Lose weight before summer ends with Medical Weight Loss Clinic

You can uncover a healthier, happier you before the summer ends. Find out how at Medical Weight Loss Clinic.

Imagine looking and feeling your best for this year’s holiday parties or that winter beach vacation you just booked. The summer wind down is the perfect time to start working toward that goal with a personalized Medical Weight Loss Clinic plan.

Donna Davies from our Chesterfield Township clinic shares why this season is an excellent time to start your program and how it can lead to success by the holidays.

Live your healthiest and happiest this summer with help from Medical Weight Loss Clinic.

Starting a program at Medical Weight Loss Clinic now offers a unique advantage. As Donna points out, “All of our programs are based on regular grocery store foods. Summer is a great time for grocery shopping as the fresh produce is delicious and less expensive.” 

This makes it a great time to enjoy a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables in your meal plan and even try something new that may not always be available.

If you’re feeling more motivated to start your weight loss journey this summer, you’re not alone. The availability of fresh produce along with longer days and warmer weather encourage people to be more active and health conscious.

“Individual moods tend to be better when there's more daylight each day,” Donna says. “Their positive energy and outlook improve.”

She adds that people are also motivated by a heightened awareness of their appearance and weight in the summer.

“Warm weather clothing shows every trouble spot, unlike covering up with bulky sweaters in the cooler months,” she says.

Donna emphasizes the importance of starting your weight loss journey now, highlighting the almost-immediate results you can see. 

“Eating healthy gives you more energy. Skin glows with increased water intake. Losing weight and limiting salt lowers blood pressure and relieves common aches and pains,” she adds.

The sooner you begin, the sooner you can experience these positive changes, enhancing your overall well-being. By starting now, you also give yourself a head start to reach major milestones and celebrate your achievements during the holiday season.

“The key is to start; progress begins right away,” Donna says. “Holidays and special dates are an awesome motivator. Imagine going to that class reunion or neighborhood get-together 10-20 pounds lighter, one to two sizes smaller.”

If you’re ready to take advantage of all that starting your weight loss journey in the summer has to offer, schedule your free consultation today at MWLC.com. Let’s make this summer the beginning of a healthier, happier you!

Herb-and-Produce Pairings: Basic Rules

Cooking with fresh herbs can be daunting at first. Here’s how to gain confidence in the technique while boosting the flavors of your foods.

Start small. Begin by sprinkling 1 to 2 Tbsp. of a chopped fresh herb over a simple dish (for four people) or a big plate of steamed vegetables. This amount will give you an idea of the flavor an herb imparts without overwhelming the recipe. 

Go bigger and bolder. Like what you taste? Try increasing the herb amounts. Big on flavor, you won’t miss added salt, sugars or fats. Play around with sizes as well. Tear herb leaves instead of chopping them or dust a dish with a fluffy chiffonade

Switch things up. Swapping out your herbs can completely transform a recipe. Try new herbs in place of old favorites. Sub basil for mint in a tomato salad, try tarragon in place of dill, and add cilantro in place of parsley. Enjoy!

Medical Weight Loss Clinic makes mindful eating easier for everyone

Learn how to eat mindfully, and why it matters for a healthier life.

It can be hard to slow down and enjoy a meal rather than eating on the go or while sitting at your desk, more focused on the work on your screen than the food on your plate. But eating mindfully is a healthy habit that can boost success on your Medical Weight Loss Clinic program.

Make time to eat without distractions and you’ll see benefits.

Jamie Nunez, manager of our Perrysburg clinic, says mindful eating is about savoring each bite, relishing the aroma, and appreciating the visual appeal of your meal.

How to Eat Mindfully

According to the Cleveland Clinic, it should take 20 to 30 minutes to complete a meal. So to begin a mindful eating habit, make sure you give yourself enough time to eat without rushing or distractions. Skip watching TV or scrolling social media while you eat to help you stay focused on your food.

To slow down, try chewing each mouthful 15 to 30 times and putting down your fork between bites. Taking a small sip of water between every few bites can help you slow down and feel fuller too.

Benefits of Mindful Eating

By taking small bites and chewing thoroughly, you allow your brain the time it needs to register feelings of fullness, which prevents you from overeating. It’s easier for your body to break down smaller bits of food than large chunks, which reduces the chances of heartburn. When you eat slower, you are also less likely to swallow air, which cuts your risk of indigestion and bloating. Jamie notes that your body is better able to absorb nutrients when you eat mindfully as well.

Mindful eating goes hand in hand with a customized Medical Weight Loss Clinic program.

“Mindful eating works well with our program because we are teaching what to eat and portion sizes, but to be able to make it a lifestyle, you need to enjoy it. Mindful eating makes enjoying food a lot easier,” she says.

For support in your weight loss journey and learning how to mindfully eat and enjoy healthy food, schedule your free consultation at MWLC.com today.

