It’s the typical thing for most of us; start off the New Year by cutting out a few bad habits. Usually it’s something along the line of “Exercise more, eat less, or eat better food”. When we make these changes, we usually have a goal of losing weight and being healthier. To obtain whatever your goal weight is, it takes dedication and patience to get those results. Contrary to popular belief, there is no “Fast Track” weight loss program where you can lose 10 pounds a week and be healthy. It might be possible to drop 10 pounds in one week, but it might cause unintentional side effects that actually make you unhealthy. The goal with any weight loss is ultimately to look and feel healthier. At Innovative Health and Wellness, that is our goal and passion; making you feel and look the way you want to while striving for a healthy lifestyle.

This safe and effective approach to weight loss very effective in most cases.
Nutrition
Above all else, a proper diet is the most important component of a weight loss plan. Most people try to just cut calories in an attempt to burn fat. While some monitoring of caloric intake is important, if you starve yourself, your body will revolt and actually store fat. It also deprives the body of essential nutrients and vitamins that are vital to keeping all of your body functions running properly.

A great way to reach your weight loss goals is to have a regimented exercise program. This helps you to burn calories, strengthen your muscles, improve your cardiovascular system, and improve your general health. A proper exercise program is vital to living a full and healthy life. Our staff includes a highly trained physician that can help you to establish an exercise program specific for you goals and lifestyle.
