Calorie counting and exercise are the central components of a medical weight loss program. In general, the less exercise you do, and the more calories you consume, the more body fat you will accumulate. The reverse remains true as well; the more exercise you do, and the fewer calories you consume, the less body fat you will accumulate.   A majority of obese individuals suffer from medical conditions that can contribute to weight gain which is a key factor in any weight management program. This is not due to a lack of exercise or a poor diet, but rather from other medical conditions that can contribute to weight gain. When taking part in a medical weight loss program, a physician can prescribe or alter any medication necessary to treat any underlying medical disorder or disease if they deem it medically necessary.   Medical weight loss is available at MedBridge WV.
