Caitlin and Dr Steel would like to start doing a Friday afternoon weight loss class.
We were thinking it could start at 1.
We also want to start a “walk with your doc” group and meet at the park.
Anybody interested in those ideas?
If so, give your suggested days/times for the walking and let us know if Fridays work for you now that school is almost done for the year!

We talk a lot about protein, water, calories, and how to get enough of these things when working on weight loss.
It’s hard to get everything that you need every day!
That’s why we have been working with you to find things that can have 2 roles! Example: the protein that you can mix with water that we tried last week!
This week we talked about fruit! Fruit sometimes gets a bad rep but it can be an important part of weight loss! Not all fruits are created equal when it comes to health but this list contains some of the good ones! And, we talked about how frozen fruit can actually be better for you than fresh fruit (and can save money!!). Fruit has a lot of fiber (another important thing to work on when looking weight) and many other health benefits (anti-oxidants, lots of vitamins).
Check out this article. Eat your fruit by itself, with yogurt, in a smoothie, etc.
let us know how you like to eat yours!

The Best Frozen Fruits You Should Be Eating for Weight Loss, According to Dietitians Frozen fruits are a powerhouse when it comes to weight loss. Find out which frozen fruits dietitians want you to stock up on.

Next weight loss class is Sat at 8am!
No Ashland City class this week.
Hope to see you in Pleasant View!

We are looking for a church or other event space to rent for some larger weight loss classes.
Bonus if there is a kitchen space so that we can occasionally make some tasty treats to try!
Message us if you know of any potential spaces!
🧑‍🍳 💜

This week we are having 2 Saturday classes! One will be in Pleasant View, like normal.
The 2nd will be in Ashland City on the 2nd floor of the hospital at our new location!
We will be available at the AC location to start giving weight loss shots at 7:30am!
See you soon!

We added another class! Starting next week we will have class on Tuesdays too!
More class times coming soon!

Who wants to try protein water? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️
We will have samples to try at the weight loss class tonight!

Don’t forget about our May steps challenge!
Count your steps all month. At the end of the month we will be collecting totals and the winner gets a free weight loss shot!
Use a Fitbit, Apple Watch, the Health app on your phone, or any other fitness tracker!
Stay active and have fun!

We had a great weight loss class today! Standing room only!
In order to keep our class sizes a bit smaller (and give seats to everybody!) we will be adding another class option!
Next week only (for now!) on Saturday May 11 we will do classes in 2 locations!
We will continue our class in PV at 8am and also do one in our AC location (2nd floor of the hospital, suite 222) at the same time! The topic will be the same at both locations so nobody will miss anything!
We are hoping to hire some more providers so that we can do both locations every week very soon!
To summarize what we talked about today:
We talked about protein (again) and even had a potentially new source of protein for people to try. We all agreed that it’s hard to reach your protein goals. The homework for the week is to try lentils!
Her is the article we discussed if you would like to read it! I’ll add the recipes to the comments. Feel free to add your favorite lentil recipes here too!

8 Proteins You Should Eat Every Week, According to a Dietitian Looking for high-protein foods? Learn about what protein is and what it does, the best protein foods and delicious recipes to help you enjoy them.

We had a great weight loss topic this week!
Here is the article if anybody wants to read it again!
Today we also got to sample some smoothies, heard some great quinoa recipe options, and talked about some of our exciting new weight loss class options!

The smoothie we had today was: 1 cup of frozen strawberries, 1 cup of plain almond milk, 1 serving of coffee flavored Premier protein, and a small scoop of dry oats!
So yummy and filling and very low in calories!!
See comments below for more info about that smoothie!

We added another class! Starting next week we will have class on Tuesdays too!
More class times coming soon!

