Joining a live-in weight loss program

What to do if you want to lose a significant amount of weight.

Choose the right program.  How do you know if the program is “Right?”

They will have a doctor on their team for reference, referral, and assessments as needed.

They will create a program based on YOUR needs and goals, not everyone else’s.

You will undergo a fitness assessment to establish a base-line as to where you are before you start the
program.

They will put you on an eating plan based on your caloric and nutritional needs.

The program should be small enough so that you get personalized attention and close care.

You should be in a structured atmosphere where there is little or no room to “cheat” the program.

You should participate in many educational lectures, classes, and “real life” scenarios, like dining out and grocery store shopping.

You will change your behaviors and have the opportunity to dive deeper into some of the struggles that have kept you from living your life as healthy as you can.

You should be introduced to new activities, fun and recreation, so that you get out of the gym and into the mountains, or lakes, or parks and you’ll be excited to go home and take up hiking in your neck of the woods.

You will be pampered in a spa so that your tired muscles can take a much needed rest and will speed up your recovery time.

The trainers and staff are highly trained, very personable, and dedicated to seeing you succeed at reaching your goals.

Make sure the gym is equipped with the right equipment and many different classes offered, boredom is often the reason people quit exercising.

10 Ways to Beat the Holiday Bulge

1. Eat a healthy snack prior to attending social events so you’re not ravenous when you see temptations everywhere, never go to a party hungry.
2. Look at the holiday as a day, not a week or a month. Allow yourself to splurge on one day-not for two months.
3. Exercise. You will most likely eat more calories around the holidays due to the parties, large family meals, and gifts of chocolate and cookies! Therefore continuing to exercise throughout the holidays speeds up your metabolism to burn the extra calories faster.
4. Drink 3 liters or 96-ounces of water daily, it aids in digestion and will keep you feeling full longer.
5. Get outside, even if it’s chilly, bundle up.  Take a walk the fresh air will do you some good.
6. Make time to relax; this is a stressful time of year for most of us.  Make sure you pencil in some YOU time, read a book, get a massage, take a bath, whatever gives you a much needed break.
7. Avoid the mentality that, “It’s the holidays so I can eat whatever want and splurge just because.  Stick to the 80-20 philosophy (80% of our food should be nutrient rich, while 20% can be less nutrient rich).  Oh, and limit your alcohol, just because it’s the holidays doesn’t mean you need those empty calories.
8. Get out there and shop!  Park further away at the department stores, walk the mall with a friend and get gift ideas.  Move your body!
9. Remember what the holidays are all about. Focus less on the food and drinks and more on celebrating the special season and the company of the people you love — your family and friends.
10. Give yourself the gift of health this holiday season.  It’s never to early to start your “New Years Resolutions”.  Make this the year to really get your health back on track.  Maybe you’d like to lose the last 10 pounds, or maybe you need to get a handle on your weight and health once and for all.  Wherever you may be, recognize that this is your chance to turn it all around.  If you are ready for a change, give Unite Fitness Retreat a call today and let us show you how our personalized fitness and weight loss program can transform your life forever. 866-589-5615
