Weight Control - Diet Advice

Choose low-fat, lean foods from the five major food groups.

Eat sensible portions, and use fats, oils, sweets and salt sparingly.

Total fat intake should be no more than 30 percent of daily calories.

Total intake of refined sugar should be no more than 40g in a 2000 calorie diet, or about 8 percent of calories.

Exercise moderately for at least 30 minutes on most days.

If you need to lose weight, do so gradually - aim to lose about 10 percent of your body weight over 6 months.

Obesity is now the "trillion dollar disease". This reflects the social costs of obesity, in health and lost production, as well as the weight loss drug profits that might be made for any pharmaceutical company that finds a drug-cure for obesity. The search for viable weight loss medications continues, although pharmaceutical weight loss products still have significant side effects.
