7 Secrets to Weight Loss

Learn the simple seven secrets to weight loss

Water is Your Friend

You already know that you need to drink plenty of water to promote weight loss, but if you also eat foods that consist mostly of water, you will lose even more weight.  Foods with high water content such as watermelon, celery, cucumber, and lettuce are all good choices.

Take a Multivitamin

One plausible theory as to why multivitamins help promote weight loss is that when your body is low on vitamins and minerals, your appetite fires up prompting you to eat more to replenish the nutrients you’re missing. By staying topped off with nutrients, it may be possible to keep a runaway appetite under control.

Serving Size

One serving of chicken, pork, or fish is about the size of a deck of cards, a serving of rice or pasta should be about the size of half of a tennis ball, and a serving of mixed nuts or peanut butter is only about the size of a standard shot glass.  Be sure that you are eating the correct serving sizes to see the best weight loss results.

Eat at Home For Better Weight Loss

Preparing your own meals at home means that you get to choose exactly what goes into your food and how everything is prepared.  Consider using cooking spray rather than butter, or fat free milk instead of regular milk. And be sure to spice things up… things like hot peppers raise your metabolism, but the real benefit of food with a little zing is that it slows down your eating. Eating slower is a good weight loss strategy, and making food spicier is an easy way to do it.

Exercise

Always remember that you have to burn more calories than you are eating in order to lose weight.  Our weight loss Huntington services can help you take advantage of the classes and equipment at a local gym or health club to really jumpstart your weight loss program.

Small Changes, Big Difference

Making small changes like switching from regular soda or fruit juice to diet sodas or flavored seltzer can really help you achieve weight loss.  Other small changes might be things like taking the stairs whenever possible, using 2% milk in your coffee rather than half & half, or hopping on your bike instead of into your car for a quick trip to the corner store.

Compare Labels

When checking for fat content, you want to see that the food contains relatively little saturated fat and trans fat.  Many fat free and low fat foods have added sugar.  Sugars provided very little nutritional value and it shows up in surprising places like crackers, “healthy” cereals, and salad dressings   Don’t forget to check the sodium content.  A single serving of soup or a frozen dinner may contain 1,000 milligrams or more of sodium, which is nearly half the daily recommended limit.

He is more likely to come to you at night when there aren't as many lawn mower sounds. Walk around with a can of the stinkiest cat food that you can find. Call to him, and listen for a response. He may answer you with soft meows. Make a trail of stinky cat food to your door and leave the can at the door overnight. Hang up signs with a photo in the neighborhood. Go door to door and tell neighbors to call you if they see him. Kids playing, and dog walkers might spot him. Once you have an idea, of where he is, you can use a have a heart trap to catch him, if he won't come to you. Some cats get so scared when they get out, that they don't recognize their humans. We have had cats disappear for months, before trapping them.
