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 />
