In fact, some weight loss programs include a short one- to two-week introductory phase where your eating is more restricted and weight loss happens more quickly. You may lose 3 to 5 pounds during this stage.

When you cut back on your food intake, and especially when you cut back on your carbohydrate intake, your body loses a lot of water and your weight plummets as a result. The new number on the scale may provide a boost of motivation. But it's also important to keep those results in perspective. </p><p>To lose weight and keep it off you need to lose fat, not water. And it's important to conserve muscle mass to maintain a healthy metabolism. Experts agree that the best way to reach these goals is to lose weight gradually with steady changes to your diet and exercise plan.</p><h3>Exercise for Weight Loss</h3><p>Many successful dieters exercise to lose weight, but adding physical activity can also make you more hungry during the day, increase fatigue, and even cause injury. It's important to start slowly and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161111162852/https://www.verywell.com/weekly-workout-plans-to-lose-weight-3495597" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="28">build a weight loss workout plan</a> for improved health and fitness.</p><p>Before you start any exercise program, you should check with your doctor to make sure that you are healthy enough for vigorous activity. Once you have been cleared, then you can build a program based on activities that you enjoy. Maybe you'd like to start a walking program for weight loss. You can also choose activities like <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161111162852/https://www.verywell.com/swimming-for-beginners-weight-loss-advice-3496001" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="29">swimming</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161111162852/https://www.verywell.com/how-to-lose-weight-on-your-bike-3495984" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="30">biking</a>, or even <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161111162852/https://www.verywell.com/is-fencing-good-exercise-4069762" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="31">fencing to lose weight</a>. </p><p>If you're not sure where to begin, you can <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161111162852/https://www.verywell.com/how-to-look-like-a-pro-at-the-gym-3495392" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="32">join a gym</a> or hire a personal trainer to get help.

Your daily steps and non-workout movement (like gardening and doing the laundry) can make a big difference in your weight loss plan. So as you build an exercise program, try to stay as active as possible at work, at home, and when you travel. </p><h3>Weight Loss Supplements and Alternative Treatments</h3><p>As you hit challenges and plateaus in your weight loss journey, you may be tempted to try diet supplements, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161111162852/https://www.verywell.com/herbal-supplements-for-weight-loss-3495269" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="35">herbal treatments for weight loss</a>, and other alternative methods to lose weight. Some of these options work, but unfortunately, many of them don't.</p><p>There are very few diet pills that have been proven to help you lose weight. Most weight loss medications that work can only be prescribed by your physician. The diet pills and herbal treatments you see on store shelves are often ineffective and, in some cases, may even cause harm. Talk to your doctor and ask important questions before taking any diet pill or weight loss supplement.</p><p>You'll also find <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161111162852/https://www.verywell.com/natural-weight-loss-methods-3495761" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="36">complementary or alternative treatments</a>, like acupuncture, meditation, or massage for weight loss.

At these moments, diet support is essential for long-term success. </p><p>At the beginning of your weight loss process, you may find it helpful to share your goals with friends and family members who might be willing to help. Your spouse, your children, neighbors, coworkers, close friends, and even members of your religious community may be willing to cheer you on when the going gets tough.</p><p>But if you don't have a network nearby, there are still options to get help. Your health care provider can provide important medical support for your weight loss journey. They can also provide referrals to a registered dietitian, physical therapist, or behavioral health specialist to help you address challenges as they arise.</p><p>There are also online communities to help you through the rough patches.
