Diet Right!

Fed up with trying to lose weight through diet and exercise? You may be tempted to try something radical, alternative, or maybe even... unsafe. I'm not talking about gastric bypass surgery. There's a new kid on the block called "Medical Weight Loss".Medical weight loss programs often look safe and sound on the outside. They typically involve a doctor, nurse and other health care providers in a medical setting. You may have blood drawn and blood pressure checked like any normal office visit. But does your regular physician inject you with a non-FDA approved hormone or prescribe appetite suppressants from the 50's? In addition to these potentially harmful chemicals, you'll also be prescribed a hefty dose of supplements, including a laxative in disguise. Sadly, if you're desperate enough to lose weight, you might fall for this type of medical scam. Though you may lose weight, you will be expected to drop your calorie intake significantly. The program only works if you continue the expensive injections, supplements and very low calorie diet. Is your health worth that?Rather than falling for unproven therapies, do your health a favor. Meet with a registered dietitian to teach you how to naturally curb cravings and include whole food in your meal plan. Skip the fancy supplements and cardio-toxic appetite suppressants and learn how to manage your weight the healthy weigh.Interested in a group weight loss class?
