My Weight Doctor® Offers Tips to Jump start Your Weight Loss Program this Fall
(College Park, Md) – With the sun setting a little sooner, cooler weather approaching and the kids going back to school the autumn season presents the perfect opportunity to renew your commitment to healthy living. The weight management experts at My Weight Doctor(R) suggest you start with your lunch hour and create a support network to help you meet your goals.
“Whether you brown bag it or eat out, an important step in weight management is planning your lunch,” says Nicole Babka CPT, CFT Program Manager of Nutrition and Fitness Therapies My Weight Doctor® Medical Weight Loss Centers. “Healthy living begins with healthy eating and the more support you have the easier it is to develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle.”
The medical weight loss professionals at My Weight Doctor® recommend developing a group of reliable co-workers for as a Lunch Bunch. The responsibility of the Lunch Bunch is to develop a strategy which will support the goals of all its members. The first step is to identify healthy eating choices for everyone in the group.
“When developing a lunch meal strategy foods with color are always the best choices,” said Babka. “For those who pack their lunch remember to bring a salads, fruit, and vegetables. If the group decides to eat out, order dishes with whole grains and fish, such as tuna fish with lemon juice. Water is the ideal beverage but try a variation with of tea with no calorie sweeteners. Also, anything grilled is your friend when ordering.”
In addition to a lunchtime meal plan, maximize your time by planning to exercise a few days a week during your lunch break. Enjoy the fall weather by taking a walk outside. It is an excellent form of exercise and a great way to release stress in the middle of the workday. If the weather is raining take an umbrella and a friend. A pedometer is also a good investment.
