Why is weight loss difficult?
Losing weight isn’t always hard. You can follow any trendy diet or commercial weight-loss program and possibly lose unwanted pounds quickly. Though these programs may help you lose weight fast, you may find these diets difficult to follow long-term and struggle to keep the weight off.
Long-term weight loss is more challenging because it requires a lifestyle change. Most weight-loss programs focus only on what you eat. Though diet is an integral part of any weight-loss program, it’s not the only factor that influences your weight.
Genetics, hormones, medications, diseases, and behaviors all affect your weight and the long-term success of your weight-loss efforts.
Nightwater Medical Center is a primary care practice that takes a preventive approach to health and wellness. They understand the many factors that influence your weight and create personalized weight-loss plans designed to help you succeed.
What can I expect during a weight-loss consultation?
You can expect a comprehensive and compassionate evaluation during your weight-loss consultation at Nightwater Medical Center. During your appointment, your physician asks detailed questions about your weight history and weight-loss struggles, as well as your usual diet, exercise routine, occupation, and daily stresses.
Your provider also reviews your medical and family history, conducts a physical exam, and orders various labs to confirm or rule out a medical issue that may affect your weight. Nightwater Medical Center also orders heart disease and cardiovascular disease screenings to evaluate health risks to assist in the development of your weight-loss program.
