While meal planning is essential to weight loss or weight management, it can be challenging for many.

The Effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder

Lisette Volz — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 21:51:24 +0000

When I reflected on the crankiness that characterized my last blog, it occurred to me that for months I have been sunlight-deprived. I leave my house at 8:00 am and return just as darkness has descended, around 6:00 pm. In addition, I rarely leave the Hilton Head Health campus during the workday. Thus, my daily [...]

Coaching Corner: The Scale – Terrorist or Tool?

Linda Hopkins — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 14:15:40 +0000

Many of my coaching clients ask, “Should I weigh myself?” My standard answer is to ask a couple of questions: 1) Do you think you need to weigh? 2) What does the number on the scale mean to you? Many people are terrified of the scale. I know, because I was one of the terrorized. [...]

Friday Fitness: Super Bowl Fit

Adam Martin — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 20:48:10 +0000

The big day is approaching and the parties have begun! Since I wasn’t invited to bask in the pregame revelry with 50 cent, Lil Jon, Pitbull or the Bunnies I figure the next best thing would be to honor the arrival of 2012’s biggest sports event with a workout. So, slowly back away from the 12 [...]

Super Bowl Sunday is almost here. It will be a day of intriguing match ups, Brady vs. Eli, Belichick vs. Coughlin and good (the Giants) vs. evil (the Patriots).

Meet Kelly the Vegetarian

Alicea Glover — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 18:51:39 +0000

Many Guests who visit Hilton Head Health have questions about their diet, especially if “going vegetarian” will help in losing weight more rapidly. Although there are some benefits to adapting a vegetarian diet, we believe that it should be something you consider as a lifestyle change and not necessarily a “diet.” Meat provides your body with protein and many other [...]
