To lose weight, learn strategy from the experts

Experts suggest the general principle for losing weight is to exercise and to eat a healthy, nutritious diet. Fan Zhihong, a renowned researcher in nutrition and food safety at China Agricultural University, said the general principle for losing weight is to exercise and to eat a healthy, nutritious diet. For people who need to lose 5 to 20 kilograms, it is important to lose weight slowly, ideally 1 to 2 kilograms per month, Fan said. During the process of "slow weight loss", people gradually set up a new lifestyle that includes healthy eating habits and regular physical training, Fan said. Weight loss may be rather remarkable under such a strategy, but without good muscle lines, the body shape would be loose and bony, she said.
