Diet Bites is the place to turn to when you have weight issues that need to be solved.

Weight Loss Help Begins Inside of Your

Need some help with weight loss issues? We've got some hot suggestions and solutions that may be of great help as you tackle those unhealthy pesky pounds that you may feel will never go away.

If you are thinking about getting help with weight loss issues - you are 'on your weigh' to a thinner you. The first key to weight loss is to act on your desires and more forward with determination.

You'll need a good daily diet plan as well as a moderate activity schedule to pair with your willpower and motivation.

Will I Ever Be Thin?

That's totally up to you. Only you can choose the size that you want to be. No, losing weight is not easy but knowing what to expect before going on a weight loss plan is important for your success.

It's also important to remember that the daily menus in your plan as well as the exercise that you choose are there for you to use; if they go dormant - so does your progress in losing pounds. The plans, the activities - they are simplyworthless unless you put them to use.

How Will Weight Loss Help Me?

A healthier body, a boost in confidence and self-esteem, and even career perks are some of the many rewards you'll enjoy for all your hard work and dedication. Best of all, you'll love not only how you look, but how you feel both inside and out.

Where Can I Find Weight Loss Help?

Other than your doctor and nutritionist, you can find scads of weight loss help at Diet Bites. Online weight loss support forums may also be of great help in seeking support and tips to stay on-target, but they can also contain pitfalls that you should avoid.

Examples include: fad diet plans recommended by other forum members, weird and crazy tips, specialized foods, diet supplements or machines that you have to purchase.

Fact is, you don't know these people from Adam. We've had individuals who have approached us feigning sincerity - only to shortly discover they are trying to pull a scam.

When we had a forum at Diet Bites, there were several occasions when an individual would attempt to post their miracle weight loss formula along with a link to their business.

Given the opportunity to be hoodwinked or taken advantage of, your family and friends also make the best team for supporting your through losing those excess pounds. You may even be pleasantly surprised if one volunteers to diet alongside of you.

The Wickedly Good Diet Plan & Tips for Weight Loss Help

Diet Bites has created The Wickedly Good Diet Plan that delivers a step-by-step process to weight loss.  Even if you don't use the diet as a pattern, it's packed with information that can help most any dieter succeed.  

We have thousands of weight loss tips and dieting information that you can trust; our meal planners aim to be built upon the official Food Pyramid.

Your healthy daily diet is your best defense against weight gain and health issues, as well as in assisting you in reaching your fitness and health goals - safely.

When you consume the right foods and the right beverages, your energy levels will spike, your metabolic rate will increase and you'll simply feel like continuing forward with all of these good things supporting you.

A calorie-reduction diet plan should never go under 1,250 calories per day without your doctor's supervision. If you have more than fifty pounds to lose, you'll require more than 1,250 calories.

What is Considered Active?

Activity combined with our daily diet balances the level of our health.

Are You As Active As You Think You Are?

If you're walking 10,000 steps per day up to 12,499 steps - you are considered active. That's quite a lot of steps! Most Americans don't even walk 5,000 steps each day, which is considered by medical experts as an inactive, sedentary state of life.

If you are walking 12,500 or more steps each day, then you are considered a highly active person.

Inactive, Sedentary = <5000 Steps Daily

Low Activity = 7,500 Daily Steps

Somewhat Active = 10,000 Daily Steps

Active = 12,000 Steps Daily

Highly Active = >12,500 Steps a Day

It's important to keep in mind the following.

1. The older we get, activity levels generally require adjustments. For example - in my opinion, a 50 year old individual walking 7,500 steps per day is a highly active individual.

For the 60 or older individual, walking 5,000 steps per day might be considered as highly active.

2. Keep in mind that all of these 'estimates of activity' are simply that - opinions.

In my opinion, the bar is set so high for activity that it's overwhelming to some individuals who are yearning to get to a higher state of health. ANY activity is better than none.

3. Excessive activity can lead to health issues that rival the health issues associated with inactivity.

Every day we're seeing athletes, weight lifters, runners and other who are highly active undergoing knee and hip replacements. The body isn't a machine. It's human flesh and blood.

The joints and skeletal system were created for movement - but overuse can result in major health woes, just as under use can produce like-issues.

Health Goals & Activity

1. Activity can assist in managing our body weight. If we get a bit too frisky at meal time - or snack time and consume more food that we should have, it's time for a walkabout.

We can burn off a good many of the excess calories through a good walk - or any other activity that we enjoy.

But if we went overboard in a significant way, we won't be able to burn off all the excess calories which will go unused by our body. We'll need to be good for the next day or two in order to avoid those excess pounds staying glued to the body.

2. Exercise and activity assist in the development of stronger, larger bones - in addition to more muscle mass. When the body consists of more muscle mass, it requires more calories to support.

* Simply put, the leaner individual can enjoy more food than the overweight individual without putting on pounds.

3. Activity strengthens the body and the heart. It assists in relieving stress. It can also increase our life span and impact our state of health.

However, excessive exercise is generally accompanied with negative health effects.

In Summary

Make exercise part of your daily life to enhance your health - but take care not to go overboard.
