You may be struggling to lose weight and keep it off for many reasons. It may be because your weight loss diet is too difficult to stick to long-term, or you don’t have the energy to exercise. Health issues can also hinder your weight loss efforts, including chronic stress, hormonal changes, and mental health challenges.
After an evaluation at Moore Healthcare Group, Dr. Moore develops a personalized weight management plan for you. He reviews your medical history, lifestyle habits, medication regimen, and other health problems that might make weight management difficult.
Your weight management plan may include:
Eating a balanced diet that is high in fiber and low in saturated fat can give your body the nutrients it needs to perform and thrive.
Exercise is an essential part of any weight loss plan. If you don’t know where to begin, Dr. Moore can help you develop the habit of regularly exercising with guidance and advice. You don’t have to participate in intense workouts, and may benefit from walking, swimming, or other activities that increase your physical activity.
Dr. Moore can recommend exercises that suit your level of fitness and preferences.
Appetite suppressants are prescribed medications that reprogram your body into thinking it’s satiated or full. If medications are necessary for your weight management plan, Dr. Moore can send prescriptions to your pharmacy of choice.
