HUNGER CONTROL The number of calories we consume and burn is THE MOST IMPORTANT thing to consider when losing weight, but other factors can make a difference in how hungry or satisfied we feel. To control hunger, focus on:
PROTEIN
FIBER
FLUIDS
STRESS
SLEEP

Tracking calories can be an invaluable tool for weight loss, but daily caloric recommendations are generically based on age and gender. We take a more individualized approach and offer our patients metabolic testing to measure how many calories they burn at rest, i.e., how many calories they burn each day without exercise. Take the guessing out of the equation; let’s make a weight loss plan tailor-made for you.

ARE ACAI BOWLS GOOD OR BAD? Acai fruit is fantastic- it’s low in calories, a good source of fiber, and high in antioxidants. However, most acai bowls are NOT helpful for weight loss. For a 1200-calorie diet, patients with obesity could allocate 200-300 calories for breakfast (if they eat 300-400 at lunch & 600 at dinner). The acai bowl options at restaurants QUICKLY climb to 600+ calories with a handful of toppings, many of which are very calorie-dense (I’m looking at you, peanut butter and cashews). If you’d like to make your own, consider a bowl with 1 cup of acai berries, 1 scoop of protein powder, and 1 cup of berries for about 250 calories.

We can factor in your current fitness, weight loss goals, other health factors, and personal preferences to create a weekly schedule that feels doable.

W.C. Handy Music Festival Week One Highlights! Wednesday night, we celebrated National Hot Dog Day courtesy of The Chicago Cafe after a bite at Lost Pizza Co. Shoals. Thank you, Taylor, for taking care of our big party! Later we spotted our Odette friend, Hudson, playing guitar! On Thursday, we had our photo taken in Mobile Plaza by The TimesDaily, between Lucie Tiger and North Mississippi Allstars. Thank you to Eli Hannon for your awesome cover of a cover by The Tesky Brothers (one of our favorites!), at the GunRunner Bar & Rooftop on Friday. And great job to the Downtown Florence Alliance; the lights and shade sails look great! We can’t wait for more this week!

COMFORT FOOD WITHOUT THE CALORIES The South LOVES some , but it can eat up half of your calorie intake for the entire day if you're not careful. Keep it under 500 calories by substituting a Bisquick biscuit made with unsweetened almond milk rather than buttermilk biscuits, choosing plain, ground turkey, seasoned generously, and adding a fried egg. This lean preparation boasts 32g of protein.

HUNGER PAINS ARE REAL, but they don’t last. They generally pester us for about 20 minutes and then subside, whether we eat or not. If your stomach is grumbling or you just FEEL like eating before your next planned meal, decide on a strategy that helps you delay. Try drinking a calorie-free drink, chewing some gum, taking a walk, or setting a timer first. If you still feel intense hunger, then
1. Choose a calorie-light snack such as fruits, vegetables, or lean meats.
2. Eat as little as it takes to curb your hunger. Start with a small serving and put the rest away.
3. Don’t eat mindlessly. Sit down with a plate and enjoy the break. Include another calorie-free drink.

SALMON 2.0 No children were harmed in the making of this dinner. Let your teens dice, roast, and grill tonight! Last time we served this quick salmon with leftover rice and green beans; it goes with a lot, so pair it with whatever you have on hand. P.S. Everyone needs to work on their crab fingers to hold food while cutting.

CAGRISEMA DECREASES CALORIC INTAKE 62% IN NEW STUDY Another study released at the conference looked at how many calories patients took in while on versus a placebo. Placebo patients increased their caloric intake by 1.9% while patients taking the once-weekly injectable decreased their daily calories by an average of 1,750 calories–over 62 percent! The medicine works by suppressing hunger and reward eating, which lowers our drive to eat. That decrease in caloric intake resulted in an observed mean weight loss of 15.8% after 20 weeks.
