Straight Talk - with Dr. Rhonda Fine
Dear Dr Fine,
I always seem to loose weight when I diet, however I also always gain the weight back within the next few months. Why is that and what can I do?

Dear Leon,
Weight loss is an internal process. Diets attempt to change what you eat while exercise affects your body’s strength and endurance. Unhealthy eating is the result of poor choices, therefore it is necessary to change our thoughts and learn to restructure our thinking. Everyone is different your best chances for success is to sit down with a specialist in Weight Maintenance who can individualize specific strategies. Success requires the right attitude in addition to the proper program.
Dear Dr Fine,
Do you recommend keeping a weight loss journal and why?

Dear Stephanie,
Absolutely, If you are serious about making a lifestyle change a personal journal should be kept not only to identify what your eating but to identify how much your exercising and the motivating forces that influence your eating.
