5 Tips for Safe, Sustainable Weight Loss

If a weight loss claim seems too good to be true, it probably is. Be skeptical of miracles cures and potions.

Build a relationship with a primary care doctor who can provide continual care and advice over time.

Don't obsess over one perfect diet or food. Many lifestyle factors impact weight beyond just diet.

Address any mental health issues, as conditions like anxiety and depression can influence eating habits.

Understand basic nutrition principles rather than vilifying or glorifying single foods. Moderation and variety matter.
