Maintaining a healthy weight is
tough enough. Losing weight is -even
harder, especially on your own. Why not pop in and see us at Community Care
Chemist for your own tailored healthy, weight loss program which includes
weekly visits to keep you on track with ongoing support and advice. We use the Ultralite program which is the
result of many years of medical research and trials. It is designed to provide balanced
amounts of protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and trace elements in the
right combination as you lose weight. You can choose a 5 week or 10 week
program depending on where your weight currently stands. Here are a few handy
hints for helping you along you way with your journey to a healthy weight
range.
- Preparation and organization are keys to success. Plan your meals in advance, try and do at least a week of meal planning, then you won’t be tempted to get the quick and easy option on your lunch break or pick up some takeaway on the way home from work.
- Don’t skip meals. This will slow your metabolism and you will burn fat at a slower rate, you may also over eat on your next meal.
- Move that body. Doing any physical activity is better than doing none. If you currently do no physical activity, start by doing some, and gradually build up to the recommended amount. The Australian guidelines for physical activity suggest 5 hours of moderate activity or 2.5 hours of vigorous activities a week. Walk your dog, join a gym or a sports club and try to make it something you will enjoy, that way you are more likely to stick at it.
- If you slip up, don’t beat yourself up. Get back on track.
Weight loss is a lifestyle
change, it is not something that is going to happen in a week but something you
need to work on for the rest of your life. Your body will be thanking you in
more ways than one once you make the decision to look
after your weight and steer your health in the right direction.
