Why is weight loss hard?

Weight loss is hard because no single method works for all. The general premise behind any weight loss program is to eat less, move more, or both. These methods create a calorie deficit, so your body uses more energy than it needs, burning extra fat for energy so you lose weight.

However, calories aren’t the only factor you need to take into consideration when it comes to weight loss. Genetics, medical history, and the types of medications you take also influence your weight and ability to lose weight.

Weight loss is hard because most weight management programs only focus on calories. At Urgent Care Walk-In Clinic ER Care, the team takes a more whole-person approach to weight loss, assessing and addressing all the factors that affect your weight. 

With this approach, the team can help you lose weight safely and keep it off long-term.

What happens during my initial weight loss consultation?

Your initial weight-loss consultation at Urgent Care Walk-In Clinic ER Care is a comprehensive evaluation. Your provider asks detailed questions about your weight concerns and goals, the types of diets you’ve tried in the past, and your usual eating and exercise habits.

They also review your medical history, family history, and the types of medications and supplements you take. Then, your provider performs a physical exam and does an extensive diagnostic workup to get a better picture of your overall health. Testing may include:

• Lipid panel
• Thyroid stimulating hormone (thyroid levels influence calorie burning)
• Hemoglobin A1C (assess blood sugar numbers)
• Electrocardiogram (assess heart health)

The team at Urgent Care Walk-In Clinic ER Care uses the information gathered during your initial consultation to create your custom 12-month weight loss plan. 

What tools can help with weight loss?

Urgent Care Walk-In Clinic ER Care provides all the weight loss tools you need to successfully reach your weight goals. In addition to guidance on eating and exercising, the team helps you create habits that lead to long-term weight loss and better health.

The focus of weight loss isn’t just on helping you get to your goal weight, but also helping you live a healthier life and preventing weight-related health problems like high blood pressure and heart disease (or improving them).
