Dr. Tommy Martin, a Boston-based physician who specializes in internal medicine and pediatrics, has shed light on his top five weight loss tips that do not involve counting calories.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo. 1, sleep seven to nine hours a night, every single night. That\u2019s gonna help regulate your hunger hormones,\u201d Martin advised.<\/p>\n
Experts suggest clocking this time by maintaining a steady sleep schedule with a set bedtime, turning off digital devices at least a half hour before bed, and forgoing late afternoon and evening caffeine.<\/p>\n
\u201cStill allow yourself to have other foods that you may enjoy that could be packaged or processed,\u201d Martin recommended.<\/p>\n
Jenna Rizzo, a women\u2019s weight loss coach from Georgia, said 80% to 90% of her diet comes from fresh, whole food sources and the rest is \u201cfun\u201d food.<\/p>\n
\u201cExercise in a way that you enjoy as often as you can,\u201d Martin counseled. \u201cFor me, that\u2019s strength training and doing cardiovascular exercise.\u201d<\/p>\n
Martin said he prefers strength training because more muscle mass means a higher basal metabolic rate, which is the estimated number of calories your body burns at rest.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you don\u2019t like the taste of water for whatever reason, it\u2019s OK to use calorie-free flavor packets, regardless of what the fitness gurus online want to tell you,\u201d Martin said.<\/p>\n
Hydration needs vary from person to person, especially in the summer, but experts generally suggest trying to consume \u00bd an ounce to 1 ounce of water per pound of body weight each day.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo. 5, do not do this alone,\u201d Martin declared. \u201cFind a community that you love and can trust and that you can be real with, that you can share your victories with and your hardships, so that they can help keep you accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cI know so many people on this journey feel like a failure because they\u2019ve lost weight, regained it, lost it and regained it. A lot of people do that, but that does not mean that you\u2019re done and that doesn\u2019t mean that you cannot achieve sustainable long-term weight loss.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. Tommy Martin emphasizes the importance of a balanced approach to weight loss, focusing on whole foods, regular exercise, sufficient sleep, and staying hydrated, while also acknowledging the value of a supportive community.<\/p>\n
