The vacation is over...

www.DrWeigh.com

Well, the vacation is over and tomorrow we all go back to work, school, or our regular routines. It is likely that many of you did not eat as well during this vacation as you had planned. Most people enter December with additional pounds hanging on them.

So, now what?

There are two mistakes that you do not want to make.

Mistake 1) Giving up. Don't get so overwhelmed by the extra pounds that you do nothing. Regardless of how much weight you gained over the holidays, you can still take them off.

Mistake 2) The starvation diet. It is tempting to try to starve the weight right off. That is the worst thing that you can do. Nobody can stick to a starvation diet without, well, starving themselves to death. And since you are clearly not going to do that, at some point you will give in and regain the weight that you lost (and then some). Even though the weight came on over a few weeks, you will not be able to (safely) take them off in just a few weeks.

The best thing to do is go back to basics. Eat a reasonable number of calories. Cut back on sweets. Increase your exercise. Eat mostly fruits, vegetables, lean sources of protein, and whole grains.

Don't try to lose it all at once. Slow and steady always wins the race.

And if you need help, by all means, give us a call at 516-801-0022 for more information on our weight loss program.

Good luck. See you at the gym!
