Weight Loss/Weight Management Techniques Used

Weight Loss and Food Journaling

The best way to utilize a food journal as part of a weight loss plan, is to write down everything you eat and drink. Yes, I said everything. That includes the amounts. You would be well advised to understand what a serving is when you read a food label. I recommend you write down the foods and amounts right at the time you’re eating or right afterward.

Additionally, to succeed in your weight loss and often in weight management, write down your level of hunger (or non-hunger) when you begin eating and your level of hunger or lack thereof when you finish eating. Also make a note of your mental state. Are you eating because your stressed, bored…etc…

Two easier ways to lose weight or maintain weight are to keep a food journal, which forces you to pay attention to your intake and reasoning and meal replacement. There are many other tools available, but this is a good place to start (or continue your efforts).

Medications
Appetite suppressants (phentermine, phendimetrazine) will be used when indicated. Supplements will be given on a per case basis and all will be according to your personal medical history and exam.

Exercise
Weight loss and weight management generally requires some level of physical exercise. Whether you walk briskly, or do other forms of exercise, the key is to make it a part of your new lifestyle! A little goes a long way and we can suggest various types of activity that can help you shed pounds, but also improve your overall health and fitness. Remember, weight loss and management is a combo platter of sorts! Mind and body working together to achieve success.
