If you've watched any health-related news lately, you know that obesity is a serious problem in the United States. In fact, it's one of the most common chronic diseases we've ever seen, with nearly two in three American adults suffering from plus-sized waistlines. That comes out to almost 78 million people affected by obesity in one way or another. It's a sobering, scary statistic that doesn't seem to be getting better.
Obesity in America causes a wide range of issues, like:
It's easy to point at a large person and call them things like "undisciplined," but if you're struggling with weight issues, you know it's not that easy. It's not like you want to look like you do or go through the daily stresses that being overweight can bring. Maybe, if you're many others, you've tried just about every diet there is to try, only to fall back into your bad habits. Millions of people make weight loss progress every year but end up failing and gaining more weight than before. Or perhaps there are other factors at play that prevent you from losing the weight you want.
Either way, you know you've got a problem that needs to be addressed, but how can you fix it for good? Should you try another diet that promises super-quick results? The resounding answer to that question is "no!" Long-lasting weight loss doesn't happen overnight. It happens with time, planning, persistence, and professional help provided by doctors and coaches who care.

Here at Nutrifit40, we get dozens of questions every day about the best ways to lose weight. One of the most common questions is, "Is it really necessary to go to a medical weight loss clinic in Tampa, FL? Can't I just go to the gym?"
Going to your local gym for a good workout is a fantastic idea, but unfortunately, it isn't enough for many people. Despite taking the steps we think are necessary to lose weight, sometimes we never hit those lower cholesterol numbers. As a result, many of us are left confused and discouraged, creating a never-ending cycle with mediocre results.
That's where medical weight loss clinics like Nutrifit40 come in.
Medical weight loss facilities are clinics where average folks can get medical assistance to lose weight. Most clinics, like Nutrifit40, give patients access to knowledgeable physicians and helpful coaches who are educated and trained to help them lose weight.
Typically, patients also benefit from diet counseling and informational sessions about how their diet affects their bodies and increases the risk of diseases like hypertension. To help fortify their journey back to healthy living, most clinics include personalized weight loss plans. Unlike other diets, these plans are tailored to each patient's needs and help you incorporate incremental lifestyle changes into your day-to-day life.
At Nutrifit40, we know how hard it can be to take the first step toward signing up for a medical weight loss program. Luckily, our team of doctors and coaches will be there for you every step of the way as you take steps to reclaim your health. Preparing for your body transformation takes place over three easy and fun-to-follow steps:
Step 1
Get set up with your first no-stress body-positive weight loss clinic appointment at Nutrifit40 by calling our office or requesting an appointment online using our contact form.
Step 2
Meet with one of our highly-trained health coaches or weight loss doctors to discuss your goals. During this appointment, you'll also complete your personal weight loss and wellness profile at our weight loss clinic in Florida.
Step 3
You can start your program right away, and you'll get everything you need to begin your weight loss journey at our Nutrifit40 clinic, including the confidence and motivation you need to hit the road running.
In short, yes, they are. That's because programs like Nutrifit40 don't focus on overnight results or dangerous medicines. Instead, we focus on becoming your partner in the weight loss process. We take the time to sit down with you and explain that your weight isn't a punishment for being "lazy" or "unmotivated." Instead, we teach you about your body and what you should expect during the medical weight loss process. A trustworthy, legitimate weight loss location will also teach you about concepts like:
The goal of a weight loss clinic shouldn't be to chastise and embarrass you. It should support, educate, and encourage healthy changes in your life in a nurturing and positive atmosphere. It should also use science and medicine to design potent plans that actually help you lose weight and get healthy.
If you're looking for a medical weight loss clinic that has your best interests and health at heart, it's time to contact Nutrifit40. Some of the most common conditions that our doctors and coaches can help you with include:
Hypertension (or high blood pressure) and hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol) are two of the most prevalent and deadly chronic diseases in America. CDC statistics cite over 115 million Americans as having high blood pressure, while nearly 94 million young people under 20 suffer from high LDL cholesterol.
Both high blood pressure and cholesterol can wreak havoc on your body and increase your chances of strokes, heart attacks, and much more. Thankfully, lowering your blood pressure and cholesterol means lowering the odds of these deadly conditions, and one of the best ways to do that is through long-lasting weight loss.
According to WebMD, losing 20 pounds can drop your systolic blood pressure by 5-20mmHg. That's a big improvement, and a significant impact on your LDL cholesterol numbers. Nutrifit40, designed by Dr. Maria Shelton, was designed especially for situations like these, where patients need custom medical weight loss programs to get healthy.
Personalization is the key to the program's success; Dr. Shelton maps out a plan for you based on your specific health needs. Dr. Shelton will show you how to shed pounds while restoring your cardiovascular health through doable diet and lifestyle changes, innovative technology, and targeted physical activity.

