- Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA (1888PressRelease) March 07, 2014 - Looking for credible, proven, useful weight loss tips? You'll find more than 700 tips in The Mommy MD Guide to Losing Weight and Feeling Great, like these:
"I recently created my own diet. I call it VEGLY. I eat as many servings of vegetables, eggs, grapefruit, lean meats or Lean Cuisines, and yogurt as I want. If I stick with that all day, I earn a treat: a glass of beer or wine or a small dessert. I've lost six pounds so far!-"- Amy Baxter, MD, a mom of three, the CEO of Buzzy4Shots.com; and the director of emergency research, Scottish Rite, of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, in Georgia
"After my son was born, I worked with a personal trainer. He gave me a simple piece of advice that has really helped: Don't eat any carbs after 7 pm. I try not to eat at all after 7 pm, but if I do, I'll have something high in protein, such as a piece of cheese or a hardboiled egg."-Shilpa Amin-Shah, MD, a mom of two and an emergency physician and director of the recruiting team at Emergency Medical Associates, in Livingston, NJ
"I have a very long commute. Because of this, I "live" in my truck several days a week, driving to and from some rather isolated areas in the Appalachian Mountains. Sometimes, after a hard day of working and driving, I'm almost tempted to pick up a slice of pizza and a bag of chips at a gas station on the way home. A trick I use to eat properly on the run is what I call my "cooler diet." I put everything I want to eat for the day in a nice, roomy cooler. If it's not in the cooler, I don't get to eat it-no questions. So that means I don't get to eat the chocolate that's everywhere around me at work, or the yummy-looking cream-filled doughnuts that one of the nurses brings in from the doughnut shop for breakfast.
I pack my cooler the night before work with lots and lots of whole and nutritious foods and beverages-apples, pears, oranges, and cut-up veggies with low-fat dip. A couple of bottles of water and some unsweetened tea. A container of yogurt, some string cheese, and a bag full of nutritious trail mix. A box of low-fat granola cereal. I pack as much food as I can fit into my cooler. The only rule I have is that the food I pack must contribute to my overall good health and support a healthy weight."-Rallie McAllister, MD, MPH, a mom of three, a family physician, and the coauthor of The Mommy MD Guide to Pregnancy and Birth, in Lexington, Kentucky.
"Want to "lose" 10 pounds in an instant? Sit up straight, pull your shoulders down and back, and arch your back to get "cheerleader butt." By pulling your shoulders down, your neck looks thinner, and with a C-curve in your lower back, your thighs and tummy look thinner. Voilą, you'll look 10 pounds slimmer."-Jennifer Hanes, DO, a mom of two, an emergency physician who's board certified in integrative medicine, and the author of The Princess Plan: Shrink Your Waist, Expand Your Beauty, in Austin, TX
