Dr. Jalil Khan Reveals Secret on Weight Loss

The key to weight management is simple – eat less, exercise more. That’s not quite it, according to Dr. Jalil Khan, MD. If it were truly that simple, no one would be overweight. Dr Khan believes that most people know that they need to eat healthier and exercise more, but that there can be a multitude of physical, emotional, and/or social factors that prevent them from doing so. The key to successful weight management, according to Dr Khan, is to discover what is preventing you from maintaining your optimum weight, and then to create a plan that will address those issues.

Dr Jalil Khan, MD recommends a complete physical before starting any weight management program. A checkup is necessary to identify any physical concerns that may be a factor in a person’s weight issues. There are certain medical conditions, such as an underactive thyroid, that can affect a person’s ability to lose weight. Particular medications, such as steroids, certain anti-seizure medications, and even birth control pills, can also cause weight gain. Dr Khan believes that working with your doctor to address these issues makes weight management more attainable, reducing the anxiety and feelings of being overwhelmed that many people feel when going it alone. It is also important to work with your doctor to find the proper exercise regimen. Certain medical conditions will make strenuous forms of exercise unadvisable. Dr Khan says everyone can exercise; they just need to make a plan with their doctor to find the safest way.

In today’s culture, according to Dr Jalil Khan, MD, food has many social and emotional correlations for people. This can be a problem when dieting – people aren’t just denying themselves food, but feel as if they are denying themselves an important component of their lives. Dr Khan advises his patients not to concentrate on eating less, but to concentrate on eating healthier. People need to pay more attention to what they are putting in their bodies. Realizing that the primary focus of eating is to fuel your body can help you to make better choices about food.

Dr Jalil Khan, MD understands that maintaining a healthy weight is a difficult process for many people. That is why he works with his patients to create a plan that focuses on not only their particular physical needs, but also their emotional aspects. With this partnership approach, according to Dr Khan, his patients feel less stress in regards to weight management. He helps them to plan their journey to becoming healthier, and they feel more confident to take that journey.
