Weight Management
An important part of Anti-Aging is weight management which impacts total health and internal inflammation. At Augusta Anti-Aging Medicine, we offer a comprehensive weight management program that is tailored to your individual needs.
Achieving Weight Loss
There are different methods to achieving weight loss. Many patients may participate in varying methods to achieving weight loss. Some of which include a low carbohydrate-high fat; a low fat; time-restrictive; “Keto”; or a glycemic index diet. The studies reviewed have helped to prolong scientific uncertainty over whether low-carbohydrate or low-fat diets are the most effective for long-term weight control. At present, a diet that contains a variety of plants and restricted refined foods, high fiber, and the elimination of refined sugars, gluten, and dairy seems to provide the most benefit. There is conflicting evidence substantiating quantitative differences in long-term group mean weight loss between low-fat and low-carbohydrate diets. Targeting identifiable populations with specific macronutrient compositions based on physiological principles has barely been addressed to date, and may provide a new route to greater effectiveness in weight loss programs and prevention of weight gain. Studies do support. individuals that are on hormone replacement therapy have better weight loss outcomes for hormone deficient individuals. However, the best course of therapy for weight management is the one you are most compliant with.
