Healthy Eating Habits Go A Long Way

Working with easy weight loss programs isn’t just about medical diet pills and weight loss products, it’s about developing a brand new, more comfortable relationship with food. At American Weight Loss Centers, we understand that can be a difficult task. It’s easy to get preoccupied with food, even when you’re using FDA approved medical weight loss pills or other weight loss products. You may think about how much you’re eating, how little, calorie content and fat grams until you find yourself thinking about food all the time. 
If you want to be thin, then it’s time to start acting thin. Here are some habits to implement into your lifestyle and to help the success of quick weight loss programs:
Eat consistently.
It’s important to have a well-balanced and diverse meal plan and to keep it fairly predictable. When you’re indulging in too many tastes and textures, you’re actually encouraged to eat more—hence, the issue so many of us experience at buffets.  Establish a healthy pattern for yourself, for example, eggs and fruit in the morning, salad and veggies or protein at lunch, healthy snacks in the afternoon and a well-balanced meal at dinner. It’s not about eating the same fruits, vegetables or protein every day—it’s more about sticking to a consistent pattern. At your next visit to one of our medical weight loss clinics or Orange County medical weight loss centers, ask the staff for some good ideas for balanced meal plans.
Don’t be afraid of a little hunger
A little hunger is usually not an emergency or something that needs to be addressed immediately, in most cases. Eliminate the fear and let yourself get a little bit hungry—remember it’s a normal sign that your body needs fuel. It doesn’t take that much to feel satiated, so use a healthy, high-energy snack that’s part of one of our easy weight loss programs to fill up when it’s not meal time and you’re feeling a little bit hungry.
One of the most important components of a successful quick weight loss plan is to stop eating when you’re satisfied, as opposed to letting yourself get stuffed. Re-train yourself to eat slowly so that your stomach has time to signal your brain that it’s satisfied and push the plate away when you are. You can also purchase weight loss products from one of our weight loss clinics to help feel satiated when hunger strikes at odd times. Our new Chocolate and Caramel Drizzles are getting rave reviews!
Don’t eat for comfort.
When you’re feeling sad or depressed, instead of reaching for that candy bar, go for a walk or run, or even hit up the gym. Another amazing endorphin booster is a dance or kickboxing class. If you don’t feel like being active, try something else that has nothing to do with eating—call a friend to vent, read a book or write in a journal.
Get your Zsss.
Aim for eight hours a night. When you’re tired, you tend to snack more, and with less sleep, you have more hours in your day to eat! What’s worse is that lack of sleep can cause your body to release more ghrelin, an appetite-boosting hormone, resulting in you being hungrier!
