Put Your Health First: 10 Wonderful Benefits of Medical Weight Loss Plans
Put Your Health First: 10 Wonderful Benefits of Medical Weight Loss Plans

Research shows that around half of Americans are actively trying to lose weight.

Do you fall into this category?

If so, it’s likely that you’ve tried every trick in the book. From meal replacement shakes and dieting fads to complicated workouts and high-priced supplements, there’s no shortage of options out there.

The only problem? Most of these methods aren’t approved by a clinician.

A medical weight loss plan, on the other hand, provides you with real tools to trim your waistline and improve your health, including access to round-the-clock support and guidance from a healthcare professional.

This way, you can be sure you’re on the best path for your health, flash-in-the-pan trends aside.

Today, we’re sharing 10 proven reasons why this plan is the best way to attack unwanted fat head-on. Ready to learn more? Let’s get started!

1. A Plan Tailored to Your Needs

Unsupervised diet plans fail to take into account the fact that every body is different.

If you’re buying the same pre-portioned milkshakes or following a group workout DVD, you’re going along with what the crowd deems effective. However, while this approach may work for a short while, it isn’t catered to your specific body type, physical requirements or weight-loss goals.

Thus, it comes as no surprise that while you begin a new trend with enthusiasm, you’re burnt out and bored by the second week.

Medical weight loss plans, on the other hand, are tailored to meet your exact needs.

How It Works?

Before mapping your custom journey, your clinician will perform a comprehensive physical exam. During this time, he or she will test all of your vitals and check your weight, height, blood pressure, BMI and more.

This exam will reveal the full picture of your health and allow your clinician to understand exactly where you’re starting from and where you should go. It will also provide insight into your lifestyle. Your clinician can use this knowledge to develop a plan you can ease into and adjust as necessary.

Stopping all of your habits and adopting a strict weight-loss routine immediately can discourage many dieters in the long run. Your clinician can apply insights gleaned during your exam to create a plan that prevents backsliding and encourages weight loss that sticks.

2. Workouts Made For You

Throughout the years, there have been myriad workouts that promise to get anyone in shape, regardless of their body type. As a result, millions of people have flocked to the store or hopped online to cash in on the latest craze, buying flashy equipment and over-priced athleisure.

The main issue with following along with these moves at home? Unless you’re properly trained on the technique and equipment, you could do more harm than good.

In fact, one study tracked injuries from 2007 through 2016 and made a major discovery. Researchers found that more than three million injuries during that timeframe were linked by one common thread: exercise equipment.

Before you pick up a kettlebell or perform a burpee, you need to know that the workout is going to help you meet your specific weight-loss goals. More importantly, is it safe for your physique?

The reality is that someone who is already used to going to the gym multiple times a week will have different physical abilities than someone who does not. A medical weight loss plan will take this into account, starting with exercises that are designed to meet you where you are, then gradually work up in exertion as you build your stamina.

3. Specific, Attainable Goals

How many people begin a traditional weight-loss journey by saying, “I want to lose “X” number of pounds”?

We’re hard-wired to think that weight-loss is defined by a number on the scale or a size on the tag. A medical professional, however, can help you set and meet goals that encompass a wider range of health-related issues.

For instance, in addition to losing weight, you can also strive to:

  • Lower your blood pressure
  • Lower your cholesterol levels
  • Improve your heart health
  • Reduce your risk of disease

Your healthcare professional will sit down with you to create a set of goals that take your total health into account. Knowing your physical condition, they’ll create goals that won’t over-exert you, scaling them to increase in demand as you grow stronger.

While you work to improve your stamina and longevity, the change on the scale will be the icing on the cake.

4. A Defined Plan

It’s one thing to say that you want to lose weight. You might even share the news with your family and friends and post it on social media. This is a great first step. Naming your goals and sharing them with those closest to you can help keep you accountable.

However, without a step-by-step plan to keep you on track, it doesn’t take long for that Day 1 excitement to wane. If you’re forced to wake up in the morning and create a different approach than the day before, the challenge can be overwhelming.

As soon as you begin a medical weight loss program, your clinician will provide you with a specific routine to follow. This means there’s no guesswork involved on your end, only legwork.

You don’t have to wonder if the food you’re eating will help or derail your efforts. Nor do you have to question the effectiveness of any workout or even come up with the workouts on your own.

