Things to consider before deciding on the best weight loss program for you.

Any successful, long-term weight loss program must focus on your overall health, not just on what you eat. Changing your lifestyle is not easy, but adopting healthy habits may help you manage your weight in the long run.

Effective weight-loss programs include ways to keep the weight off for good. These programs promote healthy behaviors that help you lose weight and that you can stick with every day.

Safe and effective weight-loss programs should include

a plan to keep the weight off over the long run

guidance on how to develop healthier eating and physical activity habits

ongoing feedback, monitoring, and support
slow and steady weight-loss goals—usually ½ to 2 pounds per week (though weight loss may be faster at the start of a program)

Some weight-loss programs may use very low-calorie diets (up to 800 calories per day) to promote rapid weight loss among people who have a lot of excess weight. This type of diet requires close medical supervision through frequent office visits and medical tests.

Questions to ask before deciding

Professionals working for weight-loss programs should be able to answer questions about the program’s features, safety, costs, and results. The following are sample questions you may want to ask.

What does the weight-loss program include?

Does the program offer group classes or one-on-one counseling that will help me develop healthier habits?

Do I have to follow a specific meal plan or keep food records?

Do I have to buy special meals or supplements?

If the program requires special foods, can I make changes based on my likes, dislikes, and food allergies (if any)?

Will the program help me be more physically active, follow a specific physical activity plan, or provide exercise guidelines?

Will the program work with my lifestyle and cultural needs? Does the program provide ways to deal with such issues as social or holiday eating, changes to work schedules, lack of motivation, and injury or illness?

Does the program include a plan to help me keep the weight off once I’ve lost weight?
What are the staff credentials?

Who supervises the program?

What type of weight-control certifications, education, experience, and training do the staff have?

If it seems too good to be true…it probably is!

Do the people involved in the program get to talk with a doctor?

Does a doctor or other certified health professional run the program?

Will the program’s doctor or staff work with my health care provider if needed (for example, to address how the program may affect an existing medical issue)?
