There are ways of going about losing weight that do not work such as crash dieting or following the latest fad diet. If you are looking for steady, long-term success in your weight loss goals, medical nutrition therapy may be the way to go.
Why Is Medical Nutrition Therapy For Weight Loss Important?
It is important to reduce your weight if you weigh too much, and much more important for patients who are overweight. Too much weight can further lead to medical problems like:
- Diabetes
- Sleep apnea
- Hypertension
- Heart attack
- Infertility
- Mental health problems
- Fatty liver disease
Also, without the proper way of addressing weight loss, following the latest fad diet can lead to health risks of its own.
