When is weight loss recommended?

Your medical professional may advise you to lose weight if you carry excess weight that’s affecting your health or increasing your risk for chronic conditions. If your body mass index (BMI) falls in the overweight or obese range, or if you experience certain health concerns, weight loss might be part of your care plan. Even losing 5–10% of your body weight can make a meaningful difference in your overall health.

Common reasons your Rockland Family Medical Care provider may recommend weight loss include:

• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance
• Sleep apnea
• Joint pain or mobility issues
• Fatty liver disease

If any of these apply, your practitioner can offer a guided weight loss plan to help improve your health and lower your risk for more serious complications in the future.

What is the best approach to weight loss?

The best weight loss plan is one that fits your life and supports long-term success. Lasting results come from a steady, personalized approach that includes:

• Eating balanced, nutrient-rich meals
• Getting regular physical activity
• Making small, consistent behavior changes
• Having support and accountability along the way

Weight loss isn’t just about the number on the scale — it’s about helping you feel better, move easier, and improve your health overall.

How is weight loss achieved with medical supervision?

• Medically supervised weight loss involves working with your Rockland Family Medical Care provider to create a plan based on your unique health needs, medical history, and lifestyle. They monitor your progress regularly, recommend lab testing as needed, adjust your plan as needed, and provide accountability and guidance.
• In some cases, your plan may include prescription medications, meal replacements, or other supportive therapies to enhance results safely.
• At Rockland Family Medical Care, the team offers Metagenics® — a trusted line of high-potency vitamins and supplements that support metabolism, digestion, and overall wellness during your weight loss journey.

How are weight loss results maintained?

• After reaching your goal, your provider helps you shift into maintenance mode. This includes healthy routines for eating, staying active, and managing stress. You may also continue using Metagenics® supplements to support energy and wellness.
• You can rely on the Rockland Family Medical Care team to help you maintain your progress and feel confident in your ability to stay healthy long after the weight comes off.
