Smart Food Choices

Every day we make food choices, and for those of us seeking healthy options often find ourselves tripped up by seemingly safe if not favorable choices, only to find, well, read on…

avocado guacamole — Weight Loss Nutrition

Men’s Health exposed unhealthy ingredients lurking in many popular foods, serving up a reminder that we should always read the labels when buying any packaged foods.

Read Nutritional Labels

For regular readers of Dr Oksana Aron’s weight loss blog, you already know to read nutritional labels with special attention to sodium, sugar and fat, and especially artificial sweeteners especially high-fructose corn syrup.

She’s even advised that certain organic foods aren’t always good calories.

Make Smart Choices

Here are a couple more key examples of how food labels can expose the hype:

Duck the Dip

Even seemingly healthy avocado goes incognito when packaged as “guacamole dip” — watch out for such products offering even as little as two percent avocado. (Do you even want to know what the other 98% is?)

“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that American men eat 7% more calories than they did in 1971; American women [are eating] 18% more—an additional 335 calories a day!”

Low Hanging Fruit

Popular yogurt cups with fruit on the bottom are often really laden with so much sugar negating any real benefit of favoring yogurt for your diet. Consider adding your own fresh fruits to healthier yogurt brands.

Patient Review by Daphne S., 1/10/2019 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I went to Dr. Aron after trying a couple of other weight loss doctors and have had a great experience with her. She actually takes time to listen and provides amazing support for the physical AND the emotional things that go along with trying to lose weight. Most importantly, I’ve lost 22 lbs so far and I believe the changes I have made are sustainable in the long run!

Patient Review by Lola H., 8/9/2019 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Dr. Aron is, by far, the most incredible doctor I’ve ever encountered! Her compassion and genuine care for her patients is astonishing! I’ve been a patient of hers since 2014. Over the years, she has displayed patience, kindness, empathy and gives such motivation to patients struggling with their weight. Never judgmental. She offers great advice and support. I highly recommend Dr. Aron to anyone needing help with their weight. I want to thank her and her great staff for always making me feel at home!!!!

Commit Yourself to Change: Patient Review of Dr Aron, Medical Weight Loss

Author: Oksana Aron, MD Source: Weight Loss NYC May 22, 2017

Success Starts with You

What does it take to achieve weight loss success?

Every patient has a unique story to tell. The process is personal as well as clinical. Dr Aron provides the medical protocol, the patient incorporates the regimen into their lifestyle. Our program addresses the fundamentals you need to break through the struggles of your past.

Read a recent patient testimonial:

Commit Yourself to Change

“I have to offer my recommendation of Dr. Aron to anyone who wants to lose weight.

I recommend Dr. Aron wholeheartedly. She has a professional staff from the front desk to the technician to lab work if needed and finally her professional advice and plan.

She has a uncanny ability to empower the patient.

I tried many places and have had many excuses and failures before but like in life and others things we need to look within our own ability to commit to a lifestyle and behavior habit that we can work on one step at a time and be able to use for the rest of our lives.

If you want someone to hold your hand I suggest a pet but if you are serious about at least trying to commit yourself to change the way you look, then this doctor is genuine and very very organized and professional. I’ve come back to her now 3 times and thats for a reason.

She is the pilot and I trust the direction she is guiding me toward but I must stay focused and disciplined, and then and only then I will succeed. It’s no magic pill its your mind set … If appetite suppressant can help you along the way she will guide you for the short term with them Strongly recommend to anyone who is ready to not point blame to a doctor or themselves but to just move on and lose weight cause doing so will save your LIFE! This place is AWESOME!”

Weight Loss #attitude yields Weight Loss #Success

Author: Oksana Aron, MD Source: Weight Loss NYC Dec 5, 2016

She lost 45 pounds and is on track to keep losing more

Weight Loss Success

Keeping an eye on the target, she has been on her mark to reach her goal weight, having lost 45 pounds in 5 months and steadily moving ahead to the next level in her weight loss program. Motivation truly comes from within, make a mark inside yourself that you can do this and work hard to do it. It is ok to have your doubts — being realistic is important to maintaining proper perspective.

Conversely being too idealistic works against you — it is ok to dream but if you are pessimistic it works against your motivating force.

The Power of Attitude

Another rah for positive thinking: Having the right attitude can really affect you reaching your weight loss goals. A year-long study of obese patients evaluated their expectations and fantasy regarding their weight loss program. The study found these two aspects to affect success in opposite ways:

“… expectation and fantasy [differ … predicting] weight change in opposite directions. Optimistic expectations but negative fantasies favored weight loss. Subjects who displayed pessimistic expectations combined with positive fantasies had the poorest treatment outcome. Finally, expectation but not fantasy predicted program attendance.

How to Lose Weight Fast

Focus on the reasons and motivating factors that drive you to want to lose weight. Dr Aron and the team at WeightLossNYC™ can guide you to getting motivated and staying on track to lose weight in their comprehensive medical weight loss program.

Based on clinically proven guidelines, the weight loss programs offered by Dr Aron are the real medical treatment for obese and overweight patients. Call today at 718-491-5525 or visit WeightLossNYC.com
