Your Fall Guide to Healthy Living in St. Louis
Fall in St. Louis is a great time to get outside, enjoy seasonal foods, spend time with family and friends, and refocus on your health and wellness goals.
At St. Louis Bariatrics, we know that healthy living isn’t about missing out on the things you enjoy. It’s about finding realistic ways to make healthier choices while still enjoying life.
That’s why we created our FREE Fall Guide to Healthy Living in St. Louis.
This downloadable ebook combines healthy fall eating tips, recipes, outdoor activities, hiking ideas, exercise tips, and information about weight-loss options all in one convenient guide.
What’s Inside the Free Fall Guide?
Whether you’re considering weight loss surgery, already on a weight-loss journey, or simply looking for healthier ways to enjoy fall, this guide gives you practical ideas to help you stay focused.
Healthy Fall Eating Tips
Fall brings plenty of delicious seasonal foods, but holiday gatherings, festivals, comfort foods, and sugary drinks can also make it challenging to stay on track.
The guide offers simple strategies for making healthier choices, including focusing on protein, choosing nutrient-dense seasonal vegetables, watching portion sizes, staying hydrated, and planning ahead for fall events.
You’ll also find ideas for enjoying seasonal foods such as apples, pears, squash, sweet potatoes, and Brussels sprouts in healthier ways.
Healthy Pumpkin Recipes
Pumpkin is one of the stars of the fall season—and it doesn’t have to mean pumpkin pie!
The ebook includes several pumpkin-inspired recipes, including:
- Pumpkin Protein Smoothie
- Roasted Pumpkin Soup
- Pumpkin Spice Protein Muffins
- Pumpkin Overnight Oats
These recipes provide ideas for incorporating pumpkin into meals and snacks while keeping your nutrition goals in mind.
Healthy Campfire Recipes
Fall is also a great time for bonfires, camping, and spending evenings outdoors.
The guide includes healthier campfire meal and snack ideas such as Foil Packet Chicken & Veggies, Campfire Turkey Lettuce Wraps, Grilled Cinnamon Apples, and Protein Hot Chocolate.
These recipes can help you enjoy fall traditions without feeling like you have to completely abandon your healthy eating goals.
Get Moving This Fall in St. Louis
You don’t need a gym membership to become more active.
The Fall Guide highlights local opportunities to walk, hike, and enjoy the outdoors, including Forest Park, Creve Coeur Lake, Castlewood State Park, Lone Elk Park, Cliff Cave Park, Queeny Park, and Pere Marquette State Park.
The guide also includes ideas for fall 5Ks, pumpkin patches, interval walking, outdoor workouts, and other ways to make movement part of your routine.
One of the biggest reminders in the guide is simple: consistency matters more than intensity. Starting with a 10-15 minute walk and gradually increasing your activity can be a realistic way to build a healthier routine.
Explore St. Louis Hiking Trails
If you’ve been looking for a reason to get outside this fall, St. Louis has plenty of options.
The ebook highlights several local hiking destinations and gives you ideas for finding a trail that matches your current fitness level.
From easier trails at Lone Elk Park and Cliff Cave Park to more challenging options at Castlewood State Park and Queeny Park, there are ways to enjoy the fall scenery while working toward your activity goals.
Fall Exercise Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated
Cooler temperatures can make fall an especially enjoyable season for outdoor activity.
The guide includes simple ideas such as park bench workouts, outdoor yoga and stretching, cycling, and interval walking. It also reminds readers to get physician clearance before starting a new exercise program and to start slowly and listen to their bodies.
The goal isn’t perfection. It’s finding activities you enjoy enough to keep doing.