Warm up to weight loss success this summer

Does steamy summer weather make weight loss simpler? Our experts share why now is the perfect time to start a personalized program.

Summer brings warm weather and ideal conditions for losing weight. At Medical Weight Loss Clinic, we see an influx of patients during spring and summer, motivated by swimsuits and vacations, and inspired by seasonal fresh produce and more opportunities for outdoor exercise. Fortunately, this seasonal motivation goes hand-in-hand with proven benefits the summer season has on weight loss.

Ashley Bronson, clinic manager at Medical Weight Loss Clinic in Southgate, shares why summer is the perfect season to reach your health goals.

Ashley Bronson of our Southgate clinic, one of 27 locations across Michigan and Ohio, says warm weather has several positive impacts on our ability to lose weight. They include:

·      Improved Digestion: Warm weather often encourages people to stay hydrated, which can improve digestion. Drinking plenty of water helps maintain healthy bowel movements and reduces bloating.

·      Increased Physical Activity: Longer daylight hours and warmer weather encourage people to engage in more outdoor physical activities such as walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, and outdoor sports. This increased activity level helps you burn more calories and promotes weight loss.

·      Lighter Eating Habits: Higher temperatures can lead to a reduced appetite, resulting in lower caloric intake, which can help weight loss. You may also notice that you prefer lighter meals such as salads and fruits in warmer weather. Lighter meals, along with the abundance of seasonal fruits and vegetables can lead to healthier eating habits. These foods are typically lower in calories, high in nutrients and easier to digest, all benefits on your weight loss journey. 

·      More Social Engagements: Do you have any weddings or graduation parties coming up this summer? Gatherings with friends? Warm weather often leads to more social events and outdoor gatherings, which can provide motivation to achieve or maintain a healthy weight. 

·      Improved Mood and Energy: Exposure to sunlight can enhance mood and energy levels, reducing the likelihood of emotional eating and promoting a more active lifestyle.

·      Slight Increase in Metabolism: Your body may expend a bit more energy to cool itself through sweating and other thermoregulatory processes, leading to an increase in metabolism. However, this increase is usually minimal, so don’t focus too much on this for summer weight loss.

To make the most of summer’s benefits on weight loss, contact us today for your free consultation at MWLC.com. Our experienced team is eager to hear your weight loss goals and to create a customized plan to help you achieve them.

Yes! You can snack while on your Medical Weight Loss Clinic program

Feeling a snack attack coming on? What and when you eat matters. But Medical Weight Loss Clinic professionals can help you make healthier decisions, avoid hunger pangs and see lasting results.

When we’re working hard to lose weight, so many factors come into play. A healthier weight comes from a balance of lifestyle changes. It’s not just which foods we eat or how much exercise we get – though those are important pieces. Jamie Parnell, manager at the White Lake location of Medical Weight Loss Clinic, says when we eat can also impact our progress.

Medical Weight Loss Clinic patients may be surprised to find out snacking – the right way – is encouraged for a healthier diet.

Patients who seek the guidance of our professional staff may be surprised to find out that snacking is allowed on the Medical Weight Loss Clinic plan.

 

“Snacking between meals is encouraged with healthy choices,” Jamie says.

In some cases, she adds, it will even help with weight loss!

It all comes down to nurturing your metabolism - the chemical reactions that change the food we consume into the energy we need every day. It turns out, when we snack can be nearly as important as what kind of foods we consume each day when it comes to weight loss or maintenance. Don’t wait until hunger strikes.

“Eating every couple of hours improves your metabolism,” Jamie says. “It also helps with digestion and prevents you from feeling too full.”

Of course, continuous snacking isn’t recommended. It doesn’t allow your digestion time to do its work. Yet, planning to eat a healthy meal or snack every 2 to 4 hours can keeps patients satisfied and able to make better food choices.

“Vegetables and fruits are great to snack on when you’re hungry,” Jamie adds. “They provide your body energy and are high in fiber to keep you fuller longer. Snacking on foods that are low in sugar and calories are always healthy choices.”

Sugary or processed foods might sound enticing. While they might provide an initial boost of energy, without any nutritious value, they work against our healthy goals. Instead, find inspiration for your next snack among our recipes or supplements.

When it comes to snacking, it’s best to stick to daytime hours. There’s a scientific reason why.

“We recommend you stop eating about 2 hours before bed to make sure your body has time to burn off foods as energy instead of storing them as fat,” Jamie says.

Keep these simple snacking tips in mind to keep your metabolism and digestion working toward a healthier weight. Let us know how it’s going.

Are you looking for support on your own health journey? We’ve got personalized programs and a friendly, knowledgeable staff that can help you reach those goals. Why wait? Reach out your free consultation at MWLC.com

Ask a Nutritionist: How important is protein to weight loss?

Did you ever wonder why protein is so important to your daily diet? Find out what we learned in our series: Ask a Nutritionist.

