A Saner Mindset For Weight Loss

The way many of us think about weight loss is totally counter-productive. Focus on healthy habits you can sustain instead of the numbers on the scale.

Here's what to remember:

- Forget goal weights. Instead, focus on behavioral goals.

- Start with small changes and let them snowball.

- A loss of only 3% of your body weight can meaningfully improve your health.

- Remember that your best weight is the one you reach when you live the healthiest life you can actually enjoy.
