Losing weight and keeping it off can be top of mind for many people. And for good reason: Achieving and maintaining a healthy body weight is important for your overall health and vitality, both now and as you age. Whether you are ready to embark on a weight-loss program, are currently working toward a goal, or want to maintain your hard work, here are 10 tips to keep you on track.
1) Build your dream team.
Don’t feel like you need to go it alone! Building a network of people you trust and feel comfortable talking to about your weight-loss journey can help make you more successful. Don’t forget about building a relationship with your health care practitioner. Studies have shown that more frequent attendance at sessions and more sustained contact with the clinic improve weight loss success.
2) Set SMARTer goals.
Goal setting supports successful weight loss. Although you may have larger overall weight goals, e.g. lose 20 lbs., breaking this into a series of smaller goals can help you build behaviors you need to reach your target. Get SMART about building your goals by making them Specific, Measureable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-Bound.
3) Build in daily meal replacements.
Meal replacements (e.g. shakes) can be a valuable tool in your weight management toolbox. In clinical studies, people who used meal replacement products achieved greater weight loss than those that did not. How does it work? Studies show that meal replacements help to control calorie intake throughout the day.
4) Keep active.
Successful weight reduction and maintenance require pairing physical activity with changes to diet as an important part of their success. The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends a minimum of 150 minutes of physical activity each week to support weight loss. Physical activity promotes overall good health and contributes to good cardiometabolic health and positive mood.
5) Personalize your diet.
Reducing your overall calorie intake lies at the heart of weight loss. Many different diets have been studied for weight loss, and they differ in the types of foods and amounts allowed. The research shows that many diets support weight loss, and ultimately, the best dietary pattern for you is one that you can stick with, both during the weight-loss phase and in the long term.
6) Track your success.
Simply tracking your body weight every day and looking at the results (e.g. through an app on your phone) can help you lose more weight, and continued self-monitoring can prevent weight regain. Tracking behaviors overall is helpful for weight loss success. From tracking body weight, physical activity, and food intake to stress and sleep patterns, tracking helps you post patterns of what’s working and what’s not to help you gain control over areas you may want to focus more on.
7) Don’t focus solely on the scales.
It is easy to get caught up with how much the scale number is changing; however, don’t get disheartened if the numbers are not moving as quickly as you may like. Shifts in body fat and muscle mass that occur when you start a diet and physical activity plan may not show up on the scales but are critical for your overall health. Changes in fat stored centrally are particularly important, so keeping track of measurements like waist circumference give you an insight into how your hard work is paying off.

Weight Management
by Dr. Sadilek
Remember, prior to beginning a new diet, planning is essential for your success. Patients who are looking to achieve a weight loss goal can start with a Clear Change® Detox program from Metagenics for 10 to 28 days, depending on which plan is chosen. By starting a new diet with the detox, your metabolic efficiency would be maximized. Many patients also benefit from secondary metabolic injections added to their weight loss plan once every week to two weeks or a daily appetite suppressant available here in the office.
Also, consider what may be the root cause of the weight gain or inability to lose weight. Is it hormonal? Is it food allergy/intolerance related? Blood Work can determine hormone levels and food allergies and is covered by most insurances.
Weight management is at times a difficult road to navigate. Between different diets and types of approaches, our suggestion is to pick the diet that makes sense to you and your goals. Many patients opt for a modified paleo diet or a plant-based or Keto diet, for example. After two weeks of your new diet, reassess progress and decide what changes can be made for longevity and maximum weight loss results.

Start the Year Right with
Clear Change® 10 Day Program with UltraClear® RENEW and enjoy
20% off!
The Clear Change® 10-Day Program featuring UltraClear RENEW® is designed to enhance the body’s natural metabolic detoxification process while providing adequate fuel for both cleansing and other daily activities—providing energy and support for overall well-being. Many people benefit from completing a 10-day metabolic detoxification program two to three times a year.*
Metabolic detoxification is a natural bodily process that consists of 3 major detoxification pathways: Phase I (functionalization), Phase II (conjugation), and Phase III (antiporter activity). In this process, fat soluble compounds must undergo transformation and become water-soluble before they can be excreted.
The 10-day program is ideal for anyone wanting to benefit from an occasional “Spring Cleaning” or somebody who eats a reasonably healthy diet, exercises regularly, and manages stress adequately. It is also ideal for individuals who scored >30 on the Metabolic Detoxification Questionnaire.*
Experience a Clear Change
The Clear Change Program, recommended by your healthcare provider, includes key nutritional support you need to start helping you feel your best.* Get started today!

