Weight Loss near Brooklyn

I’m A Few Pounds Overweight, Is That Really Such A Big Deal?

All of us have different body types and ideal weights that go along with them. Being overweight can pave the way for various diseases. Even slight obesity, just a few extra pounds, is linked to numerous health issues. These include:


  • Sexual dysfunction
  • Heart disease
  • Type II diabetes
  • Some cancers
  • Arthritis and systemic inflammation
  • High cholesterol
  • High blood pressure
  • Gallbladder disease

Carrying extra weight also puts strain on the organs and joints, increasing the risk of joint wear and chronic pain. Our team works out of our New York City, NY office and can be easily contacted if you are interested in starting our weight loss program near Brooklyn!

What Sets The Weight Loss Program At East Side Endocrinology Apart?

The weight loss program at East Side Endocrinology is different from what you usually see advertised. Our medical weight loss includes comprehensive testing to create a personalized meal plan. Instead of just prescribing appetite suppressants to lower calorie intake, our endocrinologists strive to understand the specific mechanisms of obesity in each patient. This involves:


Body Composition:

which measures the percentages of fat, protein, minerals, and body water in the patient’s body.

Biophotonic Reading:

which provides an SCS (Skin Carotenoid Score). Research suggests that this score correlates with factors that are related to a healthy lifestyle.

Lab Testing:

that measures hormone levels, vitamin levels, and other important data.

Resting Metabolic Rate:

a measurement that identifies how many calories the body burns at rest.

Can’t I Seek Out Plastic Surgery Instead?

Plastic surgery options like liposuction and abdominoplasty or other body lift techniques can reshape the body after significant weight loss. However, no plastic surgery procedures are designed to correct obesity.

The procedure used to sculpt the body by removing fat cells, liposuction, has limitations in the amount of fat that can be removed. These limits mean the procedure doesn't result in significant weight loss.

Additionally, individuals with a higher BMI, body mass index, face a much greater risk for complications during and after surgery and are often not ideal candidates for cosmetic procedures.

Weight loss near Brooklyn isn't just about looks. It’s about learning a new way of engaging with food so health and wellness can be maintained for a lifetime.

 

My Genetics Are The Main Cause For My Weight. Can I Do Anything About It?

Recent studies have shown that genetics do affect a person’s likelihood of becoming obese. This influence can range from 40 to 70%. Knowing your family history can help understand your risks for obesity and related health issues.

However, research also indicates that genetic testing in adults isn't necessary. The treatment approach doesn't differ between someone who is genetically predisposed to obesity and someone who isn't.

Obesity might be “in your genes,” but it doesn’t have to be your fate. While genetics may determine metabolism, appetite, and other factors, it's proven that weight can be effectively managed with consistent treatment. When diet and exercise alone aren't enough, patients benefit from a medical weight management program that includes behavioral, physical, and nutritional strategies.

 

I’m Not Seeing Results As Quickly As I Wanted. Is The Program Working?

When we start a weight loss journey, we often expect dramatic results right away. The diet fads we’ve seen over the years amplify our desire for rapid weight loss. Medical weight loss near Brooklyn is designed for long-term success. Patients might lose an average of 1 to 2 pounds per week, sometimes more, sometimes less. This doesn't mean the program isn't working. It means your body is naturally adjusting to its new state.

Understanding the challenges patients face, we have incorporated motivation as a key part of our weight management program.
