Nutrition and Weight Loss Counseling

According to the Centers for Disease Control, those who have a body mass index (BMI) of 25-29 are considered overweight, and those who have a BMI of 30+ are designated as obese.

Do you know what your current body mass index is? Calculate your BMI.

Having an awareness of your weight and body mass index is important. Extra weight can cause high cholesterol and high blood pressure levels, leading to an increased risk for heart disease and stroke. It is also a common risk factor of Type 2 diabetes. This makes weight loss a vital part of good health.

At Hunt Regional Medical Center, our weight loss counseling team can help you determine:

  • Your current weight and BMI
  • Your target weight and BMI

From there, we can aid you in managing your weight by helping you adopt positive lifestyle changes–namely, changes in the way you eat and exercise.

Thinking about the way you are currently eating, do you:

  • Know how many calories you consume each day?
  • Know how many calories you should be consuming each day?
  • Make it a point to eat breakfast each day.
  • Know which foods you should be incorporating into your diet.
  • Know which foods you should be eating in moderation.
  • Try to control your portion sizes.
  • Consume alcohol in moderation?

If the answer is no, our team can help you get the nutrition guidance you need. Registered dietitians are available to:

  • Evaluate your current nutritional status
  • Help you determine your dietary needs
  • Help you set nutrition goals
  • Educate you on how to make healthy food choices geared toward weight loss and diabetes management.

In addition to eating well, being physically active is another way to support healthy weight loss and diabetes management. Work with our team to learn:

  • How often should you be exercising
  • Which types of exercises are effective at burning fat/calories
  • Which activities are a good fit for your personal needs/limitations

Additional lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking or the use of other tobacco products and managing stress can also aid in weight management.
