Tips from our weight loss clinics

Often times, patients come into our weight loss clinics looking for quick fixes and shortcuts to losing weight. While there truly are no “quick fixes,” there are many techniques you can employ to help you adjust to our weight loss programs and make the process easier overall. 

An easy way to start is by using single-serving containers. Controlling portion size is essential to achieving success with any of the many types of weight loss programs. It can be tempting to prepare a large recipe and then store all of the leftovers in the same pot or pan that it was cooked in. The problem with this is that you may end up overeating at mealtime—it’s easy to load up your plate when you’re helping yourself from a large pot or pan, even when you’re using medical diet pills to control your appetite.

Instead, put the food into single-serving containers—ensuring that the portions are controlled. You can always check examples of what reasonable portions look like at your next visit to one of our weight loss clinics. Then you have several on-the-go meals set up and you won’t be tempted to overeat.

Another good technique that will make working with easy weight loss programs even easier is to cook in bulk, preferably at the beginning of your work week. While it may be tempting to grab a single size frozen meal at the grocery store, it’s actually healthier to eat your own healthy prepared meals—they are more likely to be lower in both calories and sodium.

Why not prepare a week's worth of healthy meals all at once? It will probably take the same amount of time that it does to prepare one meal.  Use your single-serving containers to properly store your meals, and think about each meal as a whole. Add fruit or veggies to the pre-packed container, and anything else that will balance each meal. This convenient approach will help you stay within your portion guidelines, making it easier for you to control your appetite and not overeat.

Whether you need simple cooking techniques, nutrition guidelines or assistance in the form of medical diet pills, the staff at our weight loss clinics has tons of information and resources to help make achieving your weight loss goals within reach.
