Your doctor will create a diet plan that includes calorie-reduced foods during medical weight loss treatment. You can discuss with your doctor some of the different diets used to lose weight, such as high protein diets, low carbohydrate diets, and intermittent fasting, depending on how many calories you consume from different sources. Depending on the type of diet and eating schedule you follow, your doctor will help you come up with an eating plan that helps you lose weight.   The importance of exercise when losing weight cannot be overstated. Your body can burn fat stored in your body more effectively and use the energy you eat more efficiently by exercising. You can ask your doctor about different weight loss exercises and workouts to lose weight so that you can find the ones that work best for your lifestyle. In order for behavioral changes to be effective, they need to be tailored to each individual's lifestyle and personality. Having a medical weight loss plan designed by your doctor that incorporates exercise and healthy foods will help you lose weight in a way that is optimized for your lifestyle.   To complement your doctor’s weight loss diet and exercise recommendations, your doctor may prescribe FDA-approved weight loss medication, if medically appropriate. These medications include phentermine, topiramate (Qsymia), Wegovy, Saxenda, Ozempic, Moujaro, and Semagltuide. These medications will only be prescribed after a doctor has reviewed your health history and had the chance to go over your goals with you. To ensure your health while taking these medications, your doctor will monitor you carefully. For effective weight loss, these medications will usually be used in conjunction with other weight loss methods, not as the only method.
