Many young adults are experiencing significant developmental changes like hormonal changes, while others are experiencing early adulthood and other changes, and they all have particular needs for their age group, not to mention individual needs. Also, the metabolisms of young people are much different than those of older people, so this is something to consider. We consider all these things here at Metabolic Medical Centers when we put together medical weight-loss programs for young adults.

In these programs, weight loss is supervised by a medical professional who understands youths and their particular needs, as well as the other factors involved, like lifestyle habits. It really is important to consider all these things and factor them into an approach for weight loss, as this accommodates all of a patient’s needs and allows for a fully comprehensive weight loss program. In a program, a patient will have a professional’s support and supervision to ensure efficacy and safety.

Absolutely. In fact, medical weight loss is proven to be safer and more effective than unsupported, unsupervised weight loss methods. This is especially true for patients with chronic conditions like diabetes. Medical weight loss is founded in science, so not only is it very safe, it’s also very effective, it can empower a patient to keep the weight off indefinitely after the program is complete.

In this program, a young adult will be introduced to or reminded of the many factors involved in weight gain and weight loss, then the youth will be encouraged to participate in healthy activities. The youth’s parents can play a role by encouraging and supporting their youth. A medical weight-loss program for a young adult could entail:

• Lab testing – This depends on age and preference and can help us understand the youth’s health needs and metabolism better
• Needs accommodations – Like an accommodation for a chronic condition such as asthma
• A full meal plan or advice about preparing amazing dishes
• Exercises
• Medical monitoring to help ensure the youth’s health is preserved
• Professional guidance to help ensure weight loss is effective too
• Strategies and advice for developing habits to keep the weight off
• Advice and guidance for parents about how to help

The first step is to have a simple consultation with Metabolic Medical Centers. A consultation helps us understand the youth’s needs and precisely how to go about developing the weight-loss program. Also, your consultation with us may be free, so you’ll have nothing to lose!
