4 Proven Weight Loss Techniques for the Fall

Fall is my favorite time of year as the weather cools down, football heats up, and we begin to turn our attention to the holidays and the start of a new year. Although fall and winter are traditionally thought of as times when people gain weight (thanks to holiday parties and heavy winter clothes), fall can be a great time of year to drop a few pounds.

Here are 4 simple and proven ways to lose weight in the fall.

TV. You read that right – TV. Fall is when your favorite TV shows start their new seasons, your favorite football team starts playing, and when baseball crowns a World Series champion. Grab your shorts and headphones and get to the gym. You’d be amazed at how quickly time passes on the treadmill while you are watching your favorite show or game. I’ve used this trick a million times and it never ceases to amaze me how the time seems to fly by.
More/Better Sleep.  As the days get shorter there are more dark hours starting earlier in the evening. This means you can get to bed earlier and possibly sleep better in a dark environment than you normally do in the summer. In addition,  there’s something comfy about crawling under the covers on a cold dark night that’s conducive to good sleep. Getting enough quality sleep every night is essential to good health.
A Change of Wardrobe. The fall always brings out the sweatshirts and jeans leaving behind the bathing suits and revealing tops. Trying to lose weight by watching a scale is the worst possible way to go. I’ve always advocated people using a pair of pants (jeans) as a reliable guide to their progress (or lack thereof). Scales are useless, evil machines that only torment their users. Using your jeans to measure your progress will provide you with much less mental and emotional stress compared to watching numbers go up and down every day. Besides not watching the scale, wearing heavier clothes also takes the pressure off that you normally feel in the summer when you are reminded every day of how far you have to go. Use the change of wardrobe to take a mental break. Stop beating yourself up and focus that energy on learning to eat and exercise correctly.
A Change in Eating Habits. The colder months typically bring a change towards heavier comfort foods, but that doesn’t have to mean piling on more pounds. Fall is a great time to learn to use your crock pot to cook healthy chicken or turkey recipes and soups. There are many healthy comfort food recipes available on the internet that are quick, easy, tasty, and perfect for a cold evening.
There’s no excuse to gain weight during the colder months. While our ancestors may have needed extra fat to survive the winter months, we certainly have no need for such adaptations. Fall is a great time to get into some healthy habits from getting quality sleep to learning some new healthy recipes.

Your Doctor Can be Your Best Friend

When I went for my physical a couple months ago I told my doctor that I felt great except for 1 thing: I was exhausted all the time. I’d been falling asleep at work and spent most of every day thinking about how much I wanted to go back to bed. I mentioned that it didn’t seem to matter whether I was in bed for 5 hours or 9 hours, I still felt the same every day and it was really affecting the quality of my life.

After several questions, the good doctor surmised that I may have a sleep disorder, such as insomnia or sleep apnea and he referred me to a local sleep center for an evaluation.

To make a long story short, I spent a night at the sleep clinic (not a very pleasant night) and was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea and restless leg syndrome. Thankfully I escaped needing to wear a CPAP mask, but they did give me some medication to try and calm my legs at night. According to the study I was only sleeping 5 hours or less per night and my restless legs were constantly waking me up.

I put my skepticism aside and started taking the pills each night, and almost immediately I felt dramatically better. I felt like I was sleeping well at night and most importantly I felt awake and refreshed during the day. In the 2 weeks since I started the medication I haven’t fallen asleep at my desk and I’ve been in a much better mood and able to focus on other things besides wanting to go back to bed.

My point here is very simple: your doctor can be your best friend. While there is certainly tons of medical information on the internet, nothing beats a quick conversation with your doctor. In a matter of minutes he evaluated my symptoms, referred me to a professional, and I was on the way to a solution.

In retrospect, I had been suffering needlessly for a long time, dragging myself out of bed every day and struggling to drink enough Mountain Dew and 5 Hour Energy to keep me going until bed time. What a waste!

The past 2 weeks have served to remind me of the importance of my relationship with my doctor. Had I gone to see him earlier, I could have been evaluated and helped much sooner.

Learn from my mistake. If you haven’t seen your doctor in a while, make an appointment for a physical. If you’ve noticed a change in how you feel, tell your doctor and let them help you decide if it’s something needs to be looked at.
