In Place of Diets

With 97% of diets destined to fail, the path to weight loss is often paved with struggle. Approximately 50% of U.S. adults want to shed a few pounds with 42% of Americans putting on unwanted weight during the Coronavirus pandemic. The average amount of pandemic pounds acquired is 29 lbs. per person, with 10% obtaining over 50 pounds, and 60% of the nation agreeing that since stay-at-home orders, losing weight has become tremendously more difficult.

Not all doctors are equipped to address weight loss, with just 56% being qualified and 46% yielding success. The writing of weight loss prescriptions should be far more frequent than it is, with only 3% of eligible patients receiving them. Many correlations between obesity and mental illness have been unlocked, as 80% of people with mental health issues are overweight and individuals with, or histories of, depression, trauma, and addiction are more prone to obesity.

A whopping 60% of U.S. adults agree that “losing weight is as miserable as being overweight”, but new solutions, more holistic approaches, are here to ease the misery. Consulting with a personal medical practitioner, verified to manage obesity, can establish a better path forward through telehealth visits and prescription of weight loss medications. Fitness and nutrition coaches can nurture a patient’s process, as healthy habits produce a healthy figure. Therapy, and sessions with addiction counselors, can reset the mind and orient it towards your desired goal. Various forms of clinical psychology, like hypnotherapy, meditation, and guided imagery, among other forms,  can also work to reestablish motivation, helping you put your best foot, and best body, forward.
