Frequently Asked Questions
Is obesity a
chronic disease?
Obesity is recognized as a chronic disease by leading medical organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Medical Association (AMA). It is characterized by excess body fat accumulation, which can lead to a range of serious health complications such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and certain types of cancer. Like other chronic diseases, such as diabetes or hypertension, obesity requires long-term management and may involve a combination of lifestyle changes, medical interventions, and ongoing support to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. At Pura Vitality Wellness Center, we provide comprehensive support and resources to help individuals manage obesity and improve their overall health and well-being."
Will I have to follow a strict diet?
Our weight loss program emphasizes balanced nutrition and healthy eating habits rather than strict dieting. While we provide guidelines and meal plans to support your journey, we believe in flexibility and tailoring the program to fit your lifestyle. Our goal is to empower you to make sustainable changes that you can maintain long-term. You'll have access to a variety of delicious and nutritious recipes, as well as support from our team to help you find what works best for you
What can I expect in your weight loss program?
In our weight loss program, expect personalized assessment to tailor a plan specific to your needs and goals. This includes customized meal and exercise plans, behavior modification strategies, and ongoing support from our team of experts. We provide education, resources, and monitoring to ensure progress and adjustment as needed. Our aim is to empower you with lasting changes for a healthier, happier life.
What are weight loss medications?
Weight loss medications, also known as anti-obesity medications, are drugs that can aid in weight loss when used in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise program. These medications work in different ways, such as reducing appetite, increasing feelings of fullness, or interfering with the absorption of fat in the digestive system. It's important to note that weight loss medications are typically prescribed for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or those with a BMI of 27 or higher with obesity-related health conditions.
How much weight should I expect to lose?
The amount of weight you can expect to lose on our weight loss program depends on several factors including your starting weight, metabolism, activity level, and adherence to the program. While some individuals may experience rapid weight loss initially, others may see more gradual progress. We encourage you to focus on making sustainable lifestyle changes and achieving overall health rather than fixating solely on a specific number of pounds lost. Our program is designed to support you in reaching your health and wellness goals in a safe and sustainable way.
Do I have to take weight loss medications long term?
Weight loss medications are typically used to complement lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise. The duration of treatment varies depending on individual circumstances and response to the medication. It's essential to work closely with a healthcare professional to determine the appropriate duration of treatment and to monitor for any potential side effects or changes in health status.