Diabetes and diabetic neuropathy are concerning conditions that affect millions around the U.S. CDC statistics show that 34 million Americans have diabetes. Perhaps more frightening is that 88 million people are considered prediabetes. That means more than 37% of the U.S. population is already diagnosed or at risk of the disease.
Of those 34 million diabetes patients, almost half will suffer diabetic neuropathy. This condition causes nerves to be exposed to excessive blood glucose for long periods of time, causing extensive damage and symptoms like burning, numbness, tingling, and pain. Because the leading risk factor for Type 2 diabetes is obesity, it makes sense that losing weight may be able to help.
If you are overweight and dealing with diabetes or diabetic neuropathy, the Nutrifit40 program might be perfect for you. In 40 short days, you can shed up to 40 pounds.
Our medical weight loss team has helped thousands of good, hardworking people like you lose weight. With time, diet, exercise, and guidance from our weight loss experts, success is easier to achieve than you may believe. With ongoing adherence to a healthy life and exercise regimen, Type 2 diabetes patients can get their blood sugar levels in check.
Book AppointmentDid you know that over 45 million people in America try going on a diet every year? With as many obese people in the nation, that makes sense. Unfortunately, about half of those people fail to meet their weight loss goals. Often, it's because the diets they choose aren't focused on making them healthy - they're only about quick, unhealthy weight loss.
In reality, most diets don't work in the long run. The best way to lose weight and keep it off for good is with practical, healthy lifestyle changes. That's where physicians and other weight loss professionals can help. Unlike fly-by-night diets, medical weight loss has been proven to be effective.
But how do you know if you're a candidate? Let's take a look at five common signs you need medical weight loss treatment.
While it's true that about 42% of the U.S. population is considered overweight, not everyone needs a weight loss program to follow. However, if you're more than 100 pounds over the recommended weight for your height and age, medical weight loss might be the best option for weight loss.
Book AppointmentAre you at your wit's end because you've tried every diet under the sun, only to make minimal to no progress? Millions of other Americans are going through the same problems you're experiencing. At Nutrifi40, we work with many different patients, many of whom come to use exasperated because nothing they try works. You may be tempted to give up, but we encourage you to consider a medical weight loss clinic for help.
One of the most challenging aspects of being obese is that everyday life gets much more complicated. Yes, trying to fit into regular clothes is probably off the table, but so are ordinary things that require minimal effort. Simple tasks like carrying groceries from your car into your house are extremely difficult. Other activities, like walking upstairs in a friend's home, are out of the question.
Book AppointmentSomething has to change if you've been living with extra weight for a long time and you're sick and tired of living an unhealthy, unfulfilling life. Are you ready to heal your body and make fundamental changes? If you are, we've got great news - Nutrifit40 is prepared to be the partner you need to achieve your weight loss goals. The first step towards achieving a healthy weight and, by proxy, healthy life is to actually take that first step. If being fed up with how you look and feel is enough motivation to get started, pat yourself on the back. You're already making progress!
Medical weight loss is about much more than aesthetics or vanity. It's about preventing or reversing weight-related health issues that put your life at risk. Once you cross a certain threshold, it's hard to get off meds like cholesterol pills, but with medical weight loss, it's possible. If you have any of the following obesity-related health problems, you should consider Nutrifit40:

If you have been battling your weight for years only to find yourself in the same cyclical rut keeping you unhappy, unhealthy, and unfulfilled, it's time for a shift in your life. Why live with ill-fitting clothes, an inability to be active, and dangerous health conditions like high blood pressure? By joining the Nutrifit40 weight loss program, you're taking the first step to a new, healthier life.
Nutrifit40 is safe, effective, and available to patients with a variety of pre-existing conditions, including diabetes, high cholesterol, and even diabetic neuropathy. Contact our office today to schedule your first one-on-one weight loss consultation with our highly trained doctors. Before you know it, you'll be well on our way to restoring your health and confidence for good.

TAMPA, FLA., February 22, 2024 – The University of South Florida women's golf team tees off in the second tournament of the Spring schedule at the Westbrook Invitational in Peoria, Ariz. USF captured a victory, the second of the season, in the Spring opener at the FAU Paradise Invitational. The Bulls, who also recorded a win in the first Fall event, are led by head coach Erika Brennan in her sixth full season.
At the Westbrook Invitational, USF will compete in a 14-team field featuring Colorado State, Iowa, Kansas, Kansas State, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Florida, Oklahoma, Rutgers, Sam Houston, UNC-Wilmington and host Wisconsin.
The 54-hole event will consist of 36 holes on Sunday, February 25, beginning with a shotgun start at 10:30 a.m. (EST). The tournament will conclude with 18 holes on Monday, February 26, with a shotgun start at 10:30 a.m. (EST).
The Bulls will be led by returning senior Melanie Green, who captured her second individual win as a Bull in the FAU Paradise Invitational, earning AAC Women's Golfer of the Week honors. Green was named the AAC Women's Golfer of the Month for September and October.
At the FAU Paradise Invitational Green posted a score of 210 (-6) in the 54-hole event. Green was under par in all three rounds, opening with a 70 (-2) followed by a 69 (-3) in the second round and closing with a 71 (-1). She led the field in scoring on the par fives at -4 and in par three scoring at -2. Green has recorded top-four individual finishes in all five outings during the 2023-24 season to date.

