Medical Weight Loss Doctor Questions and Answer

Although there is no magic weight-loss treatment and no way other than surgery to lose weight right away, there is a fast, effective, and safe method for losing weight including weight from tummy fat. This method is physician-assisted weight loss, and it’s proven to be more effective than solo, unassisted methods. It takes into account all of the many factors involved in weight gain and losing weight, like lifestyle, diet, stress, exercise, sleep, and even fasting. Also, physician-assisted weight loss can factor in chronic conditions like diabetes. The method is very safe too, as it’s monitored by a medical professional.

Behavior modification and certain habits can help you lose belly fat, but they work best when they’re factored into a physician-assisted weight loss plan. Habits for weight loss can include:

• Eating lots of soluble fiber, probiotic foods, and protein-rich foods
• Avoiding trans fats, alcohol, sugar, juices, refined carbs, and too many carbs
• Reducing stress
• Exercising (both cardio and resistance training)
• Getting plenty of good sleep
• Tracking your food intake and other habits
• Fasting intermittently (this requires professional supervision)

Some of the best foods and beverages for burning fat include fatty fish, eggs, green tea, coffee, whey protein, apple cider vinegar, chili peppers, probiotic yogurt, and olive oil. Each of these foods has its own benefits, like how olive oil lowers triglycerides and increases healthy cholesterol levels. Also, some studies have shown that olive oil may boost metabolic rate to promote fat loss! There are many other benefits to these foods, and they all play roles in burning fat, so as many of them as possible should be introduced into your diet in a physician-assisted weight loss plan. Other foods may benefit you too.

A prescription may not be necessary for weight loss, but it can help. Often, an appetite-suppressing medication can help a great deal. It can help with cravings and with eating less. Eating less and thus ingesting fewer calories will help with weight loss. We can provide this type of medication here at Suburban Healthcare Associates.

Additionally, medications that block your body from absorbing fats, or other medications, may help you achieve your weight loss goal quicker. It’s important to do this safely, which physician-assisted weight loss at our clinic can accomplish!
