Local Memphis Family Chiropractor Offers Weight Loss Tips

By Clayton Maske


A Memphis chiropractor sees many patients for neck or back problems. Yet, more and more people are turning to modern day chiropractic for total wellness care, including developing healthy lifestyles. Here are some helpful weight loss tips provided by your chiropractic doctor.

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.

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.
