Let's Get WAIST-ed! NewMeMD 's 5 Simple Steps to Being Swimsuit Ready


It's finally time to put away those bulky sweaters and sweatpants... Are you ready?! 

Summer is right around the corner and will be here before you know it (yes, this is your reminder that the first day of summer is on June 21st, and this is less than 30 days away).

With that said, don't panic! Here are some easy tips from our NewMeMD wellness team to get "swimsuit ready" by summer:

1. Set Goals.

Be realistic. Set some healthy and capable goals for yourself. Do you want to lose weight, or do you want to gain muscle? Take measurements of yourself so you can watch your progress. Seeing how far you have come is the easiest way to stay motivated.

2. Lower Your Calories. 

Focus on fruits & vegetables, while trying to cut out breads, pastas, sugars etc. from your diet. Keep track of your calories. Your phone has apps that will help you count calories, which means there's absolutely no excuse not to do this. It's just a matter of how bad you want that swimsuit body, right?!

3. Load Up on Water. 

Drink a lot of water. When you think you have drank enough, drink some more. We recommend at least 80 ounces of water a day, but as the weather warms up, the number has to go up as well.

4. Stay Motivated.

Remember why you want to get swimsuit ready by summer: to feel comfortable in a bikini. You don't want to stress constantly about covering up. Maybe you haven’t worn a swimsuit in a few years, but regardless of the reason, it is crucial to stay motivated for the next 120 days to help you reach your goals.

5. Enroll in a Reputable Medical Weight loss Program.
 
Our physicians at NewMeMD have been successful at helping patients with lifestyle changes, which has in turn mirrored the successes of overall weight loss and long-term weight maintenance. Our services include: a comprehensive evaluation, weekly health monitoring and even nutritional support to ensure everyone's lifestyle change is a positive journey each step of the way.

73% of Americans are NOW considered overweight or obese. Being overweight is a medical condition that can strongly increase your chance of suffering from: coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, hypertension, stroke, liver or gallbladder disease, or even respiratory problems (and that's just naming a few!). 

At NewMeMD we are not only here to help you go against this unfortunate trend, but also to make sure you feel good while doing it!

Here's to paying attention, and to being in my swimsuit by summer!
