Diets aren’t the way to go when it comes to losing weight. That’s because they create temporary eating patterns—and, therefore, temporary results. So what’s the best way to drop excess weight? Create a new normal! Weight loss is most likely to be successful when people change their habits, replacing old, unhealthy ones with new, healthy behaviors. Here are five ways to make that happen.

Take exercise.   1.   . Walking the family dog, cycling to school, and doing other things that increase your daily level of activity can all help you look and feel good and keep weight off.

   2.   One reason people get less exercise these days is that they spend too much time watching TV, looking at the computer, or playing video games. Limit recreational screen time to less than 2 hours per day.

Watch out for unhealthy drinks. Another key factor in weight gain is that more people drink sugary drinks, such as sodas, juice drinks, and sports drinks.   3.    

Eat some fruits and vegetables every day. Fruits and vegetables are about more than just vitamins and minerals.   4.    And when you fill up on friuts and vegetables, you’re less likely to overeat when it comes to high-calorie foods like chips or cookies.

  5.   People who don’t have breakfast often feel so hungry that they eat more later on. So they are likely to get more calories.

A. Regular physical activity burns calories and builds muscles.

B. So go for water or low-fat milk instead of soda.

C. They’ve also packed with fiber, which means they fill you up.

D. Don’t skip breakfast.

E. Share your breakfast with others.

F. It is bad for your eyes to spend too much time watching TV.

G. Reduce screen time.
