Weight Management in Denton
Safe, Sustainable Weight Loss
The healthiest weight loss is gradual, about 1 to 2 pounds per week. Rapid weight loss can increase the risk of gallstones and is harder to maintain.
Nutrition That Supports Digestion
A Mediterranean-style pattern rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, fish and olive oil supports both weight loss and gut health. Limiting sugary drinks and ultra-processed foods also helps.
Staying Active
Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate activity each week, such as brisk walking, plus muscle-strengthening activities on two days.
