What to Look for in Weight Loss Programs

Posted October 11, 2018

Our team of weight loss programs experts specializes in developing diet and fitness plans that are entirely personalized for our patients. We look at various data and information to develop a routine that helps you lose weight, but that’s not our only priority. Achieving results is crucial in successful weight loss programs but it isn’t the only priority when choosing a weight loss plan. There are a variety of other factors to consider as well. Here’s what you should look for in weight loss programs.

5 Things to Look For in Weight Loss Programs

Realism

Good weight loss programs won’t make false promises. A plan that promises that you’ll lose fifteen pounds in a few days may seem great on paper, but it’s probably not going to deliver in a healthy way. Safe weight loss is gradual. You’re not going to go home for the weekend and come back to work with shocking weight loss to show off. A program that promises too much probably won’t have much data backing it up, and there’s a good reason for that.

Safety

We mentioned that safe weight loss is often gradual. Safety is another big consideration when you’re looking for the right weight loss program. It’s advisable to talk to a health care provider or doctor before you embark on your weight loss journey. They can tell you what is safe for you, based on your unique medical history and specific goals. Taking a bit of extra time to prepare to lose weight safely can make a big difference.

Feedback and Support

Another hallmark of good weight loss programs is that you won’t be left on your own. Getting feedback from a professional can make a big difference. Whether you’re opting for our medical weight loss solutions or looking for a diet plan, we’re with you at every step of the way. If you’re being monitored by a professional, receiving support, and getting feedback, you’re not just more likely to reach your weight loss goals. You’re also more likely to reach your target while staying safe.

Regular Exercise

A weight loss program that leaves out exercise is unlikely to work as well as one that contains a comprehensive fitness plan. While diet is important, we also make sure to develop customized exercise plans that meet your level of fitness and weight loss needs. Exercise improves your mood, kick starts your metabolism, and can help you stay on track as you try to meet your goals. A weight loss plan without exercise simply isn’t complete.

Flexibility

A weight loss plan that leaves no room for error is hard to stick to. One that cuts out entire food groups can also ruin motivation. Instead, we create diet plans that are uniquely suited to each of our patients. You can eat foods that you actually enjoy. You don’t starve yourself. Plus, your diet fits your body type and particular restrictions.

A diet plan that isn’t flexible or one that cuts out too many types of food too rapidly can lead to cheating or a drop in motivation. It can also lead to so called “yo-yo dieting,” where patients loss weight and gain it right back. Our weight loss programs can help you avoid that, and we look forward to creating one just for you!
