Why might losing weight be important for my health?

Excess weight not only affects your ability to perform certain activities, but it can also affect your health. Being overweight can increase your risk of many health conditions, such as: Type 2 diabetes High blood pressure High cholesterol Heart disease Stroke Arthritis Joint pain Sleep apnea Losing weight and maintaining a healthy weight can make a big difference for your overall well-being. In fact, losing as little as 5 to 10% of your body weight can improve a number of chronic conditions. Depending on your existing conditions, your weight loss doctor in Metro Atlanta may recommend other services to help you maximize your well-being. We offer primary care , diabetes management, heart health services, and more.

Are results from my weight loss program permanent?

The results from weight loss depend upon the lifestyle changes you make during the program. If you keep up your healthy habits, you can expect your results to be permanent. However, these changes are often difficult to implement, which is why you have access to a physician for the duration of your program. We use our medical expertise to educate and support you, so you can make the best decisions for your health.

How fast can I expect to lose weight?

Each patient is different when it comes to their progress. The rate of weight loss depends on a variety of factors, including your metabolism, genetics, exercise frequency, and caloric adjustments. Plus, some patients have medical conditions that may interfere with their ability to lose weight quickly. Generally, we recommend our patients lose weight at a rate of 1 to 2 pounds per week. This may vary, however, so we can determine what may be right for you during your consultation. The exact length of time to reach your goal weight will vary from patient to patient, especially depending on your starting weight.

How do weight loss medications help with weight loss?

The weight loss medications we offer at Ahmed Family Practice help suppress your appetite. Many patients who struggle with weight management may have trouble gauging how much to eat in order to lose weight. Your weight loss doctor in Metro Atlanta will teach you proper nutrition and caloric intake, but changing this habit can be hard for many. Because of this, we offer both oral and injectable weight loss medications to help with appetite control. These medications signal to your brain that you are fuller sooner to decrease the number of calories you consume per day.

Can I receive Emsculpt NEO as part of my weight loss program?

While Emsculpt NEO can target specific areas of the body to slim down, it is not a replacement for a weight loss program. You will get the best results from Emsculpt NEO if you first achieve your goal weight. However, as you make progress, you can receive Emsculpt NEO treatments to assist with certain areas and to strengthen your muscles.
