Weight Management Tips

  • Lose weight: Not surprisingly, this straightforward advice tops doctors’ recommendations year in and year out. It’s more than worth the effort. Losing just 10 percent of your weight lowers your risk of heart disease and dramatically improves your overall health.
  • Determined to exercise more? To help maintain your fitness focus, get a buddy. Teaming up with a friend with similar goals and/or health challenges can be a great source of motivation, as well as accountability, for you both.
  • Skipping meals before a special occasion can lead to unwise decisions at the buffet table. Take the edge off your appetite with a low-fat protein snack or a few pieces of fruit, or eat healthful mini-meals throughout the day.
  • If facing a holiday table laden with calorie-rich sweets is your downfall, try spicing things up. Reaching for pickled, savory or spicy snacks instead may put a stop to your sugar fixation – or at least curb your craving for a while.
  • Party time? Sipping a glass of water for every alcoholic drink will help you feel full and avoid dehydration. To avoid drinking all your calories, opt for a festive wine spritzer (half white wine/sparkling water) rather than high-calorie mixed drinks.
  • When you’re navigating a sumptuous holiday buffet, hold your plate or your drink in your dominant hand. This simple trick forces you to focus on your food choices, and works especially when the menu is mostly finger foods.
  • Experts say obesity often “runs in the family” because parents pass on unhealthy eating habits, such as oversize portions and high-fat junk food, to their children. If you need help watching what you eat, remember this: Your kids are watching you.
  • Aquatic exercise is a low-cost, low-impact way to tone and strengthen muscles. To keep your water workouts safe and healthy – not to mention more fun – always exercise with a friend, even in your home pool.
  • Often when you think you’re hungry, you are actually just thirsty. Next time you’re in the mood for a snack, drink a glass of water – you may be surprised to find that much of the time your appetite is satisfied. If your hunger persists after 20 minutes, then it is truly time to eat.
  • When traveling, pack nutritious snacks like fresh fruit, protein bars or a trail mix of nuts, seeds and dried fruit. Skipping meals stresses the pancreas and adrenal glands – plus, if hunger pangs get the better of you, you’re more likely to eat a too-heavy meal at day’s end.
