Back To Basics: Nutrition and Exercise as a Power Duo
Navigating the sea of fad diets and quick fixes can be overwhelming, but the truth remains clear: nutrition and exercise are critical to any weight loss approach, be it surgical or non-surgical. At New York Bariatric Group (NYBG), we help our patients integrate these core elements into the comprehensive weight-loss programs we offer.
NYBG is equipped to guide you with extensive resources and unwavering support in both medication management and lifestyle changes. While oral and injectable weight-loss medications can be effective short-term strategies, their long-term success and safety are still being researched and are unknown. This is where the importance of diet and exercise becomes paramount.
Our expert team of dietitians outline 4 pillars of effective weight loss. Today, we’ll focus on the first two of these four pillars.
- Good Food Choices
- Exercise
- Hydration
- Sleep
Nutrition: Fueling Your Body
A balanced diet is the cornerstone of every successful weight-loss strategy. Your body needs vital nutrients to support daily functions and overall health. At NYBG, our team of compassionate and knowledgeable dietitians helps patients meet their weight-loss objectives by crafting tailored meal, lifestyle, and sleep plans to suit each patient’s unique needs.
Exercise: Moving Towards a Healthier Future
Regular physical activity is indispensable in any medical weight-loss journey. Exercise not only facilitates calorie burning but also boosts metabolism, improves cardiovascular health, enhances mood, and builds muscle mass, all contributing to overall well-being. At NYBG, patients receive personalized exercise plans that are pivotal to their weight loss journey. Additionally, our Virtual Health Partners (VHP) app offers 24-hour support for nutrition, behavioral health, and exercise, ensuring patients are never alone in their journey.
Comprehensive Support for Any Approach
Proper nutrition and regular exercise extend far beyond weight loss. They can reduce the risk of
chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers, thereby improving quality and longevity of life. NYBG is committed to supporting you at every step with the best advice, resources, and expertise to help you achieve your weight-loss goals.
Consistency is key! There is no one-size-fits-all solution, but the NYBG team continually adapts to each patient’s evolving needs throughout the program.
