trans fatty acids:	82,000
Alcohol use:	64,000
Low intake of fruits and vegetables:	58,000
Low dietary poly-unsaturated fatty acids:	15,000

Stay Healthy

The study was the first of its kind to look at a wide range of contributing risk factors, including diet, lifestyle, smoking, alcohol and metabolic factors of the U.S. population, and to figure how many deaths were a result of each risk factor.

So you regained some weight

A common response many people have is not to worry too much, make a few simple changes, and the weight will come off. Another theory is It’s only 5 pounds, and I can get it off on my own. I am embarrassed to go back to the weight loss center where I lost the weight, because they will think I’m a failure...

What is a few pounds?

So what is 5 pounds after all? 5 pounds is 17,000 calories. You would have to drink water and take vitamins and eat nothing else for 11 days to lose 5 pounds of fat! That is obviously not the right approach.

How to Lose Weight Fast

There is no quick fix for weight loss. However, here are some tips to help lose weight faster:

• Eat a healthy diet. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables, and whole grains. Avoid processed foods, sugary drinks, and unhealthy fats.
• Exercise regularly. Start with what you can, with goal of 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week. Consult with your primary doctor before starting any new fitness plans, especially if you have any health conditions.
• Sleep. Get enough sleep each night. When sleep-deprived, your body produces more of the stress hormone cortisol, which can lead to weight gain.
• Manage stress. Stress can lead to unhealthy eating habits and weight gain. Find healthy ways to manage stress, such as exercise, yoga, or meditation.
• Realistic goals. Slow and steady wins: Aim to lose 1-2 pounds per week.
• Patience. It takes time to lose weight and developing and maintaining these good habits is the true goal. Keep at it, and you will see lasting results.
