Weight loss: Track your stats and get support!

If there was one particular piece of advice I would give anyone who is struggling to lose weight, it’s this: Find a worthwile program that is medically managed and does regular medical statistcs evaluations; this is the only real way you can know and track whether what you are doing is working.

In addition, group settings for medically managed weight loss programs are key, because there is no better way to keep motivated and focused than to share the experiences you are having, with other people who are trying to do the same things. The programs from Dr. Darm are an example, see this video of a woman who worked with him.

When you sign up for a diet program from a late night TV commercial and end up with a bunch of pills, supplements, “energy bars” and so on, you are completely lacking the structure of support that a medically managed program would give. See if you can;t find a group support setting in your area, and make sure it has medical professionals like Dr. Darm who can monitor your progress
