Healthy Weight

MUSC Health has many resources to help you improve your healthy weight. You can read and print information we have gathered on this site. We have audio and video information if you prefer. You can also learn how others have followed these recommendations and reached their personal goals.

Overall, this is your journey. We are here to help you become healthier and enjoy a higher quality of daily living. Let us know how to help.

There are several key daily behaviors to help you lose body fat. These daily points include:

  • Staying physically active
  • Managing the calories you eat
  • Fitting your calorie goals into daily life without special foods
  • How to meet your daily minimum of calories
  • Getting enough water and why this is important
  • Fitting your goals for fat intake into your daily life
  • Spread your calories over the entire day
  • Why the tracking of your eating, activity, and weight are important
  • How to develop a support network in your circle of family and friends

These daily behaviors can be grouped in four categories.
