Weight Loss Guidelines

Set a goal: Determine how much weight you want to lose and set a realistic timeframe for achieving that goal.

Consult VCare healthcare professional: Before starting any weight loss program, it’s important to consult with us to make sure you are healthy enough to lose weight and to develop a safe and effective plan.

Assess your current eating habits: Keep a food diary for a few days to track what you eat and when. Identify areas where you can make healthier choices and plan to make gradual changes.

Increase physical activity: Incorporate physical activity into your daily routine. Start with small goals, like taking a daily walk, and gradually increase your activity level.

Create a calorie deficit: To lose weight, you need to consume fewer calories than you burn. This can be achieved by reducing your caloric intake through healthier food choices and increasing your physical activity.

Focus on whole foods: Choose nutrient-dense whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. These foods will keep you feeling full and satisfied while providing essential nutrients.

Practice portion control: Use measuring cups, food scales, and visual cues to help you control portion sizes and avoid overeating.

Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help you feel full and avoid overeating.

Monitor progress: Track your progress by weighing yourself regularly and keeping a record of your measurements, food intake, and physical activity.
Remember, sustainable weight loss takes time, patience, and consistency. Focus on making small, healthy changes that you can maintain for the long-term.
