Experts insist on the importance of consulting a health professional before committing to a weight loss program. Most people, however, choose to follow poorly conceived personal regimens that may not always work, or even impact their health negatively.
While at-home programs sometimes work perfectly, consulting a healthcare professional may help make your regimen more efficient and ensure you’re doing it in a healthy way. Here are four reasons why you should have your weight loss managed by a health professional.
-
You’re not making headway
If you have been following a legitimate weight loss program but haven’t been making significant progress, a medical condition could be nullifying your effort.
Notorious culprits behind such circumstances include depression, thyroid conditions, and hormonal imbalances. These can only be unearthed by a qualified health professional.
-
You want to lose weight by medication or surgery
For people who may find it difficult to adhere to heavy workout programs and voluntary dietary changes, medication and surgical removal of fats provide a shorter and surer way of achieving your desired body weight.
-
You’re under medication
Paxil and prednisone are among a long list of medications that have been associated with weight gain. Your doctor will help tailor a program that harmonizes with your medication or prescribe an alternative medication.
-
You have a separate medical condition
New meal plans and workout routines may affect some conditions negatively causing them to develop complications.
If you are diagnosed with any of such conditions, your doctor will help come up with a weight loss regimen that doesn’t impact on other aspects of your health.
