Talk with your healthcare professional about your weight-loss efforts
Before you start a weight-loss program, talk with your healthcare professional. Together, you can go over your health issues and the medicines you take that might affect your weight.
Your healthcare professional can guide you to help you choose a program that's right for you. You also can ask for advice on how to exercise safely. This is important if you have health or physical challenges, or pain with daily tasks.
Tell your healthcare professional about your past efforts to lose weight. Be open about diets that interest you. Your healthcare professional might be able to connect you with weight-loss support groups or refer you to a registered dietitian.
