In 1995 Americans spent 33 billion dollars on diets,
that is 30 times more than United Nations had spent

Before starting a treatment of obesity and losing weight, the first thing you need to do is to change your way of life. There is no medicine that can help if you don’t start rising your physical activity gradually and learn how to consume food in the proper way.
The less greasy food you consume, the better for your diet. To get rid of excessive weight, you need to give you body not more than 1200-1500 kilogram-calories a day. However, you shouldn’t completely reject fat food, just try to eat food, that is low on fat and cholesterol (about 30%).
One more detail that one needs to remember is that there is no urgent need to stop eating everything you like at one day. Do not become heroic! Try to reduce your appetite at least by 5 % a day (100-200 kilogram-calories). Then you will little by little reach the level of 1200-1500 kilogram-calories. After you reach it, try to stay on that point.
Add many fruits, raw vegetables to your ration. Try and eat more food items which are big in size but low on calories. This will create the feeling of satiety. Completely exclude such ingredients as spicy appetizers or drinks that make you feel hungry.
Pay attention to what is written on the labels of the food items. Do not trust labels that say: “No FAT”. Such products may sometimes contain more fat than can even imagine.
Follow the regime of food consumption an never give up! Do not eat at night, what’s more, do not eat anything for two hours before you go to bed. While being on a diet, try not to cook flavored fried meals, rich bullions that arise your appetite.
Be sure, that the individual program, prescribed by doctor, takes into the account your personal tastes. In that case it will be more pleasant for you to follow it.
Exclude beer and alcoholic drinks.
To lower the body mass, your organism should not only get less energy, that comes with food, but also increase its expenditure. That means you need to increase physical activity, during it the calories burn down more effectively.
It doesn’t mean at all you have to do are exhausting physical exercises. Initially your main goal is start more active way of life instead of sitting on the sofa and watching TV. The intensity of work-out exercises is determined by the frequency of your pulse. While working out the frequency of your pulse should not be more than 180 beats per minute. It is recommended not to wear out yourself completely, because this may lead to the lose of consciousness. Remember, that increasing of the physical activity must be gradual, in order for it to have positive effect on your health. Your goal is about 30 minutes of exercises daily.
It is obvious that you want not only to lose weight but to keep yourself from becoming fat again. There will be no result if you stay on diet for half a year and lose 40 kilos, but then gain the same weight in one month.
If you have enough patience and will to follow all the suggestions above, than go for it!
