The nation-wide "number one resolution" that the majority of people make every Jan. 1 is to lose some weight. After 53 years of dieting, I have found 16 healthy, successful steps to share. Basically, it's as simple as adding and subtracting. In order to lose weight, one must subtract or consume fewer calories than what the body needs, while at the same time add the calories that are vital and necessary to one's health. Here are the steps to losing, and then maintaining, ones ideal weight:

1) Ask the Lord to help change your eating habits (Jeremiah 4:13).

2) Subtract by not eating the food while preparing meals.

3) Subtract by serving yourself smaller portions of food.

4) Subtract and refrain from all second helpings of food.

5) Subtract by backing away from the table before one feels full. 6) Subtract by putting all leftovers in the refrigerator. 7) Subtract by eliminating all foods high in sugar, salt, and fat.

8) Subtract by avoiding restaurants and fast food shops.

9) Subtract by grocery shopping when one is not hungry.

10) Subtract by fasting now and then, or even fasting one or two meals a week.

11) Add more fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains when preparing meals. 12) Add by drinking plenty of water throughout the day.

13) Add by eating a piece of fruit when famished.

14) Add by drinking pure concentrated fruit juices to "perk" you up.

15) Add low sugar, low fat, and low salt recipes to your favorite menu file and using them weekly.

16) Add supplements such as herbs, vitamins, and minerals, etc. to your daily diet.

So how do I manage to keep the weight off and still feel strong and healthy? With God's help, I subtract and add calories.

"Then God said 'Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of the earth... it shall be food for you'... behold it was very good." (Genesis 1:29,31)

So to be successful, one must make these steps an on-going lifestyle habit, not a start-and-stop habit.
