Perhaps the season’s emphasis on “boardwalk banquets,” pool-side margaritas and drive-by ice cream vendors has caused you to gain a few extra pounds. There are several steps you can take now to help you keep your weight from escalating and still enjoy some of your fun-in-the-sun favorites.
“If you have eaten too much during the summer, cutting any amount of calories will help you lose weight. Increasing daily activity will also help, starting with a daily 30-minute walk while the weather is still beautiful,” said registered dietitian Angela Shaw, D.T.R., coordinator of “The Healthy Weigh” weight management program offered at Cooper University Hospital’s out-patient locations in Cherry Hill and Voorhees.