It’s still laser season! It’s the perfect time to work on removing some of that sun damage we have accrued over the years.
Check out these “before” and “after” pics!
Lower left is the before. On top of that is 2 weeks post laser. We offer dermaplane then to help remove even more of the dead skin. Then the right pic is the “after.” Most people need 2-3 treatments, spaced a month apart.
But, you can still notice a pretty significant improvement even after the first one!

Full face $199
Chest $199
Full face and chest $350
(Normal price is $250 per area.)
Must avoid the sun for 2 weeks prior to your laser treatment.

Another great week with many great gains in health and LBs lost!

Reminder: this week our focus was not exactly on the timing of carbs but more about the total overall amount of carbs! Remember simple carbs with 1-2 sugars break down quickly, so they are recommended 30 min before your workout. Complex carbs are 3 or more sugars, and take a little longer for your body to break down. Research shows having complex carbs 2-4 hours before workout is beneficial to having energy for your exercise, and then making sure to replenish your glycogen stores after your workout, up to 2 hours post-workout out. Here’s the two recipes of yogurt bark I made this week, remember you can add anything for desired flavor, protein or fiber value!!

Strawberry-Chocolate Greek Yogurt Bark This frozen yogurt bark is perfect for kids and adults alike. Studded with strawberries and chocolate chips, break it into chunks for a healthy snack.

Meet Rhonda.
She has lost 44 pounds so far and this is what she says!
“I have a lot more energy which makes me sleep better because I wear myself out. I feel more positive about the way I look and my clothes are fitting better. I have even bought smaller pants and tops. I don't feel as hungry and am able to do more things during the day.”

She has started drinking about a gallon of water, no longer drinks soda (had been drinking at least 1 per day before), and is now drinking unsweetened tea (had been drinking “a lot” of sweet tea before).

She also eats more regularly now (at least 3x/day instead of skipping a lot of meals).

Meet Hailey!
She is excited to share her story.
She has been working on weight loss for a few months and is feeling great after losing almost 40lbs!
She went from drinking as many as 15 cans of soda per day and NO water to drinking ZERO sodas per day and sipping on water all day long! She also went from NO exercise to exercising 3 days per week.
She feels that her mood has improved “a ton” and her self esteem has also improved dramatically.
She didn’t expect her anxiety/depression to improve but, to her surprise, she told us “they are basically gone now!”
She has worked hard! She no longer eats fast food (previously almost exclusively did); she cooks most of her meals at home now. This not only saves calories, it also saves money!
And, she had even found some healthy options from the freezer section of the grocery store for days that she doesn’t have time (or energy) for cooking.
See comments for one of her favorite frozen meals that is still a healthy option.
Here are some before and after pics. All that hard work is paying off!

We talked about protein again today at our weight loss class!
Why?
Because it’s hard!
It’s hard to get enough but we know how important it is. ☺️
When we lose weight, we want to lose fat, not muscle. And, the best way to ensure that we don’t lose muscle is to make sure we are eating enough protein!
Here are some of the things we talked about!

15 Easy Ways to Increase Your Protein Intake Getting enough protein is important for weight loss, muscle mass, and optimal health. Here are 15 easy ways to increase your protein intake.

We know weight loss isn’t easy for most people. That’s why we try to break it down into small, attainable goals. We know that there is no magic pill or shot. It takes hard work!

Meet Teresa! She’s lost 17lbs so far and this is what she has to say:
“I have learned how important protein is! I try to get at least 40-50 grams of protein in morning with a protein shake and fruit or a protein bar. This extra protein really jumpstarts my intake which, in turn, really cuts down on cravings and overeating at lunchtime. I never knew so much about protein until I started this weight loss journey. One thing for sure is that you have to eat. You cannot skip meals or go without eating. You will not lose the weight. I make every effort to plan meals or at least have a protein bar or shake at hand. I still find it challenging to meet my daily water goals, but I get close.”
Teresa has also made some non-scale victories!
“Clothes definitely fit better especially around the middle! My exercise is coming along better too. I am not as tired and am able to be much more active!”
