Small Changes = Big Results

Bikini season is here—but don’t let it stress you out. By incorporating some small, manageable lifestyle changes into your easy weight loss program, you’ll feel much better in time for that beach day on the horizon. Here are a few ways to supplement quick weight loss programs like the ones provided by American Weight Loss Centers to achieve your short-term goals in a safe and healthy manner.

1.    Always Eat Breakfast. Make sure to eat or drink something as soon as you get out of bed. Even a piece of fruit will rev your metabolism. Avoiding breakfast can send your body into starvation mode, which is a big no-no and can result in metabolic issues.

2.    Eliminate one fat from your diet, especially an unhealthy fat (Avocados and nuts are healthy fats). For example, substitute your fat-filled coffee creamer or half and half with non-fat creamer. A simple change like this will save you hundreds of fat calories per day.

3.    Avoid soda. These contain empty calories and sugars that go straight to your hips and thighs. Definitely a hazard to even a FDA approved weight loss program or one using medical diet pills.

4.    Get stress in check. Make sure to exercise regularly and add some form of meditation to your routine. Stress can cause emotional eating, as well as ignite hormonal events that result in excess fat. At your next visit to a weight loss clinic, discuss ways to minimize the stress in your life.

5.    Get spicy. Studies show that certain spices have many health benefits and can boost your metabolism. Try adding red pepper flakes and cayenne pepper to your food, add cinnamon to your coffee or sprinkle it on a banana with a teaspoon of honey for a delicious mid-afternoon snack. Weight loss centers or websites can give you more examples of ways to incorporate spices into easy weight loss programs.

6.    Get extreme. Eating foods at more extreme temperatures makes you eat slower, which gives your stomach more time to signal your brain that it’s full. Eating very cold snacks like a popsicle or Greek yogurt from the freezer, or very hot ones, like a cup of soup, will slow you down and limit your intake. Visit one of American Weight Loss Centers’ weight loss clinics to pick up some of our delicious hot and cold snacks, like tomato soup or one of our incredibly delicious smoothie mixes.

7.    Sign up for an easy weight loss program at a weight loss center near you.
