Regardless of its cause, obesity is highly treatable with the right personalized weight loss program in place.

Tailoring a custom weight loss program

Dr. Seecoomar meets with you to determine which personalized weight loss plan is likely the most effective based on your lifestyle, needs, medical history, and goals. He asks about your food preferences; diet, exercise, and sleep habits; stress level, and body weight goals to create a program you can stick with for a lifetime. You might need blood tests to assess hormones.

Personalized weight loss program basics

Your customized weight loss plan with Dr. Seecoomar is something created specifically for you. It might contain the following components (based on your unique needs):

If you’re a candidate for weight loss surgery, Dr. Seecoomar discusses your options to help you achieve success, feel full from fewer calories, and make weight loss easier. 

As a rule, it’s helpful to focus on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and other high-fiber options. Choose fish, seafood, eggs, chicken, and other lean protein foods plus heart-healthy fats (olive oil, avocados, nuts, seeds, etc.). 

Stay active as often as you can throughout the day, drink more water, consume water before meals, and undergo counseling for any trauma, stress, addictions, depression, or anxiety. 

Follow up with Dr. Seecoomar routinely during and after your personalized weight loss journey to ensure lasting success, more energy, self-confidence, and an enhanced quality of life.
