Our weight has a significant effect on our health. As fat builds around our muscles, it also builds around our organs. This makes us susceptible to heart and liver disease, diabetes, sleep apnea and other breathing issues, as well as several other chronic illnesses. 

The additional weight also leads to extra wear and tear on joints such as the hips, knees, and ankles. 

 

Some people act as though everyone should be slim and toned with no problem. But sometimes our genetics work against us. Our medical histories can be riddled with maladies that impact the metabolism, making weight loss more difficult.

The most simplistic description of how weight works is that our weight is determined by calories consumed minus calories burned. If we consume more than we burn, our weight increases, and vice versa.

 

However, the form of those calories matters. Getting 2,000 calories from food with nutrients we can use such as fruits, vegetables, and lean meats is quite different than getting 2,000 low-value calories from cake, cookies, and pizza. 

You didn’t get out of shape overnight, so you’re not going to get into shape overnight. It can be difficult to know exactly where to start, where to go from there, and how to track progress.

 

These thoughts can overwhelm people into avoiding choosing health. However, professional guidance is available to help you determine an actionable path.

Dr. Anthony and his team can help you understand how weight works as well as what steps you can take to get weight off and keep it off.

​

Long-term weight loss happens when someone’s lifestyle changes as a whole - not just from a six-week diet. This creates a cycle of wanting to continue to eat better and be more active.

 

Our weight has a direct impact on our vulnerability to injury, overall wellness, and self-image. To find out how Dr. Anthony and his team can help you lose weight and keep it off, come in for a consultation today!
