4 Common Kinds of Weight Loss Specialists

• The weight loss journey can be emotionally and
  physically exhausting, especially when pursuing
  traditional methods. Obesity can cause an array
  of conditions, including joint problems,
  diabetes, and heart attack. If you've tried
  losing weight but all your efforts have been in
  vain, it is time to talk to weight loss
  specialists in Dallas.

• Generally, the weight loss journey begins with a
  family physician, who recommends a nutrition
  rich, calorie-less diet plan along with regular
  exercises. If that too does not help, they may
  recommend a specialist.
•  
• In this blog post, we look at four common types
  of weight loss specialists that can help you in
  your journey.
•  
• 1. General Physician
• A general practitioner, also known as a family
  physician, is usually the starting point of the
  weight loss journey, especially for people that
  are not obese and need to lose just a few pounds.
  They may give patients guidelines for healthy
  weight loss depending on their health condition
  and age. The guidelines generally relate to
  appropriate exercises and a list of items you
  should eliminate from your diet. If you are
  facing extreme difficulty losing weight even
  after following such recommendations, the General
  Physician will refer you to a specialist.

• 2. Bariatric Physician
• Bariatric physicians are weight loss specialists
  who study obesity in detail along with its
  prevention and causes. They provide all the
  necessary information about nutrition and
  exercise. For morbidly obese, certain exercises
  can carry risks and a bariatric physician will
  advise patients on how to minimize them. In case
  you need surgery, they will refer you to a
  bariatric surgeon.
• 3. Endocrinologist
• Endocrinologists study glands and the hormones
  secreted from them. Many hormonal conditions
  such as hypothyroidism, cushing disease, and
  polycystic ovary syndrome contribute to excessive
  weight gain. If a person has an endocrine
  system-related disorder, they must seek help from
  an endocrinologist before going to a weight loss
  specialist or opting for dietary changes.
• 4. Nutritionist
• Nutritionists or dietitians are not physicians,
  but experts in diet and nutrition. They advise
  people about proper eating habits, healthy diet,
  how each food item can affect their overall
  health, and other issues related to obesity.

• Bariatric medical practices generally work
  hand-in-glove with nutritionists who advise
  patients on their diet habits before and after
  weight loss surgery.
