Research has unveiled the indisputable health benefits of weight loss. Shedding just 5%-10% of your body weight, when carrying excess pounds, can significantly reduce your risks of issues such as heart attack, stroke, and Type 2 diabetes.
If you experience joint pain or chronic pain problems, losing weight can alleviate pressure on pain points, providing symptom relief. Additionally, weight loss can enhance your self-esteem, boost your confidence, and make it easier for you to stay active.
So, should you try the weight loss diets you come across in magazines, on social media, or hear about from friends? Not necessarily. Unhealthy weight loss based on fad diets can jeopardize your long-term health, and your results may not be sustainable without implementing the right healthy lifestyle changes.
At Living Water Community Health and Wellness Clinic in Porterville, Lindsay, Woodlake, and Visalia, California, our family medicine doctors provide expert medical weight loss support. Our team takes your health seriously and aims to guide you in making informed choices for safe, sustainable weight loss.
Here are five crucial reasons why medically managed weight loss is a better option than any fad diet.
Despite the benefits that come with weight loss, dropping pounds through overly rapid methods can deplete your body, lower your energy levels, and damage your hair, nails, and skin. Experiencing frequent fainting, constant fatigue, or hair loss may indicate an unhealthy approach to weight loss.
Your body relies on nutrients from your food to keep you healthy, strong, and active. Some fad diets suggest eliminating entire food groups. Without proper knowledge of tracking your dietary intake, you may suffer from a deficiency in essential vitamins, minerals, or nutrients.
When you seek medical weight loss support at Living Water Clinic, Dr. Angelina Neria and Dr. Jerry Neria works with you to develop a nutrition plan that helps you lose unwanted pounds safely while keeping your nutrient intake balanced.
Your metabolism plays a significant role in your body’s ability to lose or gain weight. If you’ve previously struggled with unsuccessful weight loss attempts, a sluggish metabolism may be the culprit. Sustained weight loss requires supporting your metabolism.
Fad diets can have adverse effects on your metabolism. The weight loss management program at Living Water Clinic aims to avoid slowing down your metabolism. Our primary care physicians work to support your metabolism and protect your overall health, including testing for thyroid issues that may affect your weight loss efforts. We can help you understand the best approach to ensure successful weight loss.
