Weight Loss Strategies
Many people are constantly looking for ways to lose weight, or they may struggle with chronic weight management. Maintaining a healthy weight has numerous health benefits, including improved physical health, heart health, control of blood sugar, and improvement of mood. Weight loss is achieved in those who have a calorie deficit, meaning more calories are being burned than the amount of calories being eaten in a given day. A healthy lifestyle can be challenging to achieve, and some people, even after giving their best efforts, are unable to achieve target weight goals on their own. For these people, medication may be helpful to achieve weight loss goals.
