Health professionals generally encourage approaches tailored to the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
For one person, that might mean changing portion sizes and becoming more active. For another, it may involve working with a registered dietitian. Someone else may need evaluation for a medical condition affecting weight or may benefit from evidence-based medical treatment supervised by a clinician.
There is no single strategy appropriate for everyone.
Health Experts Recommend a Safer Approach
Rather than relying on an unknown product promising an overnight transformation, sustainable weight-management strategies generally emphasize several foundations.
Balanced nutrition is one of them.
A sustainable eating pattern should provide adequate nutrients while fitting a person’s health needs, lifestyle and goals. Extreme restriction can be difficult to maintain and may create other problems.
Regular physical activity can also contribute to overall health and weight management.
Exercise is not simply about burning calories. Physical activity can support cardiovascular health, strength, mobility and overall well-being.
