MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS
In the US, 1 in 3 adults is overweight and 2 in 5 adults are affected by obesity. This is 30.7% and 42.4% of adults in the population respectively. Obesity and overweight are linked to increased risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, fatty liver disease, kidney disease, and other health issues. People with BMI of 30 or more, who have tried other weight loss strategies, or who are t risk for chronic diseases (hypertension, diabetes, metabolic disorders, joint/back pain, or depression), qualify for medical weight loss.
Everyone has specific needs when it comes to losing weight. Our team will work closely with you to help identify and overcome your challenges.
Maintaining a healthy diet and exercise should be included in a successful weight loss plan. Some effective tips for weight loss include:
Incorporate low fat, low carbohydrate and high protein foods in your diet.
Also eat food groups like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
Control the amount of food eaten.
Drink water to fill stomach before you eat to improve portion control.
Avoid processed foods given the high salt or sugar content.
Reduce and stop sugary drinks like soda.
Exercise for 30 minutes at least 3 days a week.
But sometimes these traditional strategies alone are not enough. Medication can help to lose the stubborn weight and keep it off.
