When it comes to losing weight, we’ve heard, it all boils down to one simple piece of advice – burn more calories than you consume. But that simple advice is hardly simple, or else we’d slip into the jeans in the back of our closet as easily as we slip into the habit of grabbing fast food for lunch or relaxing on the couch with the remote.
The fact is that while the weight-loss equation is simple, making the math work for you can take motivation, time and a little know-how. Arthritis Today can help.
In this special guide we bring together some of our best advice on consuming fewer calories and burning more of them. We also offer some good reasons for losing weight (as if you haven’t heard enough), share some tried-and-true weight-loss tricks, evaluate the latest weight-loss trends and, most importantly, put you on your way to permanent lifestyle changes that will leave you thinner and healthier for life.
