Losing weight permanently starts in your mind. If you've been on many diets, and haven't succeeded with any of them, don't despair. Researchers say that 95 per cent of dieters regain lost weight within a couple of years.

Eliminate the "Diet" four letter word - think health instead

Forget about diets and dieting. Restrictive diets work in the short term, but not in the long term.

Instead of looking for a dieting fix, make one healthy change this week, and another healthy change next month.

When you make just ONE change a month to live a healthier lifestyle, you've made 12 changes in a year. Those changes add up, and because you've made the changes gradually, your body has time to adjust to them.

Changes you could make include:

* Add a couple of servings of vegetables daily

* Take a 20-minute walk each day

* Take up swimming, golf or any other sport

* Drink more water, or green tea, which suppresses appetite

Just make one change a month, and you'll be amazed at how quickly you lose weight.
