As a 30ish year old woman working in the bariatric field while trying to lose weight herself, I hope that this blog can give an educational and personal view on weight loss from a medical perspective.

Little Diet Do-Overs
In addition to already trying to limit eating out (especially fast food!), a change in my diet that I have been working on this month has been trying to significantly cut back on red meat and pork as well as fried foods. I am pleased that I have not eaten beef for the past three weeks and have only eaten pork once. However, while I have definitely reduced my intake of fried foods, I personally feel that I can cut back on the amount even more significantly to once a week. I am also trying to increase my water intake on a daily basis to a more adequate amount of at the very least 64 ounces (eight 8 ounce glasses of water). In addition to continually improving upon these changes, next month, I am also going to work on decreasing how much rice I eat, and whenever I do eat it, I'm going to try to make it brown rice instead of white. For me, I hope that by making small changes at a time on a monthly basis, it will be easier to stick to them in the long run and have them become more permanent positive lifestyle habits versus trying to do a major dietary overhaul all at once. I also hope that you all are doing well in making the changes you need to help continue your weight loss progress. Good luck and stay positive!
