The benefits of going to a medical weight loss center to jump start your diet are numerous.
There are serious consequences to being overweight. For instance, Heart disease, Sleep Apnea, Diabetes, Back and Knee Pain, Hypertension (high blood pressure), Stroke, Gallstones and Gall bladder problems, and even Depression can be caused or worsened by obesity or being overweight.
Most people who start on a diet will not see the long term results they desire. That is why working with a physician and his or her staff at a medical weight loss center can be so helpful if you are seriously committed to losing weight.
When you call a medical weight loss center like Healthy Solutions MD. you will schedule a consultation the staff. The staff will talk to you about your current activies, weight loss goals and why this is important to you. We will then take a few tests including a comprehensive blood panel, blood pressure reading, EKG, weight and body fat index, and talk to you about your weight loss options.
You will choose a plan that is right for you from among the medical options. These can include a low calorie program, injections or prescription medications, a low calorie program with injections or prescription medications, or one of our natural programs without prescriptions medications..
You will get individual attention from health professionals right from the start when you go to a medical weight loss center. Many of the other types of diet programs have non professional staff whose counseling duties are secondary to their sales responsibilities.
Your doctor will also be able to monitor your progress to make sure you have safe and effective weight loss. They will be able to tell you how much of the weight loss is due to water loss, fat loss, and muscle loss and make adjustments accordingly.
