Comprehensive Medical Weight Loss
This is a continuation of our discussion of weight loss myths, perceptions and facts. In part one and part two of this series, we touched on myths about obesity and factors like goal-setting, physical education and sexual activity. Now, we continue our discussion of presumptions about obesity—the things we believe to be true about obesity that scientific evidence has not made certain.
This is a continuation of our discussion of weight loss myths, perceptions, and facts. Unlike the myths we discussed in part one and part two of this series, which we know are just not true, it is just as important to recognize that there are many widely held beliefs regarding obesity that we just don’t have the scientific evidence to support. These beliefs or presumptions may or may not be true.
A few strong words can leave a lasting impression on your mind. Just as a negative comment or insult might leave you feeling insecure or depressed, kind and motivational words can be a source of inspiration. As you spend more time focusing on medical weight loss in Denver it is a good idea to surround yourself with positive words that inspire you to put your health and weight loss goals first.
When it comes to weight loss, not everything you hear is true. This is a continuation of our discussion of myths about obesity.
While it might seem like it will take years to understand what is healthy and what is not, this isn’t the case. Luckily for you, there are simple cheat sheets posted on every package of food and drink sold in the United States. All you need to do is learn how to read a nutrition label and you will be able to start making educated decisions about what to eat and what not to eat.
One of my favorite topics to lecture both to doctors and to the community about is myths and facts about obesity. For example, I love seeing the look in physicians’ eyes when I tell them that instructing their patients of weight to eat less and exercise more is not effective advice, and in fact may ultimately do more harm than good.
There are two important pieces of information that need to be realized about our working habits, especially as you shift your focus to a medical weight loss program in Denver. One is that most of us are fatigued, overworked and willing to take the easiest route possible when it comes to eating habits. The second is that where we work is pretty much a second home, so eating habits there need to be assessed just as heavily as they are in our own kitchens.
Just when we think we're out of the woods (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, New Year's, Valentine's!), here come Easter and Passover! How in the world are we supposed to fit into those nice summer shorts, dresses and swimsuits with these huge caloric events ahead?
Have you ever wondered why the way we feel has such a profound effect on our appetite and eating behavior? Happiness, loneliness, depression, boredom, fatigue, stress and guilt are more powerful appetite stimulators than being "physically" hungry.
