Smithtown and Selden Weight Loss Program for Healthy Bodies

Between the fast food drive-thru, sugary sodas and carb-filled meals, it’s easy to pile on the weight but a lot harder to take it off. If you’ve tried unsuccessfully to lose weight before, you know that the hardest part of losing weight is getting started. It’s easy to say, “I’ll start tomorrow – just one more night of ice cream!” and never make the commitment to health. At Block Chiropractic, our Smithtown and Selden weight loss program has helped hundreds of patients lose weight and most importantly, keep the weight off.

Take Shape for Life Program Naturally Aids Weight Loss and Pain Management

A healthy weight is more than just obtaining a number on the scale. A critical component to successful weight loss is understanding that not all pounds are the same and that appearances can be deceiving. Two adults may weigh the same, but if the majority of one adult’s weight comes from body fat rather than lean muscle mass, this adult is at serious risk for obesity-related problems, including heart disease and diabetes. Lean muscle mass, on the other hand, actually helps you burn more calories--even when you are at a state of rest.

Block Chiropractic chiropractors, Dr. Jeffrey Block and Dr. Richard Block, have designed a proven program that is based on science – and gets results. Our chiropractor will evaluate your body for body fat percentage, body water percentage and basal metabolic rate (the number of calories you burn while at rest). This body composition analysis helps us determine the optimal nutritional balance for your body.

Our Take Shape for Life program helps you blast off body fat while building lean muscle for a healthier body. The first phase in our program is the 5 & 1 Plan. Pair any five Medifast meals with one lean and green meal each day. Medifast choices include shakes, drinks, bars, soups, chilis, scrambled eggs and more. A lean and green meal is seven ounces of cooked lean meat (boiled, grilled, baked or poached) with three servings of healthy green vegetables.

Successful weight loss cannot be achieved through a gimmicky, fad diet. Unfortunately, fad diets are not based on science but rather starvation, depriving the body of essential nutrients so that when you go off the diet, you immediately gain all the weight back – and then some. Losing weight requires a complete lifestyle change that reboots your body. Smithtown and Selden patients chose our Take Shape for Life program because it does just that--resetting the balance of your body with healthy, nutrient-rich meals.

The Take Shape for Life Program is one component of our approach to optimal health. We believe that wellness is more than just the absence of pain or injury. For us, optimal health is a combination of a healthy body, a healthy mind and healthy finances.Our chiropractor is dedicated to helping you achieve optimal health through chiropractic care, nutrition counseling and lifestyle advice.

Nutrition counseling is also important if you are recovering from an injury like a herniated disc. Proper nutrition will help your body heal faster. For example, inflammation can exacerbate pain associated with a herniated disc. Lean protein boosts muscle mass and helps soft tissue injuries heal while antioxidants reduce inflammation and are essential to pain management.
