Weight Management

---

A successful weight-loss program focuses on creating sustainable habits for long-term weight management rather than quick fixes.

Why is losing weight so challenging?
Many people struggle with weight loss because typical diet and exercise programs are hard to maintain over time. While reducing calories and exercising are important, strict short-term diets often lead to hunger and cravings, which can cause you to overeat and regain the weight. A good weight management program focuses on long-term habits that support lasting results, not just temporary weight loss.

What is weight management?
Weight management is about adopting lifelong behaviors that help you reach and maintain a healthy weight. It’s not about strict restrictions or counting calories, but about creating sustainable habits. Maintaining a healthy weight can reduce your risk of chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease.

At Costa Mesa Medical Clinic, our bilingual staff (English and Spanish) works with patients to provide personalized, high-quality care and support healthy lifestyle changes.

What can I expect from a weight management program?
Patient-centered care is at the heart of our weight management services. Your provider begins with a thorough physical exam and lab tests to identify any underlying health issues, such as low thyroid hormone levels, that may affect weight loss. They will review your current diet, exercise routine, and personal goals to develop a tailored plan.

Your weight management plan may include:

• Balanced meal planning
   
• Tips for increasing physical activity
   
• Behavioral therapy and habit coaching
   
• Guidance on sleep and recovery
   
• Weight-loss medications if appropriate
   

Regular follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor progress, adjust your plan, and provide support for lasting lifestyle changes.
