Weight Loss Atlanta GA

What Is Weight Loss Treatment?

You may have excellent genes, or you may eat properly and exercise regularly. But for many people, losing weight and keeping it off is very difficult to accomplish. People can gain weight for various reasons, and most of the time it isn't just because they overeat or don't exercise enough. To help you transform your body, Atlanta Medical Institute (AMI) proudly offers several advanced weight loss programs.

We strive to help you attain your weight loss goals, keep the weight off, and reduce problems caused by weight-related diseases. Our team of highly trained physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and weight loss specialists in Atlanta, GA understand that one plan does not fit everybody's lifestyle or preferences. We design tailored treatment plans that specifically meet your needs and address chronic diseases or conditions that hinder your ability to lose weight.

At AMI, we use cutting-edge technologies and innovative weight loss techniques. No matter the program type, all of our plans are physician-supervised and personally designed for you. Similar to having high blood pressure or asthma, weight gain deserves the same kind of medical attention.

What Is Medical Weight Loss?

With Atlanta Medical Institute's Physician Supervised Weight Loss Program, your health and well-being are more than just a number on a scale. At our medical weight loss clinic in Atlanta, GA, your health and weight are more completely assessed, and your progress is tracked in more ways than simply how many pounds you may lose.

There are no group sessions, and each client is assessed and given an individually tailored program to suit their needs. We will discuss your concerns and offer motivation in your weekly educational consultations. As there are no lock-in contracts and you pay as you go, your individual program has the flexibility to be changed if and when needed.

Our clinic does not promote only one method or program of weight loss. We offer a range of options, including dietary meal replacements, detoxification, dietary guidance, medication support, and psychological support. Through comprehensive assessment and discussion with our clients, we aim to provide a more personalized approach to medical weight loss.

During your initial visit, you will complete a questionnaire that asks about current and past health and living habits. Next, you will meet with one of our highly trained weight loss doctors to review your health history, perform testing (which includes a physical), and consult with you about your health and well-being goals. If you could benefit from treatment, you will undergo saliva, urine, and/or blood sampling to determine if your blood chemistry is accelerating weight gain and whether other factors need to be addressed.

What Are Hormone Replacement Therapy and BHRT?

As men and women age, their hormone production starts to decline. This decrease in hormones can cause imbalances and negative side effects, which may contribute to weight gain.

At AMI, we use both hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to address the unique needs of individuals. Safe and effective, both HRT and BHRT can work well for some patients. These weight loss programs can reduce, slow, and prevent weight gain or negative side effects.

BHRT is a natural hormonal therapy that uses plant-derived hormones identical in chemical and molecular structure to ones produced by the human body. Both HRT and BHRT should always be administered by a physician who is skilled in hormone replacement therapy.

How Can I Lose Weight With Fitness and Nutrition Counseling?

We're all different from a nutritional standpoint. This is called biochemical individuality — no single exercise or diet plan is right for everyone. For example, one person may do well with a higher carbohydrate diet while others thrive on Zone-type meals incorporating more protein and fat. Some patients kick-start their program with a raw food diet that leaves them more energized and clear-headed.

At AMI, our goal isn't to impose a belief system or have you follow a particular diet; instead, we teach you the basics of healthy nutrition and provide a personalized exercise program. To help determine what foods and exercises may work best for you, AMI uses highly trained specialists that focus on the science of exercise and nutrition. After figuring out your specific metabolic needs, we apply the basic principles of good nutrition and exercise — helping you maintain proper weight, feel energized, and improve your overall quality of life.

What Is Lifestyle Coaching?

Our professional Atlanta weight loss specialists design weight loss programs, provide thorough education, offer motivational strategies, and give guidance throughout your transformation. The goal of our programs is a simple, effective, proactive plan anyone can implement with ease and minimal time commitments.

During your consultation, we design an action plan that focuses on your lifestyle choices and provides the best results for you. We create your program to address current medical conditions or concerns, and carefully measure and track results throughout the process so we can adjust your plan as needed.

What Is Nutritional Counseling?

Our team of skilled experts can provide nutritional counseling to guide your weight loss journey. During your counseling appointments, we discuss your lifestyle habits, sleep patterns, stomach issues, energy levels, and stress levels to identify areas of concern. We may also ask you to create a food journal of your current diet. Once all areas have been discussed, we'll talk about changing your habits, what foods to avoid, and how to achieve your weight loss goals.
