By Milos Pesic
Since the time when was revealed to have such major health problems, many strategies have merged to counter the problem. The core treatment to counter is an increase in exercise and a low-energy diet. There is approximately an average of 8% weight loss. However, the response to dieting and exercise vary. A simple diet change may be effective to one person but a drug therapy may be more effective to another. To determine a suitable therapy for obesity, you must begin with the simplest and move on to more intense treatments if necessary. The following is a short account of treating with light therapy.

The first step to therapy is counseling to determine a diet and exercise regimen and setting a realistic weight loss goal.

Treating with light therapy is a simple intervention to lose weight. It is a treatment of restricted diet or regular exercise or better yet a combination of both.

The diet must consist of calories fewer than your normal intake. Take in well-balanced meals in appropriate servings, not large ones. Eat foods with a high fiber content such as raw vegetables and fresh fruits. Whole grains are good but be careful in choosing them. Rice is not advisable due to its high-calorie and low-fiber content. Lessen the intake of meat and avoid fatty meat. Do not choose fried dishes. Choose foods that are baked, broiled or steamed. Fast food is not advisable. Avoid soft drinks and high fat desserts such as regular ice cream, chips and the like. Be careful in choosing low-fat products, they may just cause you gain weight. Organic and fresh is better. Keep in mine that you require a light, lean and low-fat meal.

Exercise is important. Treating with light therapy is better accomplished with regular exercise. Exercise will burn the excess fat and help maintain a healthy weight. It also contribute to good mental health. Begin with changing travel modes. If your destination is near enough, brisk walk or ride a bike instead of driving. Take the stairs instead of using escalators and elevators. Exercise for at least 20 minutes at 4 to 5 times a week. Taking up a sport would do you good. The important thing is to exercise no matter how small you start with. Its already a good start by treating with light therapy.

Patience and faith is important to battling obesity. If treating with light therapy does not result to a healthy weight and good overall health at the beginning, be patient and have faith. Giving up will

not bring you anywhere. You must believe in yourself that you can achieve your goal .
