Are You Frustrated and Discouraged About Your Weight?

Understanding Medical Weight Loss: A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction

At Real Healthcare Clinic we understand how upsetting it can be every time you fail to reach your weight loss goal or when you lose weight to just gain it right back. Many weight management programs reduce the complex issue of reaching and maintaining a healthy metabolic rate down to a matter of counting calories, which most often is ineffective in the long term. Other programs rely on pharmaceutical appetite suppressants that almost always lose efficacy as time goes on. And yet others are founded on meal substitutions shakes or protein bars often containing artificial sweeteners, genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and highly processed ingredients. Short-term weight reduction is not impressive if the process poses health hazards and the method cannot be transformed into a health-promoting lifestyle.

In fact dieting methods often solely focus on weight reduction, disregarding the underlying physiology that created the weight problem. Metabolism can become even more dysregulated from an unhealthy program leading to an actual increase in weight following the end of the diet. Lasting weight loss can occur as a result of several factors including changes in diet and physical activity. However for many people, the most commonly overlooked factor, and true key to success, lies in the identification and resolution of underlying metabolic health conditions. In this comprehensive guide we will delve into the intricacies of weight loss, exploring its causes and multiple treatment options. Permanent weight loss is attainable and certainly worth your effort. In addition to feeling fantastic and having more energy and mental clarity losing weight will lower your risk of diabetes cancer stroke and heart disease.

Causes of Weight Gain & Obesity

Obesity is caused by a combination of factors, which may include:

  • a sedentary lifestyle with little physical activity
  • excessive calorie intake
  • poor diet choices such as the high consumption of processed foods
  • certain medical conditions, such as hypothyroidism or polycystic ovary syndrome
  • certain medications, such as antidepressants or corticosteroids
  • psychological factors, such as stress or emotional eating
  • socioeconomic factors, such as limited access to healthy food options or lack of education on nutrition

The Secret to Lasting Weight Loss

Lasting weight loss starts in the brain and is influenced by a variety of factors, including but not limited to hormone balance, thyroid function, immune system response to foods, toxicity levels and the makeup of bacterial colonies in the gastrointestinal system.  There is no such thing as a “one kind fits all” when it comes to restoring your healthy weight.  For that reason we customize every program to offer patients the best chance for success.

Multiple Treatment Options

The most effective treatment options vary depending on individual needs and goals. Here are some commonly recommended strategies:

  1. Balanced Diet: Eating a balanced, nutritious-dense diet is crucial for sustainable weight loss. This includes consuming a variety of lean proteins, healthy fats, fruits, and vegetables, while limiting processed foods, sugary beverages and excessive calorie intake.  Avoiding artificial additives and genetically modified food products is very important.
  2. Regular Exercise: Incorporating regular physical activity into your routine burns excess fat stores while improving overall fitness to counteract the effects of aging. Strength training is very important, in addition to activities such as cardio exercises and flexibility exercises.
  3. Behavior Modification: Swapping unhealthy habits for those that promote a healthy lifestyle support the maintenance of your ideal weight. It has been said, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.”  The foundation of a successful weight loss journey starts with setting realistic goals, tracking progress, managing stress and seeking support from healthcare professionals or support groups.
  4. Medications and Medical Interventions: In some cases healthcare professionals may prescribe medications or recommend medical interventions for individuals with obesity or weight-related health conditions. These options should be discussed with a healthcare provider.
