We at NewMeMD have figured it out: Apparently there's something that women who maintain their weight and health do that the rest of us don’t…they work smarter, NOT harder.
Here are 8 helpful tips from our wellness team to help lead you down the path to a fitter and slimmer you--
1. Eat Breakfast.
The single most common characteristic shared among women who have achieved (and maintained!) their weight loss is this: They eat breakfast. Making a conscious effort to have that famous "most important meal of the day" can reduce hunger throughout the rest of your day and may decrease your likelihood of overeating or making poor food choices later. Oh and, "breaking your fast" from overnight can also help in increase your metabolism by at least 10% so go ahead. Eat up to slim down!
2. Drink Water.
2. Drink Water.
The American Heart Association says women shouldn't eat or drink more than a total 6 teaspoons of sugar daily, yet the average American takes in an extra 385 calories (that's a whopping 23 teaspoons!) of this sweet stuff a day... or an excess of 140,000 unnecessary calories a year. The solution? Chug down more H2O. Simply swapping out sugary drinks with plain (or fresh fruit-infused) water may not seem like much, but it's a huge step you can make during your Operation Shed Pounds journey. Water not only energizes your muscles, it hydrates your skin, keeps your kidneys functioning properly and makes you feel fuller longer without all those unwanted calories!
3. Introduce Healthy Snacks Into Your Day.

Got snacks? If not, go get some. Preventing yourself from feeling overly hungry is another successful tool to weight loss. Whether you're at the office or on-the-go, always keep some healthy snacks (such as carrot sticks, a piece of fresh fruit or lean, low-sodium beef jerky) on hand to keep those hunger pangs at bay between meals!
4. Eat Whole Foods First.
Whole foods like fruits, vegetables and legumes (beans) contain lots of fiber, but very few calories. They can also satisfy your hunger while delivering nutrient rich foods to nourish your body. Our general rule of thumb is to aim for 80% of your entire diet to be derived from whole (and organic if possible) food sources.
5. Make Dinner Your Last Meal Of The Day.

5. Make Dinner Your Last Meal Of The Day.
Restaurants have rigid hours of operation, and your fridge and/or pantry should too! Putting a “Sorry We're Closed” sign in your kitchen is a great idea if you're watching your waistline. After dinner is finally served and stored away, put up your “Closed” sign for the night (even if that means just putting a Post-It note on your fridge). Recent research shows any extra calories consumed after 7:30 PM tend to tip the scales against what your recommended daily consumption should be.
6. Exercise Daily.
6. Exercise Daily.
Engaging in 30 minutes of "moderate intensity" aerobic activity for at least 5 days a week in conjunction with moderate-to-high intensity strength training at least two days a week can significantly improve your cardiovascular health. One thing to keep in mind though: Daily exercise is a skill you get better at over time. As long as you stick with it, your results will be clear. So whaddaya say? Let's get moving!
7. Sleep.
7. Sleep.
Not only does catchin' some Zzzzs provide you with the energy you need to exercise daily, it also regulates your metabolism, repairs your muscles AND improves your memory so you can remember why you're working so hard to establish new habits. Try to get at least 7 to 8 hours of rest each night, and you may find yourself healthier and fitter in practically no time!
8. Sign Up for a Medically Supervised Weight Loss Program.

Medically supervised weight loss (such as our programs at NewMeMD ) provide effective treatment in a clinical setting with an experienced medical doctor or other licensed healthcare professional. Our hCG Weight Loss regimen, for example, consists of various phases which are tailored to the needs of each of our patients who are seeking weight loss. This includes a one-on-one lifestyle evaluation, prescription medications (based on our doctors' recommendations), suggested meal planning, continual weight loss support, nutritional guidance and regular monitoring of your blood pressure/heart rate.
One of the most important rules for achieving your goal weight isn't about having good luck or being on a starvation diet-- it's actually about adopting healthy habits and sticking with them.
