Weight loss can be difficult to achieve and even harder to sustain, but the use of a medical weight loss program that you develop with your doctor makes the chances of success much higher. Your doctor will work with you to figure out a regiment and plan that works for your lifestyle and goals. This is one of the healthiest ways to approach weight loss, avoiding fad diets and short-term solutions that often end up being more harmful than good. 

How does medical weight loss work?


Medical weight loss programs may differ depending on what the doctor recommends for the patient’s circumstances and lifestyle, but they focus primarily on a regimented routine to monitor exercise and diet. The regimen will take into account the physical capabilities of the patient and will help them to be accountable for a routine as well as keep track of calories that the patient is consuming. 

The point of having this weight loss program be through your medical care is to have support provided to help the patient get to a healthy and sustainable weight while ensuring it is done safely. The physician can help create a comprehensive nutritional plan combined with a fitness plan and include any other healthy habits that would be beneficial to the patient. Also, a medical weight loss program is carefully monitored by your healthcare professional and often includes metabolic testing and the monitoring of physiological shifts throughout the program to ensure that the patient is on the right track and that the plan is adjusted as needed to attain optimal results.

How fast do you lose weight with medical weight loss?


As with all weight loss programs, results will depend entirely on the patient and the program. Many people will notice results within a week or two of a loss of 5 or so pounds, but as time passes, the weight often becomes a bit harder to lose so the patient must continue with the program as directed by their doctor to ensure that the results are achieved and sustained. Everybody will react differently to being on a program and it can be very difficult to be disciplined enough at the beginning to keep up with a strict diet and exercise schedule, but once the new lifestyle becomes more of a habit and results become more noticeable, it will likely get easier to continue and to learn what your body is needing from you.

What can I expect from medically supervised weight loss?


Many people turn to medically supervised weight loss as it is working with a medical professional with whom they have already established a relationship and who they know has their health as the primary driving factor. Every experience will be different, but you can expect regular visits and weigh-ins with your doctor, and you will likely have to pay much closer attention to your caloric intake and metabolism to keep the program very structured. Noticeable results can start to happen pretty soon, but it is important to continue being disciplined and checking in regularly with your doctor.

Medical weight loss will be much more focused on the maintenance of your health rather than how you would like to look, so you can trust that your doctor will have your best intentions in mind and won’t push you to do anything that could put you at risk. It will likely have to be a significant lifestyle change. It needs to be a routine that you are capable of maintaining and is realistic for your lifestyle, so your doctor will work with you to create an individualized plan that is sustainable and is less likely to cause you to have setbacks because it is something that you are capable of maintaining. Many people will not have the desired results or are not successful with their medical weight loss program because it is too restrictive of a diet or too intense for exercise that isn’t reasonable for them to just suddenly start doing.

What is the best medical weight loss program?


The best medical weight loss program is the one that is specifically curated for you by you and your doctor. The most sustainable and effective weight loss plans take the individual’s preferences and capabilities into account and make sure that the caloric intake and restrictive diet, as well as the exercise schedule and type, is something that you can do and stay motivated to do. At Three Points Healing Wellness Clinic, we offer medical weight loss programs including these:

Semaglutide: Semaglutide is a medication primarily used for weight management and type 2 diabetes control, enhancing the body’s natural ability to regulate blood sugar and appetite.

Tirzepatide:
Tirzepatide is a dual-action drug that targets both glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptors, successfully managing blood sugar levels and promoting weight loss.

Glucose Dependant Insulinotropic Polypeptide:
It is a third-generation peptide combining the actions of three gut hormones to potentially treat diabetes and obesity by improving metabolic control and reducing appetite.

Phentermine: As part of a short-term regimen that includes exercise and a low-calorie diet, overweight people can benefit from the prescription medicine phentermine, which suppresses hunger and increases energy.

There is no one magical medical weight loss program that works perfectly for everyone, your results and outcomes are entirely dependent on how consistent you can stay on this plan and if it sets realistic expectations and goals for what you are willing to change about your lifestyle.
