Keys to successful weight management

Nutrition:

Healthy eating is the foundation for any successful weight management program. There is no “magic” food or diet plan to help you lose weight and body fat, and keep it off. Try hard to avoid eating processed and packaged foods as often as possible. This can be accomplished by shopping the perimeter of the grocery store. Here is where you'll find fruits, vegetables, lean chicken, beef and fish, as well as yogurt, cheese and whole grain products. Moderation and balance is the key, so be mindful of portion sizes and eat a variety of fiber rich fruits and vegetables. 

Exercise:
Those who think they have no time for exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness.

Daily physical activity goes hand in hand with healthy eating for long-term successful weight management. In addition to the weight management benefits of exercise, one can help reduce their risk for many of the chronic diseases that plague our society including heart disease, type 2 diabetes and many forms of Cancer. Exercise should be fun and include activities that involve resistance exercises such as pushups, pull ups, dips and weightlifting, along with aerobic exercises such as running, cycling and swimming. Losing body fat and increasing lean muscle tissue helps to increase your metabolism making you more efficient at burning calories. If you don't build/maintain muscle through strength training, weight loss can come at the expense of lean muscle loss which results in a decrease in metabolism. Make sure to vary your workouts each day to keep it interesting and challenging.

Dietary Supplements:
Dietary supplements in conjunction with healthy eating and regular exercise may help support your weight management and lifestyle goals.
