Simple Tips from a Weight Loss Nurse

Tips from a weight loss nurse:

  • When it comes to weight loss, think small.  Focus on a few pounds a month rather than looking at your long-term goal. 
  • Don’t focus on Diet.  Focus on healthy eating.
  • Shop in a grocery store’s perimeter – that is where the fruits, vegetables, fish, dairy and lean meats are found.
  • Just reduce your calorie intake by 300 a day and increase your calorie burning up by 200 per day can take off one pound per week.
  • Too little food  begets hunger, hunger begets overeating. 
  • If you have trouble exercising 30 minutes a day, break it up to six 5 minute workouts --  Walk up stairs instead of taking an elevator.  Park at the FAR END of a parking lot and walk.
