# 66 - It's Still Eat Less, Move More

Since I began the Efrat Women's Health Center eight months ago, my thoughts have evolved to the words of nutritionist Judy Kizer and social worker Aliza Shapiro - Eat Less, Move More. Well, they didn't actually say that, but they've guided us into making healthier eating choices and making up our minds to get exercise. I once wrote, "Exercise is the key," and it really is. It's the key to losing weight and to preventing a whole slew of diseases and health issues.
Today I read an article in the Jerusalem Post that validated everything we've been learning at the Efrat Women's Health Center.
And what's more, although fad diets claim the loss of tens of kilos in only a few weeks, the study by the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center written about in the Jerusalem Post confirm, "...the old tried and true methods of eating less fat and exercising are some of the most effective paths to weight loss success."
Furthermore, the study explained, "Additionally we found a correlation between joining weight loss programs and greater reported weight loss, which may speak to the importance of structure in a weight loss regimen."
So, I guess the members of the Women's Health Center are on the right track, B"H.
Diet and exercise, and a terrific framework of support, encouragement and good fun.
