A dietitian's plan for the best way to lose weight quickly

Dropping weight quickly might not be the most sustainable way to reach or maintain a healthier weight.    But if initially, noticeable weight loss provides the morale boost you need to develop better eating habits, here's what to consider, says registered dietitian Samantha Cassetty.    For the most rapid results, limit heavily processed foods that tend to be high in sodium, added sugars or refined grains — or a combo of the three. While you shouldn't cut whole grains, you may have to readjust your portion sizes and eat less of them than you're used to eating.   Fill your plate with non-starchy veggies and other whole foods since a fiber-rich diet promotes weight loss.    Follow the link to see what a typical day's menu might look like on this plan.  Get the story!
