Benefits of Walking - The calorie-burning power of walking combined with the metabolism boosting effect of strength-training moves makes this two-in-one workout efficient and effective. Walk in your neighborhood, or around a track. Add some light weights for starters. For optimal results, try it two to four times a week on nonconsecutive days.

EAT BETTER RESTAURANT MEALS - Go á la Carte Skip the jumbo portions and rich sides that come with restaurant entrees. Instead, go for small plates that you can share, or choose side orders for your meal.

Most of the people who come to our program have already tried everything. What makes weight loss such a difficult and, for many people, next to an impossible task? There is no simple answers we do not completely understand the cause and progress of a chronic condition known as obesity. The fact is that only for some people, being overweight is simply a result of overeating. For these fortunate few, readjustment of caloric intake and/or an increase of physical activity (en...ergy spending) will solve the problem. However, for most people, overweight problems arise without their help. Complex genetic factors, metabolic, physiological, and biological changes eventually determine each person’s tendency to become overweight or stay slim. This is why the weight loss and the maintenance programs should never be taken lightly. You are dealing with a chronic condition. There is no such thing as a seven-day diet, a 30-day diet, a 24-hour diet, etc. Fortunately for most, weight loss can be accomplished. Your success is dependent upon three major factors: (1) Your determination (2) Understanding of the program (3) Adherence and continuity The best immediate and long-term results will be accomplished when several methods are applied at the same time, such as dieting restrictions, medications improving metabolism, behavior modifications and increased physical activity.
