It is okay to admit to yourself that you are not 100% happy with the way your body looks. Many patients want to lose weight but have trouble doing so using traditional methods like diet and exercise. Once you make a decision that you want to improve your looks and health by losing weight, consider medical weight loss options with Dr. Adalbert Pilip and Dr. Kamal Nayyar at New York Comprehensive Medical Care in Smithtown & Bohemia, NY.

What Is Medical Weight Loss?

About 40 percent of Americans are considered obese and almost half of Americans have made attempts to lose weight during the year according to recent statistics reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Medical weight loss is the process of shedding unwanted pounds using the guidance, advice and medications prescribed by a doctor. You may have been inundated with advertisements and proposed solutions for losing weight over the years and decades that don’t provide lasting solutions. Seeing a doctor who specifically addresses and treats these cases is possibly the best way to get real results.

Modern Medical Weight Loss Options

The release of a new FDA-approved weight loss medication called Semaglutide (better known as Ozempic or Wegovy) is one of the most modern treatments for qualified patients who are trying to lose weight. It is an injection that must be administered weekly. Other medical weight loss options your Smithtown & Bohemia, NY, doctor can provide include dietary modifications and planning, as well as exercise programs.

Maintaining Your New Figure

Once you do lose weight with the help of a doctor, maintenance is important. You should adopt new habits and actions to ensure that you keep your new figure. Follow these tips:

• Commit to smaller portions when eating and add more fruits and vegetables to your routine when snacking.
• Meal plan and prep at the beginning of each week to help ensure that you’re keeping up with your new diet.
• Perform some type of physical activity each day for at least 20-30 minutes, whether it’s walking, yoga, pilates, or stretching.
• Do research about nutritional supplements (such as B12, magnesium, vitamin D, iron, and omega-3 fish oil) that can help give you energy and vitality as you work toward your weight loss goals.
