The best way to lose weight is the safest plan you can maintain. For Brooklyn patients, that often means combining medical evaluation, a practical eating structure, activity, sleep care and medication only when its expected benefits justify its risks.
Begin with the causes of weight gain
A good assessment looks at the timeline of weight change, hunger and cravings, previous attempts, medications, pregnancy history, menopause, mood, sleep, work schedule and conditions such as diabetes or sleep apnea.
- Set a health-centered goal
- Choose two or three repeatable nutrition habits
- Increase activity progressively
- Treat sleep problems
- Plan for plateaus and maintenance
When prescriptions may help
Anti-obesity medication may be considered for eligible patients as an adjunct to nutrition and physical activity. It should not be purchased from an unclear source or used without appropriate screening and follow-up.
