So how do I lose weight?
The BDA has a fact sheet recommending some of the best ways to lose weight. They suggest:
Keep a food and mood diary to monitor how the two are connected
Make a list of non-food related tasks you can do to distract you from thinking about food
Set realistic goals: losing only 5-10% of your weight has massive health benefits
Avoid eating at the same time as doing something else, such as watching TV, as this can cause you to overeat
Half fill your plate with vegetables/salad and divide the other half between a protein and a starchy carbohydrate like potatoes or rice

Lower your expectations enough that our tepid recommendations might get the odd person there...
Tell people that everything that might work, won't, that it's not worth trying various approaches to see if one clicks for you.

In response to this, a BDA spokesperson said: "The analysis we release is always based on evidence and is unaffected by the important relationships we have with the nation's food producers.

They would say that, wouldn't they?  Might even be true. You don't have to compromise what you believe for industry money to have an effect, all industry has to do is support groups that already believe things that are in the industry's interest. |
