Changing your relationship with food: a weight loss success story
These days, it seems everyone is talking about weight loss. As over two-thirds of U.S.
adults are overweight or obese, the trials behind weight loss success stories are often
relatable to those interested in improving their overall health.
One such success story is former fast-food addict Scott Lamm who knew it was time for a
change when he found himself weighing nearly 300 pounds. This was a far cry from the
170 pounds and 31-inch waist he sported in high school. Scott turned to his brother,
Brad Lamm, a board-registered interventionist and member of Dr. Oz's "Dream Team" to
develop a comprehensive program that would not only help him lose weight but also
change his relationship with food in the long term.
"Being overweight is a lot of work in itself because it is hard for your body to carry
around all those extra pounds, so it made sense to me to work to get rid of that extra
weight and make my life better," says Scott, a youthful father of three and grandfather
of two.
Scott gradually began to relearn when to eat, how much and when to stop through a
comprehensive program that included a strong personal support system, healthy diet and
exercise. He was on the road to success - but still had a long way to go - when Brad
suggested he try alli, the only FDA-approved, over-the-counter weight loss aid as a
tool to help him become more conscious of the foods he ate and help boost his weight
loss success.
As Scott took true accountability and dedicated himself to a thoughtful weight loss
program, he was able to lose nearly 100 pounds over a total of 17 months, including
five months using alli.
America's growing obesity crisis
Scott was far from alone in his struggle with weight. Obesity is a growing national
crisis that affects about 72 million U.S. adults and places a staggering $147 billion
strain on the health care system. According to a study recently published in the
American Journal of Preventive Health, obesity is as much of a public health threat as
smoking.
"Many Americans struggle to lose weight, and it can be tempting to try to find a 'quick
fix,'" says Dr. Caroline Apovian, director of the Nutrition and Weight Management
Center and co-director of the Nutrition and Metabolic Support Service at Boston
University Medical Center. "To not only lose weight but keep it off in the long term,
people need to learn a healthier approach to food and overcome habits that may have
been with them for life."
For Scott Lamm, the recipe for weight loss was a comprehensive program combining
support from family and friends, healthy diet and tools to aid in success along the
way. Dr. Apovian shares even more tips to keep in mind for a gradual, sustainable
weight loss program.
* Talk to an expert. Your doctor or dietitian can help you set realistic goals to make
you feel like a winner in the short term and help you stay motivated in the long term.
* Find support. Online or in-person support groups, as well as encouragement from
family and friends, can make all the difference in the world.
* Change your relationship with food: Take a healthier approach to eating by becoming
more conscious of how food choices affect the body.
* Become more active. Work with your doctor to create an exercise plan that's
consistent with your goals and abilities.

3 Ways to Miss Your Goal
OverDo It
Enthusiasm is key when you're trying to lose weight, but jump in headfirst and without any sense of pacing, and you'll likely fail. Any good plan requires good planning; when it comes to weight loss, that means you need sensible goals and a plan of attack that's reasonable, not extreme. Deprive yourself of all your favorite foods or become a slave to the gym, and you'll burn out fast.
make excuses Make Excuses
Whether you're fit as a fiddle or struggling with your weight, we've all had those days when working out and eating right were last on our list. The difference is in the choices we make - to fit in that workout or prepare that healthy meal, regardless of time constraints; or make every excuse imaginable for why we can't. Remember, you're only as busy as you convince yourself you are.
lose focus Lose Focus
Focus is the ultimate tool for achieving any goal; that means focusing on exactly what you're trying to accomplish and then making sure you retain that focus throughout the process. Start off vaguely and with limited direction, and you'll steer south before you know it. Instead, outline how much weight you want to lose, when you want to lose it by, and exactly how you'll get there, step by step.
