Remember the Basics
We recommend you come every month on time. If you run out of medicine many people experience rebound hunger if they stop the medication and are hungrier than they were before. We recommend 3 meals a day, no in between meal snacks, with no junk food or beverages with sugar. Walk daily. Studies of people who successfully lose and maintain the loss showed they all eat breakfast and walk an hour a day. No junk food or beverages with sugar, diet drinks are fine. Fruit juices sound healthier, but may contain almost as much sugar as sodas so use them as treats like deserts.

Count Your Calories
It can be very helpful to keep a food and exercise diary. Smart phone apps such as Lose It or My Fitness pal can make this much easier. Please bring your diaries in for review.
Meal Replacements
If you find it difficult to count calories it may be helpful to use meal replacements. We recommend Lean Cuisine or Weight Watchers meals as economical tasty meal replacements. If you replace 2 to 3 meals a day with these you know how many calories you are consuming.
