Weight Management
The staff at Aegis recommends keeping your weight as close as possible to your ideal body weight range. We know how challenging it can be with a busy schedule or if you are working from home/quarantined. You are not alone. Even the staff at Aegis works hard to constantly balance activity and food intake. We do know that having less body mass and not being overweight is important for many facets of your health. It is super important for joint health. If you have arthritis, losing weight and getting fit is an excellent first line of defense in battling the arthritis. If you are overweight, less poundage on your abdominal area also will significantly decrease back pain.
To that end we recommend a vegetable and fruit based diet with some protein at meals. We also love to substitute the paleocleanse – a pea based protein shake from Designs for Health. We find that the shake is tasty and filling! It also seems to help control hunger. Use the Paleocleanse or Paleomeal to substitute for lunch or breakfast or both to help lose weight. So for a healthy meal substitute, we recommend the Design for Health Paleocleanse or Paleomeal drinks and the Meal Bars. We use them ourselves and for our families and have been very happy with the products.
We are now able to offer you diets with a full shopping list, meal plans, and recipes. This can be sent to you via email and includes a wonderful App called Well World that helps you track your progress. After a consultation with one of our therapists, we are happy to send you the diet for free. This is just another way we can help you care for your body and your health. There are many different diets available including a clean eating guide, food diary, Mediterranean diet, low sugar challenge, ketogenic, paleo cleanse, vegecleanse, and more. If you are interested in a consultation or any product on the designs for health programs, please send us an email at info@aegisphysicaltherapy.com. For patients in this program we are able to offer discounts on the pricing for products at Designs for Health. Contact us for more details.
