Am I a candidate for weight loss?

If you have a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or higher, you may be a candidate for weight loss. Other indicators include having excess abdominal fat, a sedentary lifestyle, or experiencing health issues such as hypertension, diabetes, or sleep apnea. 

When you schedule an appointment with your MD Aesthetics provider, they consult with you, assess your overall health, and determine the best approach for weight loss.

What are the dangers of being overweight?

Being overweight increases the risk of numerous health issues. Cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attacks and strokes, are more common in overweight individuals due to elevated cholesterol levels and high blood pressure.

Diabetes is another significant risk, as excess weight can lead to insulin resistance. Joint problems, particularly osteoarthritis, can result from the added stress on the joints. 

Being overweight can also lead to sleep apnea, certain cancers, and mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.

What can I expect with professional weight loss management?

At MD Aesthetics, professional weight loss management provides a structured and supportive approach to achieving your weight loss goals. Initially, you undergo a comprehensive evaluation, including a physical examination, medical history review, and possibly some lab tests. 

Based on your assessment, your provider develops a personalized weight loss plan, encompassing dietary changes, physical activity recommendations, and behavior modifications.

You may also receive counseling and support to address the emotional and psychological aspects of weight loss. In some cases, dietary supplements like B12, medications, or surgical options might be considered. 

In addition, regular follow-ups help monitor your progress, adjust your plan as needed, and ensure you’re on track to reach your goals safely.

How can I maintain my weight loss results?

Maintaining weight loss requires a long-term commitment to healthy lifestyle changes. Continue to follow a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains while limiting processed foods and sugary beverages. 

Strive for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise each week. Keep track of your weight and dietary habits to identify and address any slip-ups early. 

Seek support from friends, family, or a weight loss group to stay motivated. Managing stress and getting adequate sleep is also vital for maintaining weight loss.
