Drink lots of water

Water is the body's most important nutrient. You should drink at least eight 8 oz. glasses of water each day.

Eat a balanced diet

Starvation diets will cause an imbalance in your body and can slow down your metabolism. Only a diet that gives your body everything that it needs can be a healthy way to lose weight.

Take vitamin supplements

When you diet you should talk to your nurse or doctor about what nutritional supplements your body would benefit from to help with your weight loss and overall health.
