Is a medical weight loss program right for me?
To determine if you would benefit from medically supervised weight loss, a LocalMD provider discusses your medical history, weighs you, and determines your body mass index (BMI). They check your blood pressure, pulse, and other vital signs; review your medical history; discuss your typical diet and exercise habits; inquire about your goal weight; and complete a physical exam, if needed. Before tailoring your personalized weight loss program, your weight loss specialist may suggest blood tests or diagnostic tests that screen for high cholesterol, hormone imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, or other potential problems.
What does a weight loss plan consist of?
A weight loss plan may include one or more of the following:
- Custom diet plans
- Dietary supplements
- Food and exercise diaries
- Exercise recommendations
- Stress-reduction techniques
- Chronic care management
- Weight-loss medications
- Hormone replacement therapy
- Behavioral-change counseling
- Routine follow-up visits
When followed appropriately, LocalMD plans simplify weight loss and make achieving your target body weight easier. Taking weight loss medicines can speed up fat-burning and reduce your appetite. Hormone therapy also increases your body’s metabolic rate. A specialist follows up with you whenever needed to help you manage a chronic disease or optimize continued weight loss success.
