Weight Loss Q&A

What are the health risks of being overweight or obese?

Being overweight or obese can negatively impact virtually every organ and system within your body. Medical problems that are caused by being overweight or obese are:

  • Heart disease
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Hypertension
  • High cholesterol
  • Sleep apnea
  • Sexual dysfunction
  • Liver disease

Therefore, losing weight is important to prevent or control these medical problems.  

Why is it so hard to lose weight and keep it off?

This is a simple question with a complicated answer. Researchers know that weight struggles are about more than just willpower. Numerous factors make it difficult to lose weight and keep it off.

Our lifestyles play an important role in weight loss. Fast food is cheap and readily available. Grocery store aisles are filled with nutritionally void, and highly processed foods. More time spent in front of screens at home, at work, at school, and for recreation leaves little time for getting outside and staying active. High levels of stress and poor sleep quality add to the problem. Lastly, a fast-paced lifestyle makes it seem impossible to make healthy changes for many people.   

What weight loss services are available at K Primary Care & Medical Nutrition Center?
