What's the Best Way to Lose Weight?

In today's diet-conscious world, shedding pounds seems to be at the top of many people's minds. The diet industry is a $46 billion machine, pumping out hundreds of books, diet plans, exercise regimens, and fitness experts each year.

It's no wonder, then, that even the most intrepid person can throw up her hands in despair at finding the best way to lose weight. Everyone you ask will tell you something different, and reading a manual or searching the Internet won't get you much farther.

Here's a secret you should know: most diets will help you lose weight in the short term. Whether it's Atkins or the Zone or Jenny Craig, you'll probably see some success if you stick with it. And regular exercise, whether it's Tae Bo, yoga, walking, or an elliptical trainer, will also help you lose weight and strengthen heart, lungs, and muscles.

Simply put, the best way to lose weight for you is whatever you will actually do. If you sign up for Weight Watchers-a reputable plan-but never follow the plan and skip the meetings, then you probably won't lose much weight on it. The best diet plans in the world won't work for you if you don't like the food or the control or the system.

Because keeping weight off is the hardest part of dieting, you should also consider that the best way to lose weight is one that will help you to make long-term, lasting changes in your diet and exercise habits, so even once you're "off the diet" you'll still be on the road of fitness and health.