Humacel: The Best Defense Against Viruses |
Humacel is a product we have recommended for viral infections and immune protection for years.
The compounds in Humacel inhibit viral attachment to target host cells by blocking the glycoproteins (the “sticky” binding sites) on virus surfaces. The entire process of attachment to a host cell is halted, thereby arresting viral replication. This process also sends a signal to the immune system alerting it of the invader. This kicks the immune system into action against the virus that has been laid vulnerable by this coating.
The compounds in Humacel have been extensively studied and have proven to be effective in the inhibition of numerous viruses, including; coxsackie A9, influenza A, influenza B, herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2, HIV type 1 and 2, cytomegalovirus, Ebstein Barr virus, vaccinia virus, SARS, H5N1, H1N1, hepatitis C and others. (1, 2)
One study found fulvic acids capable of rendering vaccinia virus, HIV and SARS virus non-infectious and demonstrated fulvic acid’s ability to inactivate genetically diverse strains of influenza, including H5N1 (3).
Medical studies show that difficult respiratory illnesses common in children are readily resolved with Humacel dietary supplementation. With results like these, Humacel would be a worthy addition to a dietary regime during flu season. $51.00/bottle. 60 capsules.

your bottle of Humacel today.

6 Naturally Detoxifying Foods
By Metagenics.com
|
Add These Detoxifying Foods to Your Shopping List
Detox is a hot topic nowadays. Many detox programs promise to cleanse your body harmful compounds, and others tout weight loss and additional health benefits. Unfortunately, many of these detox methods involve a major dietary overhaul or giving up solid foods altogether, which may actually be harmful to your body. Because your body is in constant detox mode, you can encourage this process, correctly and effectively, by simply eating the right foods.
Scientific research has found that the nutrients, enzymes, and antioxidants found in certain whole foods can help support the liver’s detoxification pathways, prevent the buildup of toxins, and support overall health.
Chemicals and toxins are everywhere, but your body is built to fight back. Here are six of your top nutritional allies:
1. Cruciferous vegetables & leafy greens
Spinach, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts are among the folate- and chlorophyll-richgreens that support the body’s detoxification process by helping to detoxifythe blood and cleanse the intestines. All the more reason to go green! Broccoli deserves some special attention for its high concentrations of glucoraphanin, which is converted in the body to sulforaphane—an active compound associated with many positive health benefits, including its role in inducing phase II detoxification enzymes and support for overall liver health.
2. Turmeric
Used in many anti-inflammatory and detoxifying recipes, turmeric contains a powerful substance called curcumin, a polyphenol with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Science has found curcumin to play a role in modulating cellular response to oxidative stress—demonstrating hepaprotective and therapeutic effects on liver health.
3. Sesame
Commonly used in bread products, oils, and dressings, sesame is flowering plant that maybe beneficial for detox. Sulfur-containing amino acids methionine and cysteine—both of which are found at high levels in sesame—are precursors to the production ofglutathione, a key antioxidant in the detoxification process.
4. Beets
These pretty-colored veggies contain betanin, which can help repair liver cells and help support detoxification processes in the liver. It’s also great for digestion. Tell toxic chemicals to “beet” it!
5. Guacamole
No party spread is complete without it! Avocado has high concentrations of the antioxidant glutathione, which has been found to neutralize free radicals to support and protect the liver—i.e., your detoxification powerhouse. Why guacamole? Avocado in this form often uses other healthful ingredients, like cilantro. Also known as coriander, cilantro contains oils with antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidative properties. Pass the guac, please.
6. Garlic
Alongside its knack for warding off vampires, garlic may be beneficial for clearing out toxins. The sulfur-containing compound allicin, which gives garlic its unique and strong-smelling aroma, may enhance antioxidation and detoxification capabilities and has also demonstrated hepatoprotective effects against heavy metals in the liver.
Incorporating more of these foods into your diet can help support detox processes. Add them to your shopping list today!
