each person needs a custom-tailored diet. You will need Information from weight-loss
facilities and referrals from friends (optional). Never change your diet without first consulting
your physician. Step 1. Locate and visit weight-loss facilities. Many offer one-stop shopping:
coaching, personal training, dietary counseling, and a health club. Step 2. Consider food choices
and accommodations for any special dietary needs you have. Resist temptation to buy junk
food. Keep your pantry stocked with healthy essentials. Step 3. Examine the exercise design
-- is it built into the program? If not, are you disciplined enough to be on your own?
Ask friends, neighbors, and coworkers to recommend a facility. Step 4. Choose a program that’s
overseen by medical staff or certified nutritionists. Meet with them and discuss your goals. Step
5. Check for hidden costs, and make sure the program is right for your budget. Choose a
facility that is close to your home or work so you’ll be motivated to stick with it.
