Top Five Weight Loss Solutions for Men

Nutrition Counseling

One of the best ways to control your weight and improve your overall health is by controlling your food intake and quality. While changing your daily diet is a great way to lose weight, not everyone knows how to properly fuel their body, especially if a certain health condition requires special diet restrictions. Group or individual nutrition counseling with a registered dietician can be a great way to improve your diet. Your dietician will help you determine a personalized plan that emphasizes nutrition, movement, and coping strategies as you develop a healthier relationship with food. 

Meal Replacement Programs

There are various meal replacement programs, and not all are created equal. The best and most effective meal replacement programs are monitored by a physician who guides you through a program to help you lose weight, develop healthy eating habits, and maintain weight loss. Often, these programs replace a meal with a shake or protein bar, which has fewer calories than you would consume from a standard meal. During this weight-loss phase, reduced food distractions help you learn to recognize hunger and fullness cues accurately. 

Weight Loss Medications

While behavioral and lifestyle changes are at the root of all medical weight-loss treatments, weight-loss medications can be a very effective tool in your overall weight-loss journey. Some prescription weight-loss medications, such as the Semaglutide/GLP-1s Wegovy and Ozempic, make you feel fuller and control your overall appetite. Other medications change how fat is absorbed into your body and improve insulin resistance. Our experts at Lowcountry Male can discuss FDA-approved weight-loss medication options, including injections and oral tablets, and recommend which option might be best for you based on your BMI and overall health goals.

Bariatric Surgery

Although it is invasive, Bariatric surgery might be a good option for those who’ve found other less invasive weight-loss options, such as medications, ineffective. Today’s most common bariatric surgeries are the Roux-en Y gastric bypass surgery and the gastric sleeve surgery, both minimally invasive procedures that effectively alter the stomach and digestive systems. For people with a BMI above 35, bariatric surgery is often the most effective long-term treatment for weight loss.

Intragastric Balloons

Intragastric balloons are also minimally invasive, non-surgical weight-loss treatment options. During this outpatient procedure, a silicone balloon is inserted into the stomach using a scope and then filled with a saline solution until it is the size of a grapefruit. This temporary balloon implant limits your stomach’s capacity, which makes you feel fuller while reinforcing portion control. After about 6 months, the balloon is removed. This weight loss treatment is typically best for those with a BMI of 30 or greater.
