Avoid holiday pounds and maintain a healthy weight with Medical Weight Loss Clinic

We’re in that challenging stretch of time between Thanksgiving and the New Year. It’s a time when the average American gains a few extra pounds. But with Medical Weight Loss Clinic, it’s possible to avoid any weight gain - and even lose extra pounds, if you’re looking to do so.

Learn how to eat healthy and maximize your energy without gaining weight this holiday season. Medical Weight Loss Clinic professionals like Mary Pierce, our Ann Arbor clinic manager, have the answers and support you need.

Mary Pierce, manager at Medical Weight Loss Clinic’s Ann Arbor location, says that now is the time to dive into a dynamic maintenance program. Mary has worked with Medical Weight Loss Clinic in a variety of roles for 31 years. She knows just how to help patients lose or maintain a healthy weight. In fact, nearly 30 percent of her patients in Ann Arbor are currently on a maintenance program.

Here are a few of Mary’s tips to stay healthy, happy and energized throughout the holiday season:

·      Be sure to eat your breakfast. Rev your metabolism up at the start of the day and eat consistent meals to avoid those hunger pangs and to keep you feeling great. If you’re expecting to have a busier day than usual, eat a bigger breakfast to stay fuller, longer.

·      Remember - there’s a 20 minute delay between your stomach and your head. That means by the time you’re hungry, you’ve been hungry for a while. And if you eat too quickly, you might eat more than you need and feel too full and tired. So, instead of rushing through a meal, focus on your food. Chew bites thoroughly and slowly. Fill a smaller plate. And eat on time so you don’t over-eat.

·      Break the cycle. When we’re stressed, we tend to reach for high fat foods that actually make us more tired. Stick to healthy foods and a regular schedule and you’ll see your energy soar.

“Our patients change their habits,” Mary  says. “They start looking at food differently. Energy increases and they are happier.”

There’s a strong connection between our eating and exercise habits and how we feel. At Medical Weight Loss Clinic, professionals - like Mary – help our patients one-on-one to fit these into their lifestyle. When it comes to exercise it’s not how much you do necessarily it’s how often you do it, she says. When patients adopt the proper eating plan, they obtain much more energy and stamina. And that makes exercise easier to incorporate into a regular habit.

“At Medical Weight Loss Clinic we help you find the right balance so you can burn fat for energy,” she adds. “You’ll lose inches just where you need to.”

These tips all make maintaining a healthy weight that much easier. Medical Weight Loss Clinic offers one-year dynamic maintenance programs that help patients navigate challenges in every season, so those new habits stick.

When you enroll in a Medical Weight Loss Clinic program, the length of your program will be determined by you and the staff based on the amount of weight you want to lose and how quickly you want to lose it. Your actual weight loss will be determined by many factors, including, but not limited to: your medical circumstances, the plan you choose, adherence to the meal plan and use of nutritional supplements. Your goal and program duration information will be given to you in writing at the time of enrollment. As your program progresses, the rate you lose weight may change and you will have the opportunity to discuss this at every daily visit with your weight loss consultant, where changes to your meal plan and/or program can be made.
