With over 20,000 books written on this topic with so much misinformation, the internet is full of all kinds of confusing and misleading information.
Here is a quick summary of the science of losing weight from a practicing weight loss physician and founder of W8MD Medical Weight Loss Centers of America, Dr. Prab R. Tumpati, MD.
What is proven to help to lose weight?
Although there are many weight loss programs, there about 5 proven measures for weight loss that are proven to help lose weight.
Obesity is treated using one or more of these
strategies:
- A diet low in calories called Very Low Calorie Diet or Low Calorie Diet
- Increased physical activity only in combination with low calorie diet (note exercise alone is not enough as it makes one hungry and builds muscle which is heavier)
- Behavior therapy for weight loss provided by a trained weight loss medical professional
- Prescription weight loss medications such as the new Qsymia, Belviq or the traditional weight loss medications such as Phentermine, Phendimetrazine, Diethylpropion, Topiramate etc.
- Bariatric or weight-loss surgery
As one of the few weight loss programs to accept health insurance for weight loss, W8MD can help you lose weight under careful medical supervision in Philadelphia, King of Prussia, PA or New York City. We are adding more locations soon.
