Weight Management

Sustainable weight loss advice focusing on real foods and long-term principles.

We can help you lose stubborn fat using proven ideas. We will not make any outlandish promises or guarantees about how many pounds you'll lose in the first month. Instead, we'll teach you how to be healthy and eat and exercise properly, and the weight will take care of itself. This process may be slower than the new fad diet, but it will work, it will be sustainable, and you won't relapse into your old habits because you made too many changes too quickly.

Weight Management FAQs

How do I start losing weight?

A good place to start is to cut out useless midday snacking. The ingredients in most "snack foods" are appalling, and you'll likely eat more calories than you intended as your hand mindlessly reaches into the bag. Another great idea is to start reading the label on everything you eat to know where the calories and artificial ingredients come from. Look out for hydrogenated vegetable oils (soybean oil in ranch dressing for example). They destroy your metabolism!

Does counting calories help?

Yes and no. Yes, you will need to go into a calorie deficit to lose weight, but quality is more important for long-term results. We don't believe in tracking macros at Paragon, as we are proponents of intuitive eating. That said, it can be useful in the beginning to help get you on track.

What are the best foods?

Natural whole foods are the best to lose weight, and health in general. As stated in other sections on our site, we believe the best path to sustainable weight loss is to simply get healthy first, and let the weight take care of itself. Obsessing over losing fat and the number on the scale is not a winning formula for most people. Specifically, meat, seafood, fruit, vegetables, and honey would comprise a diet that promotes overall health and catalyzes weight loss. Note: there were no grains listed.

Why should I pick you?

We can help you lose weight, and not put it back on. Our focus on holistic health guides our decision making process, so not only will you shed pounds, but you'll become healthier at the same time. We stress the importance of long-term thinking and sustainable results. There is no point in yo-yo dieting! This is why we don't make "lose x pounds in x months" promises!
