APPETITE CONTROL

At Laser Light Connection we do not have our clients step on a scale nor do we measure the waistline. We promote a common sense approach to losing pounds and inches. We will provide you with both eating and exercise suggestions to help you be successful. Each person is different so what works for one person may not work for another. You will begin with 3 treatments and as you recognize improvement you may want to continue with several more treatments until you reach your goal weight.
Low level laser therapy is not a magic treatment program. There are goals to set and steps that you as a client will have to take to lose weight and improve your health. Hopefully the following suggestions will help you to stay focused on your healthy living plan.

Suggestions:

Setting the right goals to try to lose weight and improve your health is the first step. Dietary and exercise changes will lead to long-term weight reduction. Take aim on goals that are 1) specific, 2) attainable and 3) forgiving. For example: "Exercise more" is ideal. "Walk five miles everyday" is specific and measurable but is not attainable if you are just getting started. "Walk 30 minutes every day" is more attainable, but what if you work late or it's raining? "Walk 30 minutes, five days each week" is specific, attainable and forgiving, it's a great goal. Get the idea?

Drink a lot of water each day, if possible 64 ounces.

Eat foods that are healthy -- whole grains, beans, brightly colored fruits and vegetables, low-fat milk and lean meats.

Cut down on foods that are high in added glucose and fat; like sodas, candy, chips and fried foods. You don't need special diet foods to stay healthy. Use common sense.

It is important to try to eat three small meals and if needed add a healthy snack in between.

If you are so inclined keep a record of your daily food intake and timing of your meals.

It is better to eat smaller portions more frequently than to skip meals and bulk up when you finally do stop to eat.

Timing can be an important factor. Eat breakfast, even if you are pressed for time. Get something healthy into your body to start your metabolism for the day. Try to avoid eating heavy meals or unhealthy snacks before you go to bed.

Don't worry about slip-ups, everyone slips up when they are learning something new. Remember changing your lifestyle is not going to happen overnight it is a process.

Celebrate your accomplishments by doing something nice for yourself that does not involve food.