The Bulls Head coach Erika Brennan has announced the following lineup for USF:
Quoting Head Coach Erika Brennan "Historically this is an event where it takes getting deep under par to win. We've been focused on wedges and short game for the past two weeks in preparation to unlock red numbers. They look really solid and continue to do the work mentally to get under par and stay under par. There is tremendous energy, and we're ready to get after it."
About USF Women's Golf The 2023-24 campaign will be the Bulls' sixth full season under head coach Erika Brennan. South Florida is among the fastest-rising programs in the country, as they climbed 75 spots in the national Golfstat rankings following Brennan's first season in 2018-19 and have captured four tournament titles under Brennan, while setting numerous program scoring records under her leadership.

Chanta Restaurant is a dreamy culinary gem in Tampa. The food here is exquisite, but the charming team behind Chanta put a lot of TLC into ensuring the experience and aesthetic inside match the power of its menu. Back in 2022, the website Cheapism listed Chanta in its story covering the coziest restaurants in every state. Another notch in Tampa’s foodie belt. While the site might not be the most esteemed, I’m all for highlighting under-the-radar gems in Tampa.
Make sure you’re following them on Facebook for the most up-to-date hours, and new menu specials.
“But when Chanta’s owners are in town they serve a mean goulash soup; Romanian stew with polenta, cheese, and fried egg; or wiener schnitzel, delivered to charming rough-hewn wooden tables surrounded by brick and leaning wagon wheels,” writes reviewer Alisha on Cheapism.
One of the most coveted seats in the city is the cozy chair in front of the fireplace. Do you need an even warmer invitation to visit Chanta? Just read this note from the owners:
“We would like to invite you to enjoy dinner in little Europe. Our restaurant is fully family-owned. You will meet the grandma who’s cooking every day at the restaurant, you will enjoy our freshly baked bread and delicious food!”
Celebrated appetizers include the grilled eggplant spread, deep-fried zucchini, and homemade bread with butter.
Something almost totally unique to Chanta is their Romanian stew with polenta. You won’t find this delicious specialty anywhere else in the city. The combination of the pork stew, the polenta (made out of corn), the fried egg, and the feta cheese on top is to die for.
I’m a dessert person, so I highly recommend you save room for a jam-stuffed crepe, or maybe a slice of apple cake. Visit their website to browse the entire menu.

A popular Asian restaurant is expanding its Tampa footprint this spring.
Yesterday, Zen Noodle Bar took to social media to announce the opening of its second Tampa location at 3019 W Waters Ave. out of the former Token Ramen Kung Fu Tea space.
A representative of the restaurant tells Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that its newest location is slated to open sometime this May or June, although the debut ultimately depends on how its build-out goes.
Patrons of Zen’s Temple Terrace restaurant can expect a similar menu from its upcoming Tampa location, which includes a variety of East and Southeast Asian fare like dumplings, bao buns, spring rolls, banh mi, stir fried noodles, pork adobo and bulgogi beef bowls.
Its soup selection is also quite extensive, serving everything from expected entrees like pork belly ramen and chicken pho to more specialty items like bo bun hue, a spicy Vietnamese soup served with beef shank, tendon and sliced ribeye.
“Inspired by our travels, we’re bringing you the bold flavors of Asia—Vietnam, Korea, Thailand, Japan, and the Philippines,” Zen Noodle Bar’s owners write on Instagram, and its well-rounded pan-Asian menu certainly reflects that sentiment.
A spread of beer, wine, sake, Vietnamese iced coffee and milk teas will join its extensive food menu.
Gainesville-based Zen Noodle Bar opened its first local restaurant in Temple Terrace in the fall of 2022. In addition to North Tampa’s upcoming location, Zen Noodle Bar is in the process of opening other restaurants in Jonesville, Jacksonville and downtown Gainesville, according to its website.
For the latest information on Zen Noodle Bar’s second Tampa location and its opening timeline, head to its Instagram at @zennoodlestampa. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters. Follow us: Google News | NewsBreak | Reddit | Instagram | Facebook | Twitter
