Talking Points from Dr. Mimi Secor
Diets and Lifestyle Changes That Work:

Diet Trends

Intermittent fasting has gained attention in the last year or so. We still hear about the Keto diet (I buy some cereal that touts its keto-friendliness). And we’ve seen some references to a carnivore diet.

There are a plethora of diet plans that are effective for short-term weight loss. Unfortunately, when people reach their goal and stop the program, most regain the weight they’ve lost and then some. 

The ideal program teaches people how to get healthy, stay healthy, and optimize their health over time. There are very few commercial programs that actually do this. 

One specific program that focuses on life-long health and health optimization over time is the Optavia program. This program is comprehensive, involving one on one weekly coaching, a robust educational program, community support, and a special nutritional plan. The nutritional program is easy, affordable, tasty (with many options), and if followed consistently, provides predictable weight loss.  

Losing Weight and Eating Healthier

The basics of losing weight and getting healthy include the following:

    • Avoid junk food
    • Increase protein
    • Record food using an App like “MyFitnessPal”
      (for increased awareness of calories and macros)
    • Increase water intake (eight (8) oz glasses a day, and increase activity (all movement counts)
    • Get adequate sleep
    • Reduce stress
    • Create a support system for yourself

Consider working with a health coach, trainer, or nutritionist to improve your eating habits. You can find a health coach by contacting Optavia.com or asking around your community for a health coach. 

It’s critically important to start small by making changes. Consider starting to drink more water or recording your food. Or maybe start going to bed 15 minutes earlier or walk around the block daily. 

Don’t try to change everything at once. You will just get overwhelmed and are more likely to throw in the towel until next year.
