Adjust our caloric intake and exercise level to maintain a desirable body weight. If we need to reduce, aim for gradual weight loss by lowering your caloric intake and increasing our exercise level.

Eat protein in moderation. Favor fish and skinless poultry. Experiment with soy and beans as a protein source. Aim for 5½ ounces of protein-rich foods a day; count ¼ cup of cooked beans or tofu, ½ ounce of nuts or seeds, or one egg as equivalent to 1 ounce of cooked fish or cooked lean meat or poultry.
