What are the options to help me lose weight?
The three major options for weight loss are diet & exercise, medications, and surgery (like bariatric surgery to keep weight off and liposuction to remove weight) . Weight loss and a balanced low calorie diet should be the cornerstone of any weight loss plan. Exercising at least 30 minutes a day three times a week has been proven to help people lose weight and cut down the risk of heart disease. There are various diets and weight loss centers out there to help you lose weight. Although the Atkin’s Diet, the South Beach Diet, and other low carb diets are currently fashionable diets, a balanced diet that is lower in calories (for example a 2000 calories for a 180lb woman) and low in saturated fats will likely help you lose weight at a healthy pace. It is key to set a reasonable goal and be consistent. Because this usually entails a big lifestyle change many people find it helpful to join a weight loss center, a weight loss support group or buddy, have guidance from their physician or a dietician, or even see a psychologist for behavioral therapy.
