2008-11-21T00:46:15Z Dr. Richard Kelley Copyright 2008, Dr. Richard Kelley SPHPBLOG So today, I am going to encourage each and everyone who reads this blog, to look forward as we enter this new holiday season and as we usher in a fresh change of philosophy and direction of our country, to first focus on YOU and your own health.
You have two months before January 1, 2009 roles in. How you approach this time will dictate whether you are healthier as we begin the New Year, or whether you are fighting the same battle you've fought at this same time in the years past.
Take control of YOUR healthcare, by Caring for Your Health.
We wish you all the best for this coming holiday season and the coming New Year.
Sincerely, Dr. Kelley.]]> http://www.physiciansway.com/site/index.php?entry=entry081106-123945 2008-11-06T00:00:00Z 2008-11-06T00:00:00Z In fact, I encourage just about all of my patients to eat in this manner. The key to making this work in the most simple and effective way possible is, I believe by optimal supplementation. Many of my patients ask if its OK to eat their own food. This can be tough to answer on one hand, as it is often 'their own food' which has been responsible, at least in part, for their weight-gain.
What we really try to focus on, here at Physician's Way, is teaching which of 'your own food' is helping feed your muscle or which is actually feeding your bodyfat.
If our patients can learn which types of 'store-bought' foods are geared toward supporting lean healthy muscle and encouraging those types of 'clean' foods, we can help simplify their daily nutrition by encouraging 'known' protein rich supplements (shakes, protein bars and protein based healthy snacks) to round out the daily menu. Supplementation is a Key strategy for long-term success in managing one's weight and supporting optimal fitness, whether you are a fitness athlete or simply someone wishing to remain lean and healthy throughout your life. Again, Your Body Will Be a Visual Reflection of the FUELS that you feed it.
Feed your body like your life depends on it, because....it does.
As always, live well, eat well and be well!

A really nice alternative for those of you looking for something to meet your Tex-Mex Fix in a fairly low calorie, healthy sort of way.
Until next time!]]> http://www.physiciansway.com/site/index.php?entry=entry080820-162333 2008-08-20T00:00:00Z 2008-08-20T00:00:00Z Have a great day?

Cardiovascular exercise is a healthy and necessary component of any good weight loss program. Unfortunately, although it burns a certain amount of calories during and shortly after engaging in this activity, it has a limited ability to elevate the metabolic rate for a long period of time, as does weight training.
Challenged, well fed muscle burns fat! Please keep this in mind, especially if you're engaging in a fitness routine without the incorporation of strength training, or you're exercising, but can't seem to progress with your weight loss.
All the Best.

Jack Lalanne and Joe Weider have influenced untold numbers of people throughout the years with their contributions to the world of fitness. They have certainly influenced and sold me on this way of life. It is my goal to pass along their knowledge and passion for living a fitness oriented life to my patients and friends alike, as well as attempting to live this lifestyle myself.
Until next time, Live Well, Live Fit!

All the best for this coming New Year. We hope you live it in the best of health, happiness and prosperity.

Also, think hard about how you know that you'll feel if you over-indulge at any time over the next 6 weeks. Think about where you want to be, how you want to feel, and how much you want to weigh on January 1st 2008.
It is possible to buck the trends that so many people expect, and actually continue to lose weight over the holidays.
Focus on higher protein (eat the turkey), low carb (limit the pies, cakes, candies, mashed potatoes and stuffing), low fat ( limit the giblet gravy, butter, and sauces). Also, limit your alcohol intake, if you drink.
Make it a point to exercise at least a little everyday over the holidays.
Give yourself a big holiday gift this year....A healthier you at the beginning of the pending New Year!
Happy Holidays from Physicians Way to all of our patients. We wish you the very best for your health and happiness for the coming year.
