Common Weight Loss Mistakes

OK, you are reading this, so it is safe to assume you want to lose weight. I bet you are anxiously looking for tips "to do" and a diet to "go on," but those are not the things that you really need to know. Many women spend an average of 20 years "dieting," yet we still do not know a lot about what to do right. Apply this list of things NOT to do to your healthful regimen, and spare yourself many of the pitfalls that derail most dieters.


Choose to be healthy,

  1. Going on any diet that is NOT a manner of eating that you can adhere to for the rest of your life. Be careful when deciding what nutritional plan you want to follow, as it should be a manner of eating that matches your tastes, budget and lifestyle.
  2. Consuming processed foods more often than fresh foods. Eating as close to natural is the best way to ensure that your body is as healthy as possible.
  3. Not living each day to the fullest,thinking that it will come when you are thinner. Be, do and then you will have! BE a healthier person, DO the things a healthier person does and soon, you will HAVE a healthier life.
  4. Thinking that "dieting" sprees -- and not a total lifestyle change -- will garner lasting weight loss results. If you aren't changing your life, you aren't making lasting changes.

Is Wine Good For You?
In moderation and as part of an overall healthy diet, the short answer is yes.



Thanks to its alcohol content and non-alcoholic phytochemicals (natural occurring plant compounds), wine has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, certain cancers and slow the progression of neurological degenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease.

However, the amount of wine you drink matters tremendously. Drink more than what’s recommended, your health benefits are lost and your health risks go up. Here’s what’s considered safe and effective:

Men: No more than two drinks per day.
Women:No more than one drink per day.

One drink is defined as a 5-ounce glass of red or white wine.

Enjoy a Healthy Pairing: Yoga & Wine Event at Hall's of Fine Wines on Feb. 18th at 7:00pm. Café Physique will be teaching an exciting Yoga class followed by a healthy wine tasting.

How to Love Your Body
According to the National Organization for Women, 80% of U.S. women are dissatisfied with their appearance. This boils down to only one out of every five women having a positive self image.

Join us in celebrating "Love Your Body Month" by holding your head high, supported by confidence in yourself and your body:


  • Think of your body as the car of your dreams. Honor it. Respect it. Fuel it.
  • Don't let your weight or shape keep you from activities that you enjoy.
  • Keep a list of 10 positive things about yourself - without mentioning appearance. Add to it!
  • Eat when you're hungry, and rest when you're tired.
  • Surround yourself with people who remind you of your inner strength and beauty.
  • Live life passionately. You won't want to waste time hating your body.
Café Physique has developed Nutrition & Wellness Programs, based on loving your body, to help with successful weight management.
