Achieve Your Weight Loss Goals This Year with Our Expert Support 

The promise of a new year often spurs us to set new goals for the future, and many people frequently target losing weight. These goals might involve losing a few pounds for an upcoming vacation or radically changing body mass to improve overall health. 

No matter how much weight you plan to shed, progressing can be difficult when your body doesn’t always respond as expected. Your chances are better when you enlist medical support for your efforts. 

John Risi, FNP, owner of New Spirit Health in Mesa, Arizona, offers medically supervised weight loss assistance so that you can make the changes you need without compromise or risk. If you have difficulty losing weight, contact us for a personal consultation. 

Why is it so hard to lose weight? 

When you burn more calories than you eat, you should lose weight. This equation sounds linear and logical, but often, the results contradict your efforts. 

Cutting calories can cause changes in your body that shift your metabolism. Your body burns specific calories daily regardless of activity or exercise. This is called basal metabolism. 

Cutting back on your caloric intake can shock your body into responding to less food. Your basal metabolism may slow, resulting in a change in the fundamental weight-loss equation, and it’s not a change in your favor. 

That’s part of the reason why exercise isn’t a one-stop weight loss solution. Adding exercise to counter a slower basal metabolism could leave you drained of energy and the motivation to push. It’s no wonder so many people who are sincere about their weight loss efforts hit plateaus where nothing seems to jump-start lost pounds again.
