W8MD's steps for safe and effective weight loss. Did you know that 1 in 3 people have insulin resistance or are considered “pre” diabetic which could be the main reason that people are overweight? Losing just 5-10% of your weight will help you reduce risks of heart attacks, diabetes and even some cancers. Under the direction of Dr. Prab Tumpati, or other weightmd weight loss physician, W8MD Weight Loss Centers can help you overcome obesity and to make a difference. Dr. Tumpati has passed a written board examination in the field of Bariatric Medicine and is also Board Certified in Sleep Medicine and Internal Medicine. The doctor’s of W8MD partner with each patient to develop a custom weight management program to best meet their individual needs taking into account their medical history, lifestyle and goals. Since weight and sleep go together, most of the W8MD centers are able to address sleep issues such as snoring, obstructive sleep apnea, narcolepsy, insomnia and restless leg syndrome to name a few. And the best part of the program is that most insurance’s cover the doctor visits. If you have a little or a lot of weight to lose and want to do it without surgery, set up fees and mandatory meal replacements or appetite suppressants, think W8MD for weight loss. What is a safe and effective weight loss program? A healthy weight loss program consists of: •A reasonable, realistic weight loss goal •A reduced calorie, nutritionally-balanced eating plan •Regular physical activity •A behavior change plan to help you stay on track with your goals Correction of underlying insulin resistance, sleep disorders, eating disorders, food addiction, and reversal of the metabolic causes for weight gain under medical supervision. FDA approved weight loss medicatins when appropriate. W8MD combines all these approaches for best results so you can lose weight safely. Since we accept health insurance for the physician visits at most W8MD centers, unlike hte many cash only weight loss clinics, it is cheaper than even non-medical weight loss programs as your insurance will most likely cover the cost of the physician visits. As obesity affects up to 50 different medical conditions, you cannot afford to not do anything if you are overweight or obese.

1. W8MD’s
8 Steps to
weight loss and
wellness
Are you a bit overweight or
obese?
Are you looking for a way to
lose weight in an inexpensive
way with insurance?

2. Weight loss step 1
 Step 1.
 Check to see what might be causing your
weight gain. Use this free W8MD insulin
resistance calculator tool to determine if
you might be insulin resistant that might
be causing your weight gain.

3. Weight Loss Step 2
 Check your body mass index and understand your
risk, see what group you fall in to in terms of your
weight relative to your height. You can be in
underweight if you have a body mass index of
 under 18,
 normal weight if you have a body mass index of
18-25,
 overweight with a BMI of 25-30,
 mild obesity between 30-35,
 moderate obesity between 35-40 and
 severe obesity with a BMI of 40 or over.

4. Weight Loss Step 3
 Get a tape and measure the most
prominent portion of your belly in inches.
Also get a copy of the last blood work
from your physician or health care
provider and use this free online tool
called metabolic syndrome meter to see
if you might have metabolic syndrome.

5. Weight loss step 3 cont.
 If your weight is in the belly or upper part of
the body, that could be a sign of metabolic
syndrome. Other signs of metabolic syndrome
include low triglycerides or low good
cholesterol. If you already take a cholesterol
lowering medication, you count these two
factors as positive or look at the blood work
before the start of the medication. Having
high blood pressure or taking a blood pressure
medication, having prediabetes with a fasting
blood sugar of over 100 or a history of
diabetes would count as one point.

6. Weight loss step 3 cont.
 A waist circumference of over 36 inches in
the most prominent section for women or
over 40 inches for men (lower for Asians)
would count as a point. If you scored 3 or
more on the above meter, it is a sign of
metabolic syndrome, also called insulin
resistance syndrome

7. Weight Loss Step 4
 Determine your weight neutral calories
using the free W8DM calorie counter
available on the main page of
W8MD.com based on your activity level,
age, height and weight etc. Why Obesity
Is A Medical Condition

8. Weight Loss Step 5
 Determine your weight loss goals. The initial goal
will be about 10 to 20 percent based on your body
mass index and how much you have to lose.

Even Modest Weight Loss Can Mean Big Benefits
The good news is that no matter what your weight
loss goal is, even a modest weight loss, such as 5
to 10 percent of your total body weight, is likely to
produce health benefits, such as improvements in
blood pressure, blood cholesterol, and blood
sugars.

9. Weight Loss Step 6
 Find out if your insurance covers for your weight
loss. Thanks to the Affordable Care act, most
insurances are now mandated to provide
coverage for these essential weight loss services.

of 2010 mandates all insurances, including
Medicare, to provide full insurance coverage for
obesity!W8MD Medical Weight Loss Centers is one
