When it comes time to lose weight, you can be your own best friend or worst enemy. Your attitude has a lot to do with the weight loss success you will experience. A medical weight loss program can present you with proven strategies and tools to make changes in your life, but it is a positive attitude and solid sense of accountability that will keep you sticking with the tools you’re provided.

During medical weight loss in Denver, you’ll have many important decisions to make. When it comes to what you eat and how you exercise, you almost always have a choice, and choosing well will propel you down the path to success. However, the choices we make aren’t always the result of our own thoughts and desires—environment can also play a substantial role.

Being SMART with your Fitness Goals

Imagine setting off on a journey without any clear expectations of where you were headed. One day you simply wake up, decide you’d like to live further south and take off. No goals, no expectations, no destination. To most people this sounds a bit crazy. When you decide to make momentous change in your life you want to have at least an idea of what the next step entails.

Facts about Obesity

This is a continuation of our discussion of weight loss myths, perceptions, and facts. Now it’s time to change gears again. In part one and part two of this series, we discussed myths (things that are believed but simply aren’t true), and in part three and part four we talked about presumptions (things we think are true but we can’t really prove it one way or the other – so, unsubstantiated beliefs). Let’s talk about some obesity FACTS that we KNOW are true.

Presumptions about Obesity, Part 4

This is a continuation of our discussion of weight loss myths, perceptions and facts. In part one and part two of this series, we touched on myths about obesity and factors like goal-setting, physical education and sexual activity. Now, we continue our discussion of presumptions about obesity—the things we believe to be true about obesity that scientific evidence has not made certain.

Presumptions about Obesity, Part 3

This is a continuation of our discussion of weight loss myths, perceptions, and facts. Unlike the myths we discussed in part one and part two of this series, which we know are just not true, it is just as important to recognize that there are many widely held beliefs regarding obesity that we just don’t have the scientific evidence to support. These beliefs or presumptions may or may not be true.
