Technology Can Support Virtual Weight Loss and Remote Support

Remote coaching allows face-to-face weight loss specialists to shelve the debate over when our lives are going to return to normal and get on with the job of educating, supporting, and encouraging individuals who need to lose unwanted pounds now. In addition to serving clients in a face-to-face weight loss center, many weight loss specialists are becoming efficient at working with dieters who want to work remotely. Thanks to robust internet and cell phone capabilities, remote coaching can provide the guidance and support dieters need to lose weight and keep it off.  A key to successful remote coaching is to cultivate the long distance relationship to deliver the same level of education, support, encouragement, and celebration while primarily interacting remotely. After all, losing weight from home saves time and money at a time when both are scarce. Whether the education and guidance are provided face-to-face or delivered by applying the latest technologies, the execution of a remote weight loss plan should be simple.

If pandemic weight gain is making it difficult for you to complete your daily tasks, a remote weight loss program with personalized menus and remote coaching can get you started on the road to recovery before bad habits cause permanent metabolic damage, consider these tips:

• ADDRESS MAJOR DISTRACTIONS - As if there are not enough due to the coronavirus, distractions can quickly derail your progress in no time after launching a weight loss journey. Minimize all forms and guises that threaten your success.
• MAINTAIN A REALISTIC VIEW - Many people set unrealistic goals and make repeated attempts, often following the latest fad diet or weight-loss gimmicks, and not only fail to lose weight but often regain more weight due to the body’s rebound effect.
• AVOID PORTION DISTORTION - Beware of portion distortion. Some popular foods that most people consume as a single serving contains multiple serving sizes based on nutrition recommendations for that food type.
• PREVENT WEIGHT REGAIN - If you are overweight but do not have factors that indicate a higher risk of chronic health conditions, it is crucial that you do not gain any more weight. Even amount of weight gain could quickly increase your risk of developing a lifelong disease.

While you are trapped at home, it is the perfect time to step outside your comfort zone and experiment with preparing recipes based on whole foods, lean proteins, and fresh fruits and vegetables. Clean out your pantry and restock your kitchen with the right foods.

Some weight loss programs focus on improving your health while others are created with weight loss as the primary goal. Regardless of your goals, avoid menu plans that cut out entire food groups, as that can result in unwanted nutritional deficiencies that are not sustainable. Personalized menu plans based on consuming real food have been shown in research studies to improve health, provide a sense of satiety, and lose weight as well as being less restrictive when it comes to daily food choices. Factors like the amount of weight gain and problems with your current eating habits can affect how long it takes to see results. Nonetheless, if you stick to a personalized menu plan, you start to notice results within a couple of weeks. Metabolic Research Center can personalize a menu plan with a satiating diet filled with real foods that contain the protein, fiber, and healthy fats that promote a felling of fullness, so you are less likely to overeat.
