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