Medical Weight Loss

What is Medical Weight Loss?

As the name suggests, medical weight loss means losing weight with a fully trained medical staff in your corner. Not every weight loss strategy is right you, and a poor strategy can lead to failure affecting both your physical and emotional wellbeing. By incorporating a holistic approach to dropping those pounds safely and effectively, our medical weight loss service evaluates your health and needs to develop a plan which includes more than just calorie reduction.

What Diet Plans are Available?

Weight loss is essentially a math game which requires you burn more calories than you eat. For most people, it means counting calories and cutting back. SunCoast Premier Medical provides a number of options to help you reach your goal depending on your current health and weight loss needs. A reduced-calorie diet, for example, provides a balanced meal plan patterned around the number of calories you can eat and still meet your weight-loss goals. Full meal replacement, by contrast, provides a nutritionally balanced replacement product for mainstream meals like breakfast. This is usually given in the form of a protein shake which has enough fiber to be filling and healthy at the same time.

Is Medical Weight Loss Only About What You Eat?

Weight gain isn’t always about what you eat. For some, weight gain is connected to a poorly functioning thyroid, a hormone imbalance, emotional issues, or lack of exercise. Our weight loss program takes these factors into account plus your overall health to create a strategy based on realistic and actionable goals. Our medical weight loss includes the full package: lifestyle changes, fitness plans, medication, if needed, and nutrition.
