Kiss Those Unwanted Pounds Goodbye Forever

By Donna Stark

Usually, when you say your final goodbye to unwanted guests, you don't expect them to return. After all, final means final. It means giving those guests a hug or a kiss goodbye and wishing them well, while also hoping to never see them again, right? Well, if your unwanted guests are those extra pounds that keep coming back, no matter how many times you kick them to the curb, it's no wonder why you are getting so frustrated. Fortunately, your local chiropractors at The Joint Chiropractic have some suggestions that can keep them away for good, just like you wanted in the first place. Take a look.

Adjust Your Diet

You have probably already adjusted your diet by cutting out snacks, desserts, and fast food, but you may need to adjust it some more. Take a look at how many processed foods and carb-heavy meals you are eating. If it's a lot, try to eliminate those choices and replace them with healthier options, such as lean proteins, fruit, vegetables, and healthy fats. 

Pick the Right Vegetables

Want to know a little secret? Not all vegetables are created equal, so try to avoid eating too many potatoes and fill up on more of your favorite deeply-hued vegetables instead. Vegetables, such as spinach, broccoli, kale, eggplant, carrots, peppers, and tomatoes are the better choice because they offer the most protective health benefits.

Eat Slower

The food on your plate isn't going anywhere so slow down! It takes time for your brain to get the message that your tummy is full, so chew slower, eat more mindfully, and if you have to, put your fork or spoon down between each bite. This new habit may take some time to form, but it will be totally worth it in the end!

Drink Water

If you want to eat less at each meal and maintain a healthier weight, turn to water. By drinking a glass of water before each meal and replacing the sodas, juices, and fancy coffee drinks you enjoy throughout the day, you will be able to kiss those stubborn pounds goodbye once and for all.

Stay Physically Active

Whether you spend a couple of hours at the gym each day or you simply add more steps into your routine, physical activity is one of the best ways to stay on top of your weight gain. And if you incorporate some stretching and strength training into your daily workouts as well, you can expect a completely new body to look forward to!

Saying Goodbye Forever

Now that you've read the suggestions above, it's time to get to work. Kiss those unwanted guests goodbye forever and start living a healthier and happier life. You deserve it!
