Our FREE tips are based on the Lean for Life® philosophy for healthy weight management: “Eat Better,” “Move More” and “Stress Less.” We offer a collection of informative, helpful tips for each of these topics.

EAT BETTER provides insight on making better food choices. We know that it’s not possible to eat perfectly all the time. But becoming aware of how and what you’re eating is a great way to work toward your weight loss goal.

MOVE MORE offers tips and tricks on avoiding some of the traps and patterns that keep us inactive. Learn how to add activity into your daily routine easily—and effectively.

STRESS LESS focuses on tips for dealing effectively with the inevitable stresses that life throws our way. It’s not possible to avoid stress completely, or to always be perfectly relaxed, but we can choose how we respond in any situation. Our helpful strategies will show you how.

Weekly “Living Lean” Tips—suggestions from someone who’s discovered or developed a unique “success strategy” while on the Lean for Life® program—round out the offerings.

10,000 Steps

10,000 steps a day? That's right. That's the number of steps research suggests are needed every day to be an active person and maintain good health. At Lindora-managed clinics, staff and clients alike set 10,000 steps as a daily activity goal—and many of them exceed it!

How can you know how many steps you're taking over the course of a day? By using a pedometer. A pedometer is a small, lightweight device, worn on your shoe or belt, that counts every step you take—not just when you're "exercising", but as you go about your day. At the end of the day, clients write down the number of steps they've taken in their Daily Activity Planner, then push a button that clears the counter for the next day.

10,000 steps may sound like an awfully big number, but you'll probably be surprised to find out how many steps you take in a typical day.
