Summer is almost over, and while it can inspire a more active lifestyle, you may also be reeling from some of the after effects of vacations, summer barbecues and parties, lazy days, and of course, seasonal weddings. While some people do their best in summer due to lots of outdoor activities and pressure to show more skin, others may falter. Now that fall is around the corner, you may be ready to start a diet or follow one of the easy weight loss programsavailable to you. 

Instead of indulging from now through the holidays and hitting one of our clinics for weight loss in January with the crowds of New Years’ resolution-makers, why not take advantage of the present? Fall is traditionally a time when the kids go back to school and everyone’s routines get more structured—which makes it an ideal time to get started on any of our easy weight loss programs. Plus, if you do have children who are heading back to school, you may have a little more time to focus on yourself and getting healthier.

Now is the time to establish a new routine so you can make time to prepare healthy meals and snacks in advance and schedule time for workouts and physical activities. Healthy fall produce offers a plethora of meal options that are strongly recommended by the staff at our clinics for weight loss.

Hit up your local farmers’ market to take advantage of the freshest fruits and vegetables you can get. Apples are extremely healthy and beneficial for weight loss as they are packed with soluble fiber and pectin, an ingredient often found in weight loss products. Add them to a chicken salad or grill them with cinnamon as a delicious dessert. 

Pumpkin is another excellent example of fall produce. It’s fiber-rich and packed with vitamins A, C, K and E, as well as antioxidant carotenoids, such as alpha and betacarotene. Pumpkin is also an excellent source of iron, potassium and magnesium. Don’t wait for Thanksgiving—try pumpkin soup, smoothies and roast the seeds for a delicious snack. Pumpkin seeds are loaded with fiber and renowned for their anti-inflammatory properties—in fact, they are are so good for you and your diet, they should be one of our weight loss products!
