Weight loss is a hard process, especially if you are doing it alone. Whether you are struggling with losing weight after pregnancy, need to lose weight for cardiovascular reasons or are just trying to live a healthier life, Dr. Wong can help you find healthy solutions. Specializing in weight management and diabetes, Dr. Wong has been helping men and women of all ages lose the extra pounds for more than 20 years. Our compassionate family doctor will make sure that you never feel alone in your weight loss journey.

Diet is priority #1 when it comes to weight loss. A balanced diet provides the fuel and nutrition a body needs to function. Eating with this idea in mind may help to curb cravings for unhealthy food. Unfortunately, many people eat with the sole intention of delighting their taste buds or indulging an impulse to compulsively put hand to mouth. Basic nutrition guidelines, such as staying hydrated and getting the proper nutrients, can reduce inflammation, improve gut health, and, of course, help with weight loss.

CUSTOMIZED WEIGHT LOSS PLANS

Keeping your health goals in mind, Dr. Wong will develop a tailored, comprehensive approach to your weight loss. By making adjustments to your diet and exercise program, Dr. Wong can help you to shed the extra weight in a healthy way. Throughout the program, he will make sure that you come in for regular checkups and progress reports. Weight loss surgery options may also be discussed, depending on your individual situation. Our family doctor serves the Odessa, TX area!

Follow these evidence-based weight loss tips for a while and see how you feel:

• Drink enough water, particularly before meals
• Eat whole eggs for breakfast
• Drink black (or at least non-heavily-sweetened) coffee or green tea
• Follow intermittent fasting
• Take a glucomannan fiber supplement
• Reduce consumption of sugar and refined carbs
• Use smaller plates and chew more slowly for easier portion control
• Do aerobic exercise and lift weights

Carrying around extra weight can put you at a risk for other health issues as well. Obesity, which is defined as weighing 20% above what is considered normal for a person your height, increases your chances of having heart disease, strokes, diabetes, high blood pressure, gallbladder disease, osteoarthritis, gout, sleep apnea, asthma, and even some types of cancer.  Being overweight is also often linked with depression. To take control of your weight, your health, and your life, trust Dr. Wong to develop a targeted weight loss plan for you.
