Comprehensive Medical Weight Loss
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.
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.
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.

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.

Just as a negative comment or insult might leave you feeling insecure or depressed, kind and motivational words can be a source of inspiration.

When it comes to weight loss, not everything you hear is true. This is a continuation of our discussion of myths about obesity.
While it might seem like it will take years to understand what is healthy and what is not, this isn’t the case. Luckily for you, there are simple cheat sheets posted on every package of food and drink sold in the United States. All you need to do is learn how to read a nutrition label and you will be able to start making educated decisions about what to eat and what not to eat.
One of my favorite topics to lecture both to doctors and to the community about is myths and facts about obesity. For example, I love seeing the look in physicians’ eyes when I tell them that instructing their patients of weight to eat less and exercise more is not effective advice, and in fact may ultimately do more harm than good.
There are two important pieces of information that need to be realized about our working habits, especially as you shift your focus to a medical weight loss program in Denver. One is that most of us are fatigued, overworked and willing to take the easiest route possible when it comes to eating habits. The second is that where we work is pretty much a second home, so eating habits there need to be assessed just as heavily as they are in our own kitchens.
Just when we think we're out of the woods (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, New Year's, Valentine's!), here come Easter and Passover! How in the world are we supposed to fit into those nice summer shorts, dresses and swimsuits with these huge caloric events ahead?
