Losing weight is an incremental process. Instead of diving into a brand-new exercise program and strict diet, take it one step at a time. Here, we outline four weight loss options that can build upon each other for lasting success.
1. Start with nutrition
Losing weight begins with taking a closer look at what you’re putting into your body. If you’re just starting out, consider downloading an app like MyFitnessPal to track your calories. Many people will start to see results after this initial step — just be consistent about measuring your food and honest about what you’re eating and drinking.
At Ochsner: Set and reach your wellness goals with one-on-one nutrition consultations at Ochsner Fitness Center.
