successful weightloss plans include a wellbalanced diet and exercise.people who want to avoid weight gain have to balance the number of calories they eat with the number of calories they use.to lose weight，you can reduce the number of calories you take in，or increase the number you use，or both.experts at the national institutes of health say to lose weight，a person should do some moderate or intensive physical exercise most days of the week.this could include fast walking，sports or strength training.a recent study looked at four of the most popular dieting plans in the united states.researchers at stanford university studied more than three hundred overweight women，mostly in their thirties or forties.each woman went on one of the four plans：atkins，the zone，ornish or learn.the women attended diet classes and received written information about the food plans.at the end of a year，the women on the atkins diet had lost the most，more than four and a half kilograms on average.christopher gardner led the study，reported in the journal of the american medical association. he said the atkins diet may be more successful because of its simple message to lower the intake of sugar.also，he said the advice to increase protein in the diet leads to more satisfying meals.but last week，another report suggested that only a small minority of people have longterm success in dieting.researchers at the university of california found that most dieters regained their lost weight within five years.and often they gained back even more.but those who kept the weight off generally were the ones who exercised.56all the following is helpful to lose weight except_.aa healthy dietbphysical exercisecmedical interventions dbeing polite to others 57you are most likely to

bobs performance began to slowly decline when his mother fell ill. he was doing badly in each and every subject when his mother died leaving him alone with his father, who was a businessman and had to travel always. apart from his performance worsening gradually, bobs nature too began to change. he had forgotten to laugh and showed no interest in any activity. all his friends had abandoned him. one

spend time with him. bob improved a lot over the next semester, showing definite signs of progress in his performance. on a friday, bob came up to ms miller, handed her a box and requested her to open the box on sunday. on sunday morning, curious, she opened it and saw a bottle of perfume, half filled. together with it was a small letter, saying that this bottle of perfume used to be his mothers and he wished ms miller to wear it so that every time she was around, he could feel his mom near him. he thanked her for everything. ms miller took the bottle of perfume in her hand and saw a new tag
