- Get support: Check with your physician before starting any weight management plan.
- Make a commitment: Permanent weight loss requires time and effort. Commit to lifelong
changes for good health.
- Set realistic goals: Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week.

yogurt, nuts and seeds, and high fiber cereals.
- Cut out the junk: Avoid or minimize sugary, fatty, processed, and sodium-rich
foods.
- Get active and stay active: Exercise a minimum of 30 minutes, 3-5 days a week.
- Stay hydrated: Drink a minimum of eight 8oz. glasses of water per day to help your
body function at its best and to help control hunger.

Natrol® My Favorite Multiple®.
- Keep a positive mental outlook: Don’t be too hard on yourself. Being healthy should be
fun!
