When it comes to your health, losing weight is beneficial. It has the potential to reduce blood pressure and cholesterol levels. In addition to preventing or reversing diabetes, losing weight may help with sleep issues and self-esteem. But what happens if diets fail?
According to Dr. Levinstein, director of Medical Weight Loss Philadelphia, "more than two-thirds of Americans are obese or overweight. The majority of us may benefit from losing weight."
"Long-term weight reduction is challenging, but there are choices."
Medical Weight Loss Philadelphia's Weight Management Program is one of these possibilities. Doctors, dietitians, and other professionals work together to assist patients achieve their weight-loss goals.
As Dr. Levinstein notes, "There are many patients who are not candidates for surgery or are simply not interested in surgery." "Others may have had bariatric surgery but regained their weight. We wish to assist all of our patients in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight loss and lifestyle."
Prior to beginning a medical weight reduction program, patients are examined by a physician and then scheduled for dietary counseling. Specific directions are provided to patients to follow for 4 weeks before they return to the clinic. Dr. Levinstein is particularly interested in the timing of your meals and how they affect your mood. "In order to lose weight and keep it off, behavior adjustment is critical."
They then work together to create a personalized wellness plan. In order to achieve their weight reduction objectives, individuals are provided with diet, exercise, and behavior management advice. Dr. Levinstein explains, "We like keeping things simple to achieve the best results possible."
