Weight Loss basics

One tip to quick weight loss is to try to avoid carbohydrate, especially early in your day. When you eat toast, potato and juice for breakfast your blood sugar skyrockets. Within a short period of time, your blood sugar crashes down dramatically making you “crave more carbs”, often feeling quite “irritable and hungry”. When dieting a more sensible idea for early in your day would be a nice size protein portion, (meat, fish, poultry) and a small amount carbohydrate. One or even two of our TMR (total meal replacements) is an ideal choice for breakfast, delicious, high protein, low calorie and quite filling.

Our products in addition to being very tasty, are particularly satiating, they fill you up. Our TMR (total meal replacements) provide high biological-value protein, low carbohydrate, and low fat, so they keep your blood sugar level, preventing that sugar crash therefore protecting you from cravings.

The Secrets of Weight Loss , diet information

The secret to weight loss is that there is NO secret, NO magic pills or shots, no Chinese herbal magical potions. Here is a simple truth; To lose one pound you need a calorie deficit of 3500. I repeat, you must consume 3500 calories less than your body requires to run its many complex energy utilizing functions.

Let’s do some math; as a man weighing 250 pounds you burn approximately 3250 calories a day to run your engines and maintain your stable weight. If you can go through your day eating 1250 calories, you will have a 2000 calorie deficit for the day.

(So for 7 days your calorie deficit is 14,000calories. (2000 X 7 = 14,000) and this should correlate with a 4 pound weight loss) a 3,500calorie deficit should deliver a 1 pound weight loss.

Therefore in this example;

7days X 2000 calories per day =14,000 calories per week: 14,000 calories divided by 3500 calories per pound weight loss works out to 4 pounds for the week, weight loss (ideally). (14,000 / 3,500 = 4 pounds)

It’s about that simple accounting for the calories; however the nutritional considerations get tricky since you must consume and absorb adequate protein, vitamins and minerals. Our supplements keep the calories low enough while providing all the nutrition you need.

The weight loss described above refers to ideal circumstances. Certain persons will just not lose weight according to the calculations. Your bariatric physician (weight loss doctor) may need to determine what about your metabolism is blocking weight loss. Perhaps appetite suppressants will be needed to help speed up your metabolism or quite often women need their clinical hypothyroidism treated and they can’t shed the pounds until they do, ask your doctor...

At American Physicians Weight Loss we would love to work with you in our clinic but if you can’t come to see us you might start losing weight slowly with the aid of our delicious meal replacements. Visit Our Protein Store and order, we will deliver them to your door.

Important reminder (REMEMBER a complete medical evaluation is essential before dieting, if your kidney and liver function is not adequate, higher protein intakes may cause severe health complications, even death, ask your doctor and read the disclosure below)

A basic plan for you;

To get started, determine a daily caloric level, say 1200 - 1500 calories and always be sure to write down everything you eat. Enjoy yourself with 1 or 2 great tasting protein TMR supplements (Total Meal Replacement) as a complete meal. (visit our Protein Store)

Sample Meal Suggestions;

As an example have a Berry Crème Smoothie for breakfast then a Chocolate Shake (TMR) for a snack. This will keep you hunger free for several hours. At lunch-time have a Strawberry Crème Smoothie then for an afternoon snack have a Creamy Chicken soup (TMR) or another protein supplement, maybe you would prefer one of our (TMR) Light Entrees.

That’s Great, you’re doing excellent. You have gone through most of the day on 400 or so calories, you’ve taken in 60 grams of healthful, fortifying muscle building protein, and you have already had more than 80% or 4/5 of all the vitamins and minerals you require daily. Most likely you have been quite satisfied, hunger free all day. That works out to 200-400 calories for breakfast and lunch. Now have a sensible dinner and you have got to lose weight. You might also enjoy Supplements for your Dinner; Or Protein fortified Supplements before a Workout at the gym;

You can dine on 1 of our TMR Entrees and have a Crisp n’ Crunch Bar for dessert. Maybe you would rather have a Creamy Shake or 2 as your entire meal; Still others prefer to munch on 2 tasty Crisp n’ Crunch bars for their dinner. Only 160-320calories &30gms protein, for Dinner and quite filling.

If you get Hungry late at night? We still have plenty of room for a late night or anytime snack- Have another Delicious Vanilla TMR Pudding/Shake only 100cal. & 15gms protein.

Remember to check with your doctor to see if dieting like this is safe for you. These supplements are meant to replace an occasional meal. You must be carefully monitored by a doctor when eating less than 1200 calories a day.

You can see with a little ingenuity on your part you can mix and match great tasting, fortified, protein packed meals out of our supplements. In addition you can rest assured you are getting the micro and macronutrients you need while keeping low enough in calories to lose all the weight you desire. (but please, check with your doctor)
