Losing weight\u00a0is hard\u00a0<\/span>, both mentally and physically. New science shows that when the body starts to lose substantial amounts<\/a> of weight, it fights viciously\u00a0to realize\u00a0<\/span>it back. But despite the biological roadblocks,\u00a0many\u00a0<\/span>people are successful at losing weight and keeping it off over the\u00a0future\u00a0<\/span>. Health | Health Care | Best Weight Loss.

But how? As\u00a0a part of\u00a0<\/span>its recent exploration of the new science<\/a> of weight loss, TIME asked 9 weight loss and obesity experts their best advice for\u00a0people that\u00a0<\/span>try\u00a0<\/span>to\u00a0reduce\u00a0<\/span>. Here are their top tips for what works when it\u00a0involves\u00a0<\/span>slimming down.

Cut out soda
\u201cAvoid all sugary drinks, as\u00a0they supply\u00a0<\/span>\u2019empty calories\u2019 that don\u2019t fill you up. The sugar may uniquely<\/a> act on the liver\u00a0to supply\u00a0<\/span>belly fat.\u201d

\u2014Dr. Dean Schillinger, chief of the University of California,\u00a0San Francisco\u00a0<\/span>Division of General\u00a0<\/a>general medicine<\/span>

Don\u2019t\u00a0specialise in\u00a0<\/span>calories

Keep it basic
\u201cThe simple message is to eat a healthful diet and\u00a0to interact\u00a0<\/span>in additional\u00a0<\/span>moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. The challenge is\u00a0the way to\u00a0<\/span>actually accomplish that in an environment that seems to push us constantly\u00a0within the\u00a0<\/span>wrong direction.\u201d