At Medical Weight Loss Clinic, we have professionals who specialize in different areas of health and wellness and work directly with patients to reach their goals. We’ll be checking in periodically with our highly-trained nutritionists to answer common health questions and concerns. It’s a new series we call Ask a Nutritionist.

How do you know if you’re getting enough protein? Ask a Nutritionist at Medical Weight Loss Clinic and find out.

First up is Krysta Sauvie, a regional manager here at Medical Weight Loss Clinic. She’s often busy training and working directly with our staff. Krysta travels among seven clinic locations – Saginaw, Flint, Rochester Hills, Farmington Hills, Novi, Brighton and White Lake. She also happens to be a nutritionist.

We count on Krysta to assist patients and staff by sharing her in-depth nutritional knowledge. We reached out to her to ask about something our patients work to get plenty of in their daily diets – protein.

How important is protein, really?

“Protein is essential to healthy diet and is so important for weight loss,” Krysta says. “It helps keep people fuller longer, which can also reduce cravings. It can even increase the amount of calories you burn throughout the day.”

Why is it especially important for patients to make sure they’re getting enough protein?

“Having a diet adequate in protein intake will also ensure that you are preserving lean muscle mass while you burn your body fat,” Krysta adds.

How do we determine what is “enough” protein each day?

“Here at Medical Weight Loss Clinic, we make sure to calculate how much an individual will need of each macronutrient so you don’t have to worry,” she says. “But for someone trying to change their eating habits, I would recommend having a moderate amount of lean protein with each meal.”

A moderate amount might be the equivalent of a handful portion of protein. But there’s more to consider. Krysta reminds us that while protein is healthy, it’s not something you can eat without limits.

“Although protein can help prevent overeating by increasing satiety, eating too much protein can lead to weight gain,” she says. “It’s important to consume a well-balanced diet with all food groups represented to best increase weight loss and your chance of maintaining it.”

Do you want to learn more about how to incorporate a healthy amount of protein into your diet? Reach out to us at Medical Weight Loss Clinic today. Sign up for a free consultation at mwlc.com.

Medical Weight Loss Clinic introduces Slim Mist to curb food cravings

Medical Weight Loss Clinic adds helpful supplements to our clinics to address patient concerns. Ask us about our latest, Slim Mist. It enhances weight loss and curbs cravings.

Medical Weight Loss Clinic is excited to announce the launch of our latest supplement, Slim Mist, designed to help enhance your weight loss journey by curbing your appetite and cravings.

“Medical Weight Loss Clinic always strives to provide our patients with a variety of different products to help enhance their weight loss success,” says Jordan Stewart, Medical Weight Loss Clinic business analyst. “Our patients often request an over-the-counter supplement option to help curb their appetite and cravings and Slim Mist is a great product to fit that need.”

Slim Mist is now available at all Medical Weight Loss Clinic locations.

What is Slim Mist?

Slim Mist is a spray that delivers key ingredients known to control appetite, boost normal metabolism, and support mood and sleep quality. It uses a sublingual  - or under the tongue - delivery system for optimal absorption.

Who Can Benefit from Slim Mist?

Jordan says Slim Mist is particularly beneficial for patients with the following challenges:

●      Struggle with hunger and cravings.

●      Have trouble sleeping.

●      Experience low energy levels.

●      Need a mood boost.

What to Expect

Results with Slim Mist vary from person to person. Jordan says many patients report a noticeable decrease in appetite and an increase in energy levels. She experienced immediate results of reduced cravings for carbs and sweets.

Active Ingredients in Slim Mist

Slim Mist includes four active ingredients.

●      5-HTP: This compound is an intermediate in the making of serotonin, which is a crucial neurotransmitter linked to mood regulation, quality of sleep and appetite control. Increased levels of serotonin have been shown to release satiety hormones and block neurons that inhibit satiety.

●      GABA: This amino acid and powerful neurotransmitter is linked to relaxation and stress reduction. Studies indicate that GABA intake can boost growth hormone levels by up to 400 percent, promoting lean body mass through lipolysis and protein synthesis.

●      L-Carnitine: L-Carnitine is essential for normal energy metabolism. Supplementing with it has been shown to stimulate lipolysis, leading to increased fat burning and ATP production. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the primary energy carrier in cells, fueling various biological processes.

●      Vitamin B6: A vital co-factor in over 100 chemical reactions in the body, Vitamin B6 helps produce amino acids and neurotransmitters, including the conversion of 5-HTP to serotonin.

How to Use Slim Mist

As a dietary supplement, the recommended dosage is six sprays daily, taken under the tongue. Hold the spray under your tongue for 20 seconds before swallowing to ensure optimal absorption.

Where to Find Slim Mist

Conveniently for our patients, Slim Mist is exclusively available at all our clinics.

At MWLC, we are committed to providing a variety of products to support your weight loss success. To get started on your weight loss journey and learn more about Slim Mist, schedule your free consultation at MWLC.com.
