Memphis Family Chiropractor Offers Helpful Weight Loss Tips

By Clayton Maske


Each day, people see a Memphis chiropractor for pain and problems related to the neck or back. Yet, there are many more reasons to see your chiropractic professional. Wellness therapy programs can help you with weight loss, and here are some helpful tips for losing those unwanted pounds.

Try writing down everything you eat for a week. It will take some work and perhaps be a little inconvenient. However, losing weight is not simple and takes work. Be totally honest with yourself and estimate the total calories for each meal and total your caloric intake each day. When most people do this, they discover they are taking in far more calories than they thought.

If you realize you are eating too many calories each day, you need a strategy to lower that amount. This is not easy but it can be achieved. For example, reduce portions by tricking your mind with smaller plates. Studies show that smaller plates help many people to reduce portion sizes and still get the same satisfaction.

If you are drinking a lot of sugar laden beverages, this is a good time to quit. These drinks are full of empty calories and they can add up fast. One can of cola can have as much as 150 calories or more. If you drink only two a day, that is 2100 extra calories per week or 6,000 calories per month, and 109,000 extra calories per year, which amounts to 30 pounds of weight gain.

Drink as much water as you can each day. You need water to survive and without the proper amounts your whole system suffers. Water is essential for digestion and metabolism. Also, if you drink water with your meals you will get full quicker.

You and your Memphis chiropractor will work together to come up with a customized plan for weight loss and fitness. It is possible to lose those extra pounds and keep them off if you have the right kind of help. In time, you may form new eating habits that will last for a lifetime.
