This weekly weight loss totals 100 to 150 pounds a year. “Students need to realize that weight loss is not a quick fix,” Prochaska said. “Healthy lifestyle changes, changes you can live with the rest of your life, are key.” While the low-carb diets claim to help you lose weight quickly, most people do not follow the programs through to the end, or keep those habits for life. “Cutting out a good number of carbs may be easy at first,” Prochaska said. “But one must con sider next year, or even live or 10 years down the road.” Walker also suggests that a person find which diet will best fit their lifestyle. “If the diet doesn’t seem like it can become a lifestyle behavior, it’s probably not the best one to get on,” Walker said. While Atkins, South Beach and similar low- carb diets claim to promote healthy, life-long eat ing styles, many experts and organizations dis agree. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the nutritional benefits of carbohy drates and plant-based eating. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend six to 11 servings a day from the bread group, even when try ing to lose weight. "Curbs are necessary to everyone’s diet,” Walker said. “Carbs are your main source of energy.” The Atkins and South Beach dietspro\ij( of the necessary calories each day from foods and few from carbs. “Many times, people are fed upwitE they can’t eat their favorite dish Prochaska said. These diets also allow food such ask cheese, which can raise cholesterol levi increase a person’s risk for heart disease an cer. The American Heart Association urje adults to limit fat intake to no more cent of total daily calories. “Making long-term changes in youreau physical activity habits is the best wa weight and to keep it off,” Walker said, Klein said her schoolworkeventually with her diet program. "The diet did make me tired while has but overall I think it’s a good diet. Ithelf realize how bad you eat,” Klein said. "Ietj quitting the diet because I hadalotoftej week and couldn't keep up with the diet quit, 1 w'ent on a carb-eating binge; thai wanted to eat.” For exercise and weight control, the Am College of Sports Medicine suggests a of 25 to 30 minutes of physical activityaij for best results aim at 45 minutes. “The exercise does not have tobed® once,” George said. "Even try to just an conveniences in life; park further away,or stairs instead of the elevator.” Klein said the Atkins diet has helpedlie trol her portion intake. For instance,non ; one doughnut instead of six, she said, said she has decided diet pills and other fa! aren’t the way to go for her long-term weip, goals, she does admit Atkins isaquickfiv “I would definitely go back on it w anted to lose weight fast,” she said, D Th 1 K Jen Myrtl Col PEOPLE IN THE NEWS Courtney Love ordered to trial in 'silly' felony drug case LOVE BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.
