Managing Weight Loss

The holidays are behind us, and New Year’s resolutions are set. For many of us, losing those pesky post-party pounds is high up on our list.

  • The New Year is a great time to begin working with a Health Coach to manage your weight loss. After all, managing weight loss is a combination of smart eating and physical activity, all of which your Health Coach can help you with. Health Coaching is free, just one of many reasons to begin today.
  • When’s the last time you did an inventory of what’s on your shelves and in your fridge? You’ll have a hard time losing weight if your pantry doesn’t have healthy options for you to choose from. Assess your food situation at home, and when you’re ready to go grocery shopping, follow the simple steps in the video below.

Tips to Jumpstart Weight Loss
  • Get moving! Think simple, like walking or light strength training. Even a few minutes can boost your energy levels and help you build up to more regular exercise.
  • Drink water and beat the bloat. Flush your body of too much salt that often comes with holiday treats.
  • Eat lightly. Don’t starve yourself to make up for overindulging. Go for lighter fare like salads, soups, and fruits.
  • Make a plan. Channel that post-holiday guilt into action. Your Health Coach can help you create an exercise and eating regimen that’s right for you.
