Ending The Cycle
The American Heart Association emphasizes that long-term weight loss is a product of changing our behavior, good nutrition and physical activity. In its model, it emphasizes the components: Think Smart, Eat Well, and Move More.
Safe weight loss is considered to be no more than 1-2 pounds per week. A single food or meal does not make or break a healthful diet, as all foods can fit into a healthy diet when consumed in moderation and the appropriate portion size. Along with the health benefits of physical activity, such as promoting a feeling of well-being and reducing the risk of chronic diseases, it can help manage weight and helps offset the lowering of the metabolic rate that occurs with reduced caloric intakes. The key to healthy weight loss is healthy eating and physical activity.

Famous quotes containing the word cycle:
“The cycle of the machine is now coming to an end. Man has learned much in the hard discipline and the shrewd, unflinching grasp of practical possibilities that the machine has provided in the last three centuries: but we can no more continue to live in the world of the machine than we could live successfully on the barren surface of the moon.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
