Food substitutions the weigh station recipes

Food Substitutions

At The Weigh Station, we never want our patients to feel overwhelmed with their nutritional choices. You are always welcome to ask our team any questions you may have, and we invite you to visit our substitution page to explore options for healthier food choices! In order to lose weight, you have to burn more calories than you consume, which means getting creative with your meals. For example, we encourage you to swap out starchy, calorie dense foods like mashed potatoes with healthier alternatives such as cauliflower mashed potatoes. Find more suggestions like this on our food substitutions page!

The holidays can be a difficult time to avoid over-indulging in fattening foods. Plus, well-meaning family and relatives can say or bring meals that are extra tempting. At The Weigh Station, we help our patients navigate Thanksgiving and Christmas with confidence through our special menu. Here you will find delicious holiday cuisines that come with zero guilt! We introduce tasty air fryer meals and even ways to eat pizza without falling off the wagon.

Dips, Dressings And Dry Rubs Recipes

Many store bought dips and dressings get a bad rap. This is because many of these store bought products tend to contain preservatives and ingredients that make items last longer but are not healthy. Instead of grabbing one off the shelf at your local grocery store, we provide you with dips and dressings that are easy to whip together. From delicious salad dressings to compliment your meal like cilantro avocado to dips like the hot chicken and artichoke dip, you’ll discover eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring! We also provide our client with easy to make condiments and dry rubs such as bbq dry rub, basil pesto and wild mushroom turkey gravy. We turn bland eating into delectable dishes with these quick recipes. Most of them can be put together in just a few minutes!

Pre workout the weigh station recipes

Pre/Post Workout Recipes

Knowing what to eat before and after your workout is key to seeing results. These recipes include foods to eat before you exercise, as well as when to eat them. Studies show that eating carbohydrates before you workout may help you perform better. This is because carbohydrates are your main source of energy. The more energy you have, the longer you are able to exercise and at a higher intensity, therefore burning more calories. This doesn’t mean you should eat a bowl of pasta before hitting the gym. Check out our page on pre/post workout to discover tips and tricks on eating and exercising!
