With dozens of dieting plans to choose from, you’d think at least one of them would provide consistent, long-lasting results. Unfortunately, plenty of these diet plans fail to achieve any results, let alone results that last.

If you’ve had problems losing weight in the past, you’re probably wondering what you can do to shed those excess pounds — and keep them off. Medical weight loss at Primary Care Associates could be the answer you’re looking for.
Medical weight loss is more than a physician-supervised eating plan. It’s a carefully mapped-out program that combines healthy eating and physical activity based on your health profile, lifestyle, and other factors.
It’s that “customization factor” that sets medical weight loss apart — far apart — from DIY and commercial diet plans. Those plans are based on general principles of weight loss which may or may not work for you.
On top of that, many plans require restrictive eating habits that aren’t sustainable for the long term, which means when you return to “normal” foods, your weight can return, too. With a medical weight loss plan, every aspect of your program is tailored to your needs, your habits, and your lifestyle, so you can lose weight and keep it off.
Every medical weight loss program starts with a medical exam and a review of your health history, and usually, some lab work or other tests to look for nutritional deficiencies or problems that could interfere with your weight loss efforts. We’ll use all that information to design a program that suits your needs and weight loss goals.
