Counseling helps weight loss success

When you're ready to tackle the mother of all projects -- weight loss -- it makes sense to arm yourself with all the tools you can to ensure your project outcome is as grand as possible. After all, it really demoralized you to make all that effort only to end up at the same weight that you were at before.

What helps besides doing research, setting goals, taking measurements and celebrating milestones while you go through the rigors of losing weight? How about talking your methodology through with a dietary counselor before and during the process?

Research says that those who include a dietary counselor as part of their dietary counseling actually got rid of six percent more body weight each year opposed to those who did not include a dietary counselor. Perhaps talking about what you are about to do as well as what you are doing helps you stay on track more? (Health) food for thought here.
