Year after year, losing weight ranks among the most popular New Year’s Resolutions. Unfortunately, many of the same people make this promise annually. That’s not surprising, though.

The Importance of Attaining and Maintaining a Healthy Weight

As you likely know, obesity has become a national epidemic. Over 66 percent of adults in our country are considered overweight or obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control. This issue is more than skin deep too. Health, not just one’s appearance, is the reason being overweight or obese is so concerning. Both increase your risk for a huge list of other potential problems, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, sleep apnea, arthritis, and infertility.

Losing weight, however, is only half the struggle. Maintaining weight loss is every bit challenging. In fact, a recently published study in the medical journal Obesity found that 13 or 14 contestants tracked from Season 8’s “The Biggest Loser” TV show on NBC regained weight six years later, and four contestants are heavier now than prior to appearing on the program.

Why our Supervised Weight-Loss Program Works

As weight-loss specialists, our experienced team is with you for the entire journey, even after you’ve reached your goal weight. The team at Lifestyle Physicians doesn’t merely restrict your caloric intake and ship you off to the gym. Each patient’s program is individualized and begins with a complete physical evaluation, which includes crucial lab work to evaluate hormone levels and other vital factors, as well as an EKG.

Every patient’s program is overseen by Dr. Sagar Verma, an internal medicine physician, and weight loss specialist, and naturopathic doctor Sheeba Asad, and will include weekly follow-up appointments and labs at no extra cost.

Among the tools we use are:

• Lifestyle coaching
