How to make the most of weight-loss injections

The four- and 12-week weight-loss injection plans at Hendrick Plastic Surgery and MedSpa allow you to match your budget to your goals. Individuals can expect to lose up to 5% of body weight in five weeks. Here are a few tips on how to make the most of the weight-loss program.

Stay active

Weight loss occurs when your energy expenditure (calories burned) is greater than your energy intake (calories consumed). Try to get exercise every day – even if it is just taking a short walk during lunch or taking the stairs. To help you stay consistent, find ways that you enjoy moving your body, or have a workout buddy who will keep you accountable.

Eat a well-balanced diet

Your appetite will likely decrease, so try to make healthy choices for what calories you do intake. To replenish your body with essential vitamins and minerals, eat a balanced diet of mostly lean meats, fresh vegetables and fruit. Try to eat protein with your carbohydrates to balance out blood sugars by preventing blood sugar spikes and crashes. The best part of these medications is that no food is “off-limits,” but foods that are fatty or greasy can make side effects worse.

Add-ons

At Hendrick Plastic Surgery and MedSpa, we offer a few discounted add-on treatments to help manage side effects and encourage weight loss. B12 Injections can help increase energy and balance your metabolism. Lipo-mino injections, often referred to as the weight-loss booster, is thought to encourage fat loss.
