Weight Loss Programs
Losing weight can be especially
challenging because temptations are everywhere. When considering a weight loss
program, a few simple questions will help people determine which program is
right for them.
Does the program require the purchase
of prepackaged meals? If so, the costs of the food may be in
addition to other costs of the program. Also, if a participant simply hates the
food, it may become difficult for him or her to stick with the program.
Does the program require attendance
at meetings or appointments with counselors? When starting out on a new endeavor,
it may look like it will be easy to fit meetings into the schedule. However,
things that happen in life take time. It’s a good idea to be realistic
about the time commitment involved with any program. Make sure meetings and
appointments can be scheduled at times that are convenient. The flexibility of any
program can be an important factor in helping participants succeed.
When a question or challenge arises,
can the participant get answers or advice? Questions are going to come up. Also,
participants in any program are going to need advice from time to time. There’s
no way around that. Having fast access to a counselor can make the difference
between a person staying on the course or slipping up in some way.
Does the program include a doctor who
has been trained in nutrition and in the physiology of weight loss? One of the most
important considerations when evaluating any weight loss program is the
training and experience of the practitioner. Since losing weight has so much to
do with your health, it’s very important that the program is medically sound and
is overseen by a qualified doctor who has had the appropriate training and who
is experienced in the field of nutrition and weight loss.
When Joining a Gym
Becoming a member of a gym or fitness
center can be of tremendous help in achieving one’s health and fitness goals.
Being around other people who are also working to become healthier and more fit
makes much more sense than being a couch potato or going to a buffet.
Exercising in an atmosphere where others are exercising and having fun at it
certainly can make the experience more enjoyable. Being around like-minded
people can also be very motivating.
When considering a gym or fitness
center, be sure that it’s open at hours when you can get there. If you’re not
able to get to the place when it’s open, membership is not going to do you much
good. Also, be sure the center has the equipment or classes you want. If
there’s a waiting list to get into a class you want, that class isn’t going to
do you much good. Finally, make sure that the goal you have aligns with the
outcomes one can get from this form of activity. Exercising and lifting weights
can assist in loosing weight but it shouldn’t be the only part of the plan.
See Your Chiropractor!
This is one step that many miss
involving both weight loss and wellness. Your body is going through changes and
it is critical to make sure that the control center of your body, the central
nervous system, is optimized. Only your chiropractor can identify specific
areas that your nervous system is challenged and remove those interferences.
Remember that everything that happens in your body comes from a brain center
command and when that information isn’t flowing freely to the desired location
your body does not have the information to perform its duties. Over time this disorganized
information and dysfunctioning system can lead to problems down the road.
Nutrition is Critical
Eating the right foods is a critical
step as well, there has been so much advancement in nutrition over the past few
years and the old method of “They say it's good” just isn’t leading to success.
It is important to use the proper tools to test and measure specifically why
and what you should develop as a nutritional plan. What is good for them might
not be for you. Remember each of us Gain and Loose weight differently and each
of us need different approaches to address our specific needs in nutrition.
Many Chiropractors, and Medical Doctors offer specialized services that can
assist you in knowing your own specific needs.
Dr. Jon C. Thomas will be speaking on
Saturday, January 9th , 2016, at the New Year, New You Expo, which
is being held at the Adam W. Herbert University Center, 1200 University of
North Florida Alumni Drive on the campus of U.N.F. Dr. Thomas is scheduled to
speak at 10:30 a.m. The event will give participants the opportunity to learn
about the NutriMost program at the Vibrant Life Health Center and to ask any
questions they may have. Admission is free, but registration is required. Get tickets.
Is the program getting results for
other people?
There’s no point in signing up for any program that is
not producing results for people who are already using it. If a program works
for a lot of people, there should be evidence of that. The more people a
program helps, the more likely the program will work for you, especially if the
programs works for people who are just like you. Ask to see testimonials, especially video
testimonials.
Pete lost 35 pounds in 29 days with
NutriMost at the Vibrant Life Health Center
“To me, another significant outcome
was that in this short period of time, I have stopped taking all the
medicines for diabetes. The six pills and two shots per day are gone!
When I travel I no longer need to take those medicines with me. More
importantly, I’m saving hundreds of dollars per month. NutriMost works.”
Kathy lost 25 pounds in 40 days
“You have to be very aware of what
you’re putting in your mouth, but it works. If I could do it, anyone can do
it.”
Dr. Thomas lost 26 pounds in 40 days
“I’ve actually lost weight on
NutriMost myself. My metabolic age was lowered by twenty-four years. My body
fat went down to ten percent. My body is operating at a far better level than
it ever has before. If you’re struggling in any way, shape, or form with weight
loss or fat, or if you are fatigued or simply unhappy with the way you feel,
you can experience an amazing change in your body in just forty days with
NutriMost.”

There's a big difference between joining a gym and making it a part of your routine. Also consider other low impact means of burning calories such as walking and/or bike riding.
