Michelle’s Weight Loss Success Story

“I feel amazing”

I decided to come to Nuviva because a girlfriend of mine had been through the program and every time I saw her I could see her transformation.  I have to be honest, I always thought weight loss centers were for those severely overweight.  I was getting to the point where I could lose 5lbs but then gain it back.  I have always exercised and thought I ate pretty well but knew I needed help to get to my goal weight and lose the layer of fat I had put on the last couple years.  I had lost my energy and my clothes were fitting very snug.
I met with Amy from Altamonte Springs and immediately she got me motivated and best of all gave me a plan to work with and follow.  I loved knowing what exactly I could eat and how much in each phase.  Meeting with her weekly to see my results kept me accountable.  I saw results every week because I was dedicated to this program and it kept me motivated to keep going.

 

 

I achieved my weight loss of 20lbs in about 8 weeks and I feel amazing.  I want to share my story with everyone because it does work and their four Phase program has proven to be successful.  Now it has become a lifestyle change for me and my family.  I encourage anyone with a weight loss goal to go through the Nuviva program. You will not regret it.
Amy, Natalie and the staff wonderful and very encouraging.

ACHES AND PAINS?!

 Trying to loss weight but suffer from arthritis, neck or back pain? Sometimes finding a way to burn calories without flaring up inflammation can be tricky. Swimming could be a good option and a great way to beat the heat during the summer season. With a little digging you may even find local swimming venues that offer free lessons to help you improve technique.

Party pleasers

I had the opportunity to try out my healthy banana cream dessert on a group of ladies for a bridal luncheon.  They really enjoyed it and were thrilled it was low calorie. So easy to make and delicious! For the party, I subbed single serving shortcake cups instead of the protein pancake. The recipe is in an earlier post. Enjoy

Burning the Right Calories for Weight Loss

Burning The Right Calories For Weight Loss

Burning calories is great for weight loss! But what happens if they’re the wrong calories? Meaning, what happens if we’re burning calories from muscle mass and not from fat? I’ll tell you what happens; we end up losing the wrong type of weight. Sure, the short term goal of weight loss is realized, but the long term goal of weight maintenance is never fully attainable because we just keep making it harder on ourselves.

Unfortunately, in our quest to lose weight, and to lose it as quickly as possible, we might make decisions that could negatively impact us for the rest of our lives. Some people might starve themselves to the point where the body has an extremely hard time burning stored fat. Other individuals might perform the wrong types of exercise and/or at the wrong intensity or volume, causing harm to their metabolism, and making it easier to accumulate fat. In many cases people might not consume enough protein, which in turn makes it harder for the body to preserve muscle mass during a caloric deficit.

All of the above examples are very real problems currently happening to many people searching for that holy grail of weight loss. Let me first start by saying the term “weight loss” should really be considered “fat loss”. Weight loss is the more popular phrase, but if we start thinking in terms of fat loss, we start training ourselves to create the right habits. When we’re educated on the correct fundamentals of fat loss, we set ourselves up for success.

Here at Nuviva, we stress the importance of the correct fundamentals to create the right habits and achieve optimal fat loss. Thankfully at Nuviva Medical Weight Loss we educate our patients in a manner where these fundamentals are understood, practiced, and realized in a fashion conducive to both short term and long term success. The principles of nutrition are of utmost importance, and patients are educated properly within each phase.

In my next blog, I will touch on the reasons why patients at Nuviva avoid the detrimental effects caused by some of the decisions mentioned above. It’s really as simple as following the nutritional principles, exercise guidelines, and using hCG as a tool for utilizing stored fat as an energy source for optimal fat loss.
