Weekend Warriors

We all know it’s true—the weekends can destroy the results of easy weight loss programs. Here are some ways to keep your weekend guilt-free.

Work it Out
Get up early at least one day per weekend and work out. This will motivate you to eat better so you don’t blow all the results of your sweat fest. If you can work out both weekend days, you’re golden. Exercising early in the day can cement your resolve for the rest of the day, making you less likely to cheat outrageously.

Move It
In addition to getting your workout on, the weekend is great time to commit to outdoor activities with friends, or even things like bowling—as long as you’re moving around, you’re staying on track.

Plan Your Cheat
If part of your easy weight loss program is to have a weekend “cheat” day, then make sure to eat well for the rest of your weekend. Another great idea for not throwing your quick weight loss program off track is to workout on that cheat day, for the same reasons above, and for the fact that you may not want to cheat as badly as if you didn’t put the time in at the gym. You won’t want to deter all that progress you made in the morning. Also, at the very least, eat a healthy breakfast on your cheat day.

Motivate
Visit one of our weight loss clinics on a Saturday. Whether you’re there to receive FDA approved medical weight loss pills, buy healthy snacks or simply to check in with your quick weight loss program, this visit will definitely inspire you to stay on track on the weekend. Weighing in at one of our weight loss clinics or medical weight loss centers is a great motivator to “be good” for the rest of the weekend.

Write it Down
Write down what you eat all weekend. This will definitely keep you in a good place in terms of what you’re eating.

Club it
If you’re destined to hit up the bars or clubs during the weekend, be smart about it. Drink low-calorie choices like white wine or vodka soda. Be careful of your mixers—juices, soda and even tonic are quick ways to add up calories and can throw off even the best of quick weight loss programs. *If you’re taking medical diet pills, visit one of our weight loss centers and check with your physician to ensure that it’s safe to drink alcohol. If you’re clubbing it, then get on the dance floor and shake it to burn extra calories.

Small Changes = Big Results

Bikini season is here—but don’t let it stress you out. By incorporating some small, manageable lifestyle changes into your easy weight loss program, you’ll feel much better in time for that beach day on the horizon. Here are a few ways to supplement quick weight loss programs like the ones provided by American Weight Loss Centers to achieve your short-term goals in a safe and healthy manner.

1.    Always Eat Breakfast. Make sure to eat or drink something as soon as you get out of bed. Even a piece of fruit will rev your metabolism. Avoiding breakfast can send your body into starvation mode, which is a big no-no and can result in metabolic issues.

2.    Eliminate one fat from your diet, especially an unhealthy fat (Avocados and nuts are healthy fats). For example, substitute your fat-filled coffee creamer or half and half with non-fat creamer. A simple change like this will save you hundreds of fat calories per day.

3.    Avoid soda. These contain empty calories and sugars that go straight to your hips and thighs. Definitely a hazard to even a FDA approved weight loss program or one using medical diet pills.

4.    Get stress in check. Make sure to exercise regularly and add some form of meditation to your routine. Stress can cause emotional eating, as well as ignite hormonal events that result in excess fat. At your next visit to a weight loss clinic, discuss ways to minimize the stress in your life.

5.    Get spicy. Studies show that certain spices have many health benefits and can boost your metabolism. Try adding red pepper flakes and cayenne pepper to your food, add cinnamon to your coffee or sprinkle it on a banana with a teaspoon of honey for a delicious mid-afternoon snack. Weight loss centers or websites can give you more examples of ways to incorporate spices into easy weight loss programs.

6.    Get extreme. Eating foods at more extreme temperatures makes you eat slower, which gives your stomach more time to signal your brain that it’s full. Eating very cold snacks like a popsicle or Greek yogurt from the freezer, or very hot ones, like a cup of soup, will slow you down and limit your intake. Visit one of American Weight Loss Centers’ weight loss clinics to pick up some of our delicious hot and cold snacks, like tomato soup or one of our incredibly delicious smoothie mixes.
