Well, hello, hello, guys. You're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. K. Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon, and it's time for a five-minute Friday.

And we have the beautiful Teddy Mellencamp with us today. Hi. K. Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon and it's time for a five minute Friday and we have

the beautiful Teddy Mellencamp with us today. Hi, thank you so much for having me. I'm excited to be here.

I am so impressed with your weight loss story and I thought you're the best person to give us

five tips for the five minute Friday on weight loss. Of course. I think the most important thing is to figure out your why, why you're doing something. If you're doing something just because you want to lose weight, because you want to look good on spring break, it's not going to happen. But if you want to change your life, if you want to feel better and you want to start taking action on some of the things that have made you unhappy, which maybe that's not moving your body. Maybe it's drinking a bunch of diet soda versus water. Maybe it's, you know, instead of using food as fuel,

using it as almost punishment, people start to do those things to themselves. I think the key

to changing your life is, one, having accountability. So whether

that's with my program or with a friend, your partner, whomever it is, accountability, and

starting believing that trust system within yourself. When you say you're going to do something,

you're going to do it. It could be, I'm going to walk 20 minutes a day. So accountability

partner, some sort of activity. Figure out what you like. What drives me nuts is when people are like, oh, do I need to run this much? Or do I need to be able to lift this much? Or what works? What works is what you can be consistent with and what you will actually continuously do. So find out what you like. I don't like Pilates, I don't go to Pilates.

I like to hike.

So that's huge.

Another key thing is oftentimes we say we can't cook for ourselves and our family and do it

in a healthy way.

Ultimately, we want to be teaching our family from the beginning to eat the rainbow.

You want to eat all of the different colors.

You want to learn what you like, what you don't like.

And so learning how to grocery shop, that's something we can help you with.

Because oftentimes you choose the quick solution.

Don't wait.

Tell us eat the rainbow, so that means eating fruits and vegetables that are red, orange, green, blue, yellow.
