Weight No More Orland Park offers<br />
new approach to weight loss<br />
January is traditionally the<br />
time for New Year’s resolutions,<br />
new beginnings, and fresh<br />
starts. And Weight No More Orland<br />
Park is a fresh approach to<br />
weight loss and maintenance of<br />
a healthy weight. Unlike other<br />
programs or diets patients may<br />
have tried, Weight No More is a<br />
medically supervised approach<br />
to help them get to their ideal<br />
weight and help them stay there.<br />
According to Dr. Susan Rife,<br />
owner of Weight No More Orland<br />
Park, “We work with our<br />
weight maintenance clients as<br />
we would with any of our family<br />
medicine patients, from a<br />
science-based medical perspective,<br />
not from the latest diet or<br />
exercise fads.”<br />
She added, “One of biggest<br />
advantages of seeing a medical<br />
professional for weight loss and<br />
maintenance is that we can help<br />
you cut through the clutter and<br />
confusion of fad diets that seem<br />
to pop up every day.”<br />
There are other distinct differences<br />
to a medical weight loss<br />
program, too. Only a medical<br />
professional can design a plan<br />
that includes medication and<br />
prepare and clear patients for<br />
weight loss surgery should they<br />
and their provider decide that<br />
surgery would be the best option.<br />
“There have been vast improvements<br />
in safety and efficacy<br />
in the past few years in both<br />
weight loss medications and surgical<br />
techniques,” Rife said.<br />
The process is very straightforward<br />
and kept simple to help<br />
patients stay on track. The initial<br />
visit is a dedicated 30 minutes<br />
appointment for patients and<br />
their medical provider to discuss<br />
their questions, concerns and<br />
goals and ultimately devise an<br />
individualized plan together that<br />
suits them best.<br />
New patients with Dr. Rife<br />
also get an initial physical as<br />
part of the first visit, to help their<br />
medical provider understand<br />
their specific needs.<br />
“Obesity is a major problem in<br />
our country, and many chronic<br />
medical conditions are a result of<br />
poor diet and low physical activity,”<br />
Rife said.<br />
The medically based Weight<br />
No More approach can include<br />
medications and includes advice<br />
and counseling on diet and exercise<br />
behaviors. In some cases,<br />
surgery might even become the<br />
best option. Interestingly enough,<br />
to improve a chronic condition,<br />
studies have shown that that a<br />
reduction of just 10 percent of a<br />
person’s weight can have a major<br />
impact on their health.<br />
