Document Summary
Use bmi, waist circumference, and/or waist-to-hip ratio to determine your current weight status: set goals. Based on your assessment in step 1, establish a long- term goal of maintaining, losing and maintaining, or gaining and maintaining weight in order to stay or become healthy. Then create short-term goals that will lead you to achieve your long-term goal. Your goals should be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time- phased: live a healthy lifestyle. Apply lifestyle principles associated with diet and activity that will promote personal goal achievement. Understanding energy balance is essential to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Energy (in the form of calories) is taken in from the foods that you eat. Energy is expended by the body to maintain functions vital to life (resting metabolic rate), to digest the foods consumed, and through daily activity. When energy intake is in balance with energy expenditure, weight is maintained.
