What To Know About Weight Loss And Health Maintenance
Maintaining a healthy weight is beneficial for overall health and wellness. Our physicians recommend combining a healthy diet and regular physical activity to achieve weight loss goals. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein sources can help to provide necessary nutrients while limiting excessive calorie intake. Physical activity (brisk walking, running, or weight training) can also help burn calories and improve overall fitness.
Always approach weight loss healthily and sustainably. Crash diets or extreme calorie restriction harm health and lead to nutrient deficiencies. Consistency and patience are ideal for achieving long-term weight loss and maintenance success. Maintaining a healthy weight also involves ongoing effort beyond the initial weight loss phase. This effort includes continued healthy eating habits and regular physical activity to prevent weight regain.
