Health issues are actually tied to the body’s fat build-up. Bear in mind that muscle is quite heavy--heavier than fat. Body mass index (BMI) and weight measurements determine your weight risks: BMI determines your weight-to-height ratio; waist measurements provide information on how fat is distributed in your body.

Have you ever tried a diet fad and felt cheated when you didn’t lose weight at the end? We’ve all been there to some degree. Instead of chasing the fads, let’s look for a medical solution that can help you lose the weight you need to lose.

A weight loss program can benefit both adults and children.

We recognize how tempting it can be to follow the latest weight loss fad when it promises rapid weight loss. Unfortunately, the weight you lose on these types of programs is typically water weight and some muscle mass.
