Small Changes That Make a Big Difference

Are you ready for your Halloween costume or is the fit a bit more snug than you remember? If the latter is true for you, then it may be time to use some of the strategies that play an essential role in some of the most successful easy weight loss programs.

Making small changes is a great way to ultimately transform your lifestyle into a healthy one that requires less effort to lose and maintain weight. While it seems like you may lose weight faster by completely overhauling your current dietary habits, often times adopting a few smaller changes at a time is more manageable and easier to maintain for the long term.

Here are a few changes we recommend to members of our weight loss clinics:

Eat breakfast every single day. Make sure to eat or drink something within a half hour of waking up in the morning. You need to rev your metabolism and get your body out of starvation mode—if not, there’s a good chance that you’ll overeat later in the day, which will throw even the best easy weight loss programs out of alignment.

Eliminate one fat from your diet every week. By slowly eliminating the unhealthy fats from your diet, you’ll have less to burn and will boost your overall health. Start alleviating foods that are loaded with unhealthy fats such as cheese, butter, chips and French fries, as opposed to foods that boast healthy fats, such as those that are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, including salmon, tuna, avocados and nuts. Try this simple change to save hundreds of fat calories each day: swap out your fat-laden coffee creamer with a non-fat version.

Skip the Soda. Weight loss clinics typically recommend increasing water consumption to achieve success with diets. Take things a step further by swapping out the empty calories you get from soda with water and lemon.
