When we want to lose weight, we should be careful not to rely on out-dated theories about dieting. For example – It’s commonly believed that snacking between meals will lead to putting on weight. Some would beg to differ though.

Writing notes in a diary is a great way to keep an eye on what you’re eating. Start a full week before you plan to commence dieting. Make a note of all the things you have, and be scrupulously honest! Look at what you’ve written down, and after a few days you should be in a position to see where adjustments could be made.

Nutritionalists work on a person’s Body Mass Index when analysing weight questions. Our weight is thought to be right for our height if our reading is under twenty five and over eighteen. If it goes over 25, we have a weight problem. Above 30, and we join the category of obesity, moving into morbid obesity above 40.

And that’s when we develop an overwhelming desire for food.
