How is medical weight loss different from dieting?

Medical weight loss takes the guesswork out of moving toward a healthier body composition. With guidance from a team of medical professionals, personalized recommendations, and unwavering support, you can avoid the pitfalls of yo-yo dieting or dangerous misinformation.

Instead of relying on cookie-cutter solutions and searching blindly for what your body needs to succeed, Lost Creek Medical can give you data and reliable metrics about your health. These include calculating your resting metabolic rate (RMR), sometimes called your resting energy expenditure (REE).

What does medical weight loss involve?

A weight loss consultation can help the team establish if you’re a good candidate for this service. After discussing your medical history, any health conditions, and goals, Dr. Bubis creates your personalized weight loss plan. Your plan may include:

RMR/REE

Your RMR/REE offers vital information about your body’s calorie usage while you’re otherwise inactive. Knowing this provides a foundation for other important facets of weight loss and ensures that everything you’re doing is sustainable and safe.

Physical activity

Dr. Bubis is qualified to offer sports medicine services and can help you improve your capabilities, no matter what your current fitness level. Finding activities you love and performing them safely ensures better health throughout your life.

Nutritional guidance

Lost Creek Medical gives individualized recommendations based on your RMR/REE, dietary restrictions or preferences, and nutritional needs. A healthy diet plan considers complex factors like your age, gender, and how active you are.

How can weight loss benefit my life?

Medical weight loss can improve your overall wellbeing and alleviate symptoms of weight-related medical conditions. When you lose weight, particularly in a medically-sound manner, you can decrease your risk of:

• Heart attack
• High cholesterol
• Depression
• Stroke
• High blood pressure
• Obstructive sleep apnea
• Insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes 
• Certain cancers
• Osteoarthritis and joint pain

Achieving a healthy body weight can also improve your mobility and give you an energy boost. If you struggle to get restful sleep, weight loss can make a remarkable difference.

Medical weight loss doesn’t just decrease your weight. Lost Creek Medical aims to support your long-term health and longevity with sustainable lifestyle and diet adaptations.
