Top 8 Safety Tips for Grilling

Keeping these tips in mind, you’ll be able to grill safely all year long.

  1. Use a high-quality stainless steel brush or scraper to clean your grill. Poor-quality scrapers may lose metal bristles that can sometimes be extremely harmful if accidentally consumed with your grilled food.

  2. After the grill has been cleaned, wipe it down with a damp rag and oil the grates. Now the grill is ready for pre-heating!

  3. Monitor the grill area, shielding children from the hot grill.

  4. Keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold.

  5. Marinate cold foods in the refrigerator.

  6. Keep a food tent or breathable covering over cooked food to keep out insects.

  7. Toss out any food left out for more than 2 hours. “When in doubt, throw it out.”

  8. If barbequing away from home, make sure food is properly stored in cold containers. Don’t forget the antibacterial wipes!

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.
