Medical weight loss doesn’t rely on fad diets or invasive surgery. Instead, it’s a weight management method grounded in medical and scientific evidence that targets the root causes of weight gain and obesity. The program also helps to reduce your risk of other serious medical conditions associated with being overweight.

Though medical weight loss can be tailored to a range of weight loss goals — whether it’s losing 10 pounds or 100 pounds — it’s particularly beneficial if your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or higher.

Cutting calories is part of the weight loss equation. Generally, if you cut around 500-1,000 calories from your daily diet, you'll drop one to two pounds per week.

You also should make time for regular exercise. Certain activities burn more calories than others. Here are a few examples of the number of calories burned by a 160-pound person in one hour of exercise:

292 calories: Bicycling at 10 mph or less

314 calories: Walking at 3.5 mph

365 calories: Workout on an elliptical machine

423 calories: Swimming laps

606 calories: Running at 5 mph

You may burn more or fewer calories depending on your weight and the intensity of your workout.

Lipoplex, a fat-burning injection, is composed of vitamin b12 and lipotropic nutrients. These work together to prevent fat accumulation in the liver, accelerate metabolism, and promote the flow of fat and bile from the liver for them to be removed as waste. The shots may be given weekly in conjunction with a weight loss plan that includes diet and exercise.
