‘I weigh myself every day’
‘Almost all advice for reducing your cardiovascular risk includes recommendations for diet, weight reduction, exercise programs, and stress reduction. But I’ve found that patients often don’t internalize these recommendations—because they fail to incorporate them into their daily routine. One simple thing I do to make sure I’m at a lean weight is to set a target weight and then weigh myself daily to make sure I’m maintaining it.’ — Steven Tabak, MD, FACC, medical director at Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute
