Memphis Family Chiropractor Offers Helpful Weight Loss Tips

By Clayton Maske


Your Memphis chiropractor helps many people each day with painful backs and necks. However, modern chiropractic also provides total wellness programs, designed to help you feel and look better. Here are some helpful weight loss tips from your chiropractic professional.

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.

Most people need to lower their daily calorie intake but that is much easier said than done. Slow you eating down and chew food thoroughly, and try using smaller plates at meal time. When your plate is full, your mind thinks that you have had enough to eat and you may find that you can get by with smaller portions, this way.

Often times, it is not what you eat but what you drink that packs on the calories. If you enjoy sweet tea or sugar sweetened sodas during the day, you could be taking in hundreds of calories that you do not need. Many people drink as much as 500 calories in beverages every day. When you do this for one year (while eating enough to maintain your weight) you will gain about 50 pounds.

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.

Your chiropractic doctor can help you develop a weight loss program that will work for you. It will be custom designed for your specific needs. Together, you and your Memphis chiropractor will uncover the formula for success, and help you find a healthy lifestyle that you can live with every day.
