I lost 10 pounds without trying – you can too! – Ethan Lazarus, MD

One of the most common question patients ask me is “Have you ever had a weight problem?” I usually answer that my weight negatively affects my health – I have prediabetes and high cholesterol, so chronic weight management is important to keep me healthy. In spite of this, like everybody, my weight fluctuates. In fact by June of this past year, I had gained 10 pounds. The stresses of work, kids and travel had added up!

What Got You Here Won’t Get You There

I had the pleasure of reading Marshall Goldsmith’s book titled “What got you here won’t get you there” on a recent airplane flight, and was surprised how many of the suggestions in this book are timely and relevant for the individual wanting to lose weight. With the holidays upon us, countless people will make it their New Year Resolution: to lose 20 pounds, 30 pounds, 50 pounds, 100 pounds… They will go on a severe diet and start going to the gym 5 days per week. In a month or two, they will lose 10 or 20 pounds – or more – only to immediately start regaining.

Spring Cleaning

Going on a weight loss program always seems like such a chore – all those delicious foods that you have to pass by. All that time at the gym that you don’t like or didn’t have time for in the first place. As spring settles in, why not take a different approach?

Weight Loss vs. Weight Management

A patient once asked me “Who is the most likely to be successful at losing weight?” After a brief moment, I answered “Moms who have a child getting married in a few months.” In my 12 years working at Clinical Nutrition Center, nearly every mom wanting to get into that pretty dress for the child’s wedding has succeeded. Many even lose more weight than they intended.

Adding Variety to your Diet

You may already know it is important to change your eating habits. To lose weight you will need to adjust what you eat and pay close attention to portion control. You will also want to eliminate sugary, fatty or greasy foods from your diet. But successful weight loss is not just about diet restrictions and eating less. In fact, when it comes to your diet, there are some foods that you should be eating more!

Making Weight Loss Workouts a Habit

There’s a reason that we so frequently hear diet and exercise used in conjunction—they’re both crucial aspects of losing weight. Yet even with the knowledge that exercise is important, sticking to your workout plans can be a challenge. Though a weight loss program will teach you many ways to improve your health, forming new habits is rarely easy—daily exercise is something that many people struggle to make a reality.

Protein in Your Diet

Although not ideal for everyone, when attempting to lose weight, a diet high in protein foods gives your body the amino acids necessary for peak functioning of numerous physiological processes. In addition, you won't be driven to snack constantly by recurring hunger pangs after eating a meal rich in protein, because protein helps you feel fuller longer.

Portion Control Basics for Weight Management

Increasing portion sizes is a common and effective marketing technique used by restaurants, vending machines, and food manufacturers to make consumers think they are "getting their money's worth". Unfortunately, placing heaping platefuls of food in front of us or tripling the size of what many of us consider a single-serving. As portions increase, our perception of what is a reasonable amount of food to consume for a snack or as a meal becomes inaccurate and we end up eating much more food than we thought we were.
