Key to Weight Loss: Calories in and Calories Out: To Achieve a 300 kcal Negative Energy Balance: Reduce intake by: Eliminating 2 oz potato chips Or increase activity by: Running 3 miles in 30 min or Substituting 2 diet sodas for 2 regular sodas or Bicycling 8 miles in 30 min

Practical Approach to Maximize Satiety and Achieve Meaningful Weight Loss and Weight Management 1. Individualized balance of Carbs / Fats / Protein for sustained adherence Focus on FOOD Right Fats (mono- and poly- unsaturated, omega 3 s Right Carbs (high fiber, low glycemic index, complex Right Protein (plant, marine, and lean animal sources) 2. Limit or eliminate sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and refined starches and snack foods 3. Reduce or eliminate all calories from beverages 4. Smaller portions, low energy density, high nutrient density 5. Consider book-keeping of calories, points, etc 6. Drink (and eat) water 7. Exercise for life 8. Get adequate sleep
Assess Readiness for Change Each Visit Motivation: Stress level: Psychiatric issues: Time availability: Patient seeks weight reduction Free of major life crises Free of severe depression, substance abuse, bulimia nervosa, other eating disorders Patient can devote 15-30 min/d to weight control for next 26 weeks YES Patient Ready? NO Initiate more aggressive weight loss therapy Prevent weight gain and explore barriers to weight reduction
