Who Is a Good Candidate for Weight Management?

At Knox Wellness Experience in Knoxville, TN, we know that almost everyone wants to lose some amount of weight. For some, it’s those last five pounds, but for others, it’s far more. Our experts can design the right weight management plan, whether you simply want to improve your body composition or lose the weight you need to ward off weight-related diseases and improve your overall health and well-being. We’ll help you become an improved and healthier version of yourself.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Weight Management?

Men and women from all different backgrounds, body compositions, and walks of life make good candidates for weight management. For some, their healthiest weight requires that they lose 50 or more pounds.

For others, they would feel more confident if they were five to fifteen pounds lighter. Whether you need to lose a significant amount of weight and need help losing it, or you have never reached a healthy weight, you may be the perfect candidate for one of our weight management plans.

You Need To Learn the Right Way To Eat

If you have spent your entire life up to now making poor food choices that have kept you from living life at your healthiest weight, a weight management program may be exactly what you need to finally take control of your health and reach a healthy weight. Lifestyle plays a significant role in your weight. You may have grown up eating the wrong foods because no one taught you how to make healthy food choices.

If so, you also may have found that attempting to eat healthily is not only unenjoyable but very difficult. The good news is, that’s not your destiny. You don’t have to live life at an unhealthy weight. Instead, with our help, you can take your health into your own hands and improve your overall well-being by losing the necessary amount of weight to improve not just your confidence but your well-being.

You Need To Lose Those Last Few Pounds

If you are relatively healthy but still have some extra weight to lose and just can’t seem to make the scale change, you also may qualify for one of our programs. Sometimes you just need an extra edge to help lose those extra pounds, and that’s exactly what we can do. We can design a program for you that helps you break through that weight loss plateau so that you can see visible improvement in your body composition and finally shed those last several pounds.

You Can’t Lose Weight on Your Own

If you have tried to lose weight on your own and have been unable to, you may need a guided program that provides you with built-in accountability so that you can reach your goals. Knowing that someone else will be tracking your progress can make all the difference in helping you stay committed to the process.

When you invest in a program and are guided by professionals investing in you, you’ll be more likely to stick to that program, and then, you’ll finally see real results. Accountability is an important aspect of life, and it is critical regarding weight loss. If you know that accountability is the missing link in your weight loss journey, we can provide you with that and more.

You’ve Reached a Healthy Weight, But You’re Not Healthy

Just because the number on the scale is a culturally acceptable one, that doesn’t mean that you are technically healthy. If you have technically reached a healthy weight but want to lose body fat and increase lean muscle mass, you may qualify for a weight management plan.

Sometimes all it takes is changing your diet and adopting an effective exercise routine to transform your body. Our experts can work with you to overhaul your diet and help you transform your technically healthy body into one defined by an improved body composition.

What Does a Weight Management Plan Entail?

The primary goal of a weight management plan is to help you reach a healthy weight, but it doesn’t end there. This plan can be completely customized to the needs of the patient. It takes many variables that affect body composition into account, including diet, an effective fitness routine, and your behavioral patterns.

There are so many factors that can keep you from losing weight, and when you begin treatment here at our office, we will take a custom-tailored approach and design a plan that will help you finally break through your plateaus, get the accountability you need, and motivate you to do what it takes to reach your goals and even set some new ones that you may have never thought were possible.

Changing Your Diet

If you’re not losing weight despite eating a healthy diet, you may need to shock your body by completely changing the foods you eat. Some people think they are eating healthy but could eliminate several different food choices from their diet. Simply eliminating a few unhealthy foods from your diet can be the key to your success. In the same way, if you’ve never eaten a healthy diet, we can help you by designing a meal plan to help you lose weight.

This plan will also increase your energy levels and maintain balance blood sugar levels. Simply changing your diet can make a drastic improvement in not only how you feel but how you look. We will take your lifestyle, preferences, and dietary needs into account. Eating a healthy diet doesn’t have to be painful, and you don’t have to eat lettuce at every meal. There are so many different flavorful, healthy food options that will help you enjoy your meals.

Learning About Nutrients

If you have never learned how to eat well, you may not know the difference between a nutrient-dense calorie and an empty calorie. For every empty calorie you eat, you could eat double or even triple the amount of food that contains nutrient-dense calories, like lean proteins and vegetables. By simply focusing on eating foods with nutrient-dense calories, you can eat more food and fewer calories and not feel depleted or drained.

We can provide you with details about the right foods that will nourish your body, keep you satiated, and promote weight loss. Weight loss begins in the kitchen. You cannot out-exercise a bad diet, but you can reach your goals simply by overhauling your diet, focusing on portion control and moderation, and sticking to your eating plan.

Exercise

Exercise is another important component of a successful weight loss journey. You can simply change your diet and lose weight, but exercise has so many added benefits and will help speed the weight loss process and help you build lean muscle, burn excess body fat, and improve your health. If you’ve never committed to a fitness routine, starting one will seem overwhelming. That’s where we come in.

We will provide you with the support you need. At our office, you’ll be met by professionals who can tell you how you and when you should work out and how often you should exercise to reach your body goals. Once you start to learn how to exercise, learn the correct form, and use the right amount of weight, you’ll be able to transform your body while losing weight.

Understanding Your Behavioral Patterns

The difference between a weight management plan and a fad diet is that when you follow a plan led by professionals custom-designed to your needs, you’ll be able to understand how your diet, exercise, and behavioral patterns affect your weight. A fad diet simply forces you to cut out food groups and restrict calories, and while it does result in weight loss, most people gain that weight right back after the diet is over because they’ve never learned how to change those behavior patterns.

Understanding the Why

When you commit to a weight loss plan at our office, we will discuss your behavioral patterns. You’ll learn more about yourself, why you have historically made the choices you have, and you’ll learn how to replace bad habits with positive ones. Understanding your behavioral patterns is the key to maintaining your weight loss long-term and living the healthiest lifestyle possible.

The best diet is one that you can maintain long-term. It’s a lifestyle defined by moderation, adequate exercise, and positive eating habits. If you’ve never seen what that looks like in your life, we can help you get there.

Embrace the Future You

There is a version of yourself, the future you, that’s healthy, fit, and happy. If you long to become that person but don’t know how to get there, we can help. Contact us today at Knox Wellness Experience in Knoxville, TN, to learn more about our weight management plans and how they can help you finally reach your goal weight, improve your body composition, and become the best version of yourself.