Everything is planned out and ready to follow in simple verbiage. If you need to make any adjustments to the regimen, you can discuss those at your check-ins! Your needs will adjust as you progress in the program, and your clinician can make those necessary tweaks.

5. Habit Accountability

Trying to lose weight but unable to shake that smoking habit?

The harmful decisions we make can play a substantial role in how successful our health and wellness plans become. While it might be easy to hide your unhealthy tendencies from your friends and family members, it’s a little more difficult to do so with your clinician.

Not only will he or she have a complete history of all of your habits, but he or she will also be able to discern even the slightest hint of a relapse. Of course, this doesn’t only apply to cigarettes.

If you’re prone to indulge in too many sweets, consume too much alcohol, or skip sleep for too long, your body will display physical signs. If you’re honest about these conditions during your initial exam, your clinician will know to monitor them throughout your program.

Once you begin to see real results, you’ll be even more motivated to choose good habits and shake the old ones.

6. Access to Medical Knowledge

Studies show that 80% of internet users, or around 93 million Americans, have searched for medical advice on their smart device.

Rather than trusting Dr. Google or a complete stranger with your pressing medical questions, why not go straight to the source and speak to your clinician instead? This healthcare professional has years of experience in the field and can answer any inquiry with sound knowledge and advice.

Embarrassed to talk about your pain point? Our team is very professional and can help. Failing to speak up about a pressing need could delay treatment and exacerbate the concern.

In addition, your clinician is also well-versed on how diets, medications, and exercise work in tandem. You’ll learn which moves to avoid and which are ideal for your body type. You can also monitor your internal systems to track your progress!

Along the way, your program will include the following elements that only a medical professional is trained to oversee:

  • Body detoxification
  • Dietary supplementation
  • Vitamin supplementation
  • Hormone optimization

You don’t want just anyone in charge of these measures. You need a trained and experienced clinician to take the reigns.

7. Lose Weight With Real Food

Sure, it might be easier to lose weight by nibbling on a cookie that tastes like cardboard or swallowing a pill the size of your palm.

However, how long can you sustain programs like this, and how do you know if they’re even working? Any diet that deprives you of nutritious and delicious food options isn’t a sustainable one.

A medical weight loss plan won’t require any unnatural gimmicks or questionable meal plans. Rather, you’ll see pounds disappear as you eat real, whole foods that taste as good as they make you feel.

Your clinician will make sure you have everything you need to see results at home. This means a meal plan that’s built around your specific health needs, with detailed instructions that leave nothing out. You’ll learn how to shop at the supermarket, which foods to reach for, and how to prepare creative meals that your whole family will love.

8. Address Underlying Issues

Especially if you’ve tried for years to lose weight with no avail, it could be that your diet and exercise habits aren’t to blame.

There are several underlying health conditions that can contribute to weight gain and the inability to lose weight. These include:

  • Hypothyroidism
  • Depression
  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
  • Insomnia
  • Peptic Ulcer Disease
  • Cushing Syndrome
  • Hormone Imbalance

During your exam, your clinician can test for these conditions to see if they could be contributing to your weight gain. If so, you can enter into a treatment plan that tackles your journey from the inside out.

9. Community Support

Industry research reveals that group-based weight-loss tactics can be more effective than solitary efforts.

Anyone who’s ever taken a friend to the gym knows that it’s much more fun to get healthy if you have a trusted companion along for the ride. This is where the power of community comes in.

Throughout your partnership together, your clinician might host several events that allow you to meet your peers who are also traveling this road alongside you. In addition to accountability, this group can also serve as motivation!

It takes a team to make any major step, and this is a journey you aren’t meant to travel alone! By tapping into these group activities, you can learn firsthand from mentors who have walked the road you’re on, as well as those who are just starting at the beginning.

10. Prescription Weight-Loss Support

While every effort is made to curb weight gain with diet and exercise, medical weight loss plans also provide you access to prescription weight-loss aids.

These can deliver the powerful boost you need to jumpstart the journey to your goals. In addition, you’ll be taking them in a safe and controlled environment, and only in the amount and strength that your clinician recommends.

This is a much wiser approach than buying pills and potions off the internet, placing your trust in shady sellers who can’t verify what’s inside each bottle or how to take the substance.

With a medical expert at the helm of the prescription and administration, you can rest assured that no foul play occurs and you get the most out of every dose.
