Memphis Family Chiropractor Offers Weight Loss Tips

By Clayton Maske


Each day, people see a Memphis chiropractor for pain and problems related to the neck or back. Yet, there are many more reasons to see your chiropractic professional. Wellness therapy programs can help you with weight loss, and here are some helpful tips for losing those unwanted pounds.

The only way to know how many calories you take in, is to keep track of your eating habits. Try to develop the habit of writing down everything you eat and also estimate calories. You may be in for a shock when you see how much you really consume, and this can help you develop the motivation to do something about it.

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.

If you are drinking a lot of sugar laden beverages, this is a good time to quit. These drinks are full of empty calories and they can add up fast. One can of cola can have as much as 150 calories or more. If you drink only two a day, that is 2100 extra calories per week or 6,000 calories per month, and 109,000 extra calories per year, which amounts to 30 pounds of weight gain.

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.
