Staying on Track with Your Weight Goals

A healthy life starts with diet and exercise. 

Staying on track with your weight goals can be tricky sometimes. There are many good foods patients would rather eat instead of diet foods. Many options that are unhealthy tend to be cheaper or easier, but that is not always the case. We can help you with tips for staying on track with your weight goals, especially with our nutritional assessments and plans. Having someone lead you along the way to your best body is much easier than going at it alone. Nutritional assessments can help you know if you are feeding your body all the nutrients and energy it needs to stay healthy and get fit. We also have many options for getting you even closer to your goals with services such as medical-grade body wraps, Laser-Like Lipo, infrared sauna and more.

Noteworthy Goals

Each day is an opportunity to set goals and start the day over. Did you know that some of the most popular goals have to do with health and weight goals? In fact, in studies conducted for New Years resolutions, losing weight and eating healthier were among the top goals resolutioners had (around 21.4% of those polled). That may not come as too much of a shock to you when you learn that the United States is one of the most overweight countries in the world. Statistics of adult obesity are shocking. In the United States alone, studies show that 4 states exceed 35% of the population being obese. 25 states are above the 20% margin and all the rest of the United States are over 20% obese. Thousands of people set weight goals each year, but are unable to achieve them. Around 80% of people who make New Years resolutions to lose weight have already quit their weight goals by February. The lack of help and guidance is what causes many of these people to quit, even if their weight goals are noteworthy.

Weight Goals Are Achieved Easier with Help

With so many people giving up on their weight goals, what can be done? American Psychological Association has found that social support can help you lose weight and keep it off easier than going at it alone. Why? If you have support with a weight loss plan, then you have a group of people that are helping you along the way. You are accountable for the food and exercise decisions you make and most groups have you record what you’re eating, how you’re staying active and how you are reaching your goals each day.

At Texas Spine & Sports Therapy, we provide this support to our patients through the form of nutritional assessments and planning. What is a nutritional assessment? When patients visit us to learn about their nutritional needs, we use numerous testing methods to give them an idea about their food-related health. We test the body with electricity to get an accurate picture of the fat deposits in the body. This can show you how and where your body stores its fat. We also offer complete blood testing that tests for crucial nutrients such as calcium, vitamin B, iron and more. Why? Because a lack of nutrients can cause many problems to manifest in the body. Lack of even one vital nutrient could be causing you to feel pain, sickness, fatigue and more. A healthier body is one that works better, harder and achieves more.

Nutritional Assessments Can Help Your Health

Nutritional assessments truly can help your health and your weight goals. There are many symptoms that stem from dietary issues. Some of these include:

• Ongoing fatigue that keeps you from feeling rested
• Obesity and excess weight
• Dizziness, headaches, migraines and brain fog
• Daily heartburn
• Constipation or reoccurring diarrhea
• Fluctuating blood sugar levels and/or mood changes throughout the day
• Weaker immune system that makes fighting illnesses harder to do

All of these problems stem from nutritional deficiencies! What can you do? You can receive your own nutritional assessment and see how your health is.

Most diets marketed towards overweight individuals focus on cutting out foods, which could end up cutting vital nutrients from your diet. It can also leave you fatigued. We take your nutritional assessment into account as well as your weight goals and then create a plan for you. Then we keep up with you and provide the support you need to be successful. With a diet that’s right for you and constant support, you’re bound to help your health while achieving your goals.
