Worried About Holiday Weight Gain?

With the holidays and New Year’s resolutions approaching, many are concerned about gaining weight. If you’re one of those folks worried about weight gain this holiday season, which weight loss method should you choose? According to Treatment Guidelines from The Medical Letter, diet and exercise are your best bet.

The Medical Letter recently evaluated various techniques for losing weight and concluded that while drugs may be helpful to some patients, they all have drawbacks. Gastric bypass, another possible solution, can produce significant weight loss, however, the most effective procedures require lifelong follow-up to prevent and treat complications associated with poor absorption of nutrients in the body.

“Losing even a small amount of weight and increasing physical activity can prevent some of the complications of obesity, particularly type 2 diabetes,” said Gianna Zuccotti, Deputy Editor of The Medical Letter. “Diet and exercise continue to be the preferred methods for losing weight, with organized support groups such as Weight Watchers being helpful for many patients.”
