Weight Loss

A recent report stated that nearly 50% of Americans added "Weight Loss" to their list of New Year's Resolutions year after year. There are many reasons that weight loss may be difficult. Weight loss shouldn't be about just being thin - it is about health, total body wellness, feeling good and having energy!

Last night Dr. Brimhall shared a few tips and tricks to help assist in this process. There may be an interference with your body that is an underlying issue to your weight. You may want to consider having a blood panel done, suggested by Dr. Brimhall or Dr. Martinsen to get a more clear picture of what is going on with you. We offer the panel at discount prices through our office.
Along with checking out what may be happening on the inside of your body, there are things you can do outwardly to make your body healthy, which essentially will help you loose and keep off weight.

Keep a regular schedule.
- Go to bed at the same time every night, to ensure you get the best sleep without tossing and turning.
- A healthy eating schedule puts you in control because it helps you avoid surprises. You plan out your meals and snacks ahead of time, and you eat them at scheduled times throughout the day.

Choose the best.
There are many foods that are good, but are you choosing what is the best. Remember there are good, better and best choices. Yogurt can be good for you but check the ingredients to find the best.

No excuses.
Weight loss isn't an easy feat! It's proven that the 'fast track diets' where you loose a lot of weight in a minimal amount of time shows that weight is gained back. Often times it is a lifestyle change, not a quick fix. We've heard people blame their weight on genetics. Where this may be partially true most of it has to do with our environment and what we surround ourselves with. Again....choose good, better and best!

Find your motivation.
Set your goals and reward yourself for reaching them. Find what works for you and what keeps you motivated to keep the weight and increase your energy!

Call and make an appointment with Andrea in our office to create and set goals for your meal plan! If you are interested in the fliers handed out at last night's class let us know!
