What's the Secret to Lasting Weight Loss?

Losing weight is never easy. But if you really buckle down, you can move the needle on the scale, at least temporarily. The trick is keeping that weight off. The things people try in order to drop pounds before, say, a beach vacation often aren’t sustainable for daily life.

If you’ve struggled with lasting weight loss, you’re certainly not alone. You don’t need to navigate your weight loss journey alone, either.

Here at Legacy Pain and Regenerative Medicine in Plano and Addison, Texas, Dr. Trace Alexander and our team specialize in weight loss. When you visit us for this kind of support, we come alongside you. We take the time to understand your weight loss journey so far. Based on what has and hasn’t worked, plus other factors that are unique to you, Dr. Alexander tailors a plan designed to help you with weight loss that lasts. 

Working with us means approaching dropping pounds a little differently. Here are a few ingredients that go into our secret sauce. 

Targeting potential obstacles

If you’ve tried to lose weight and keep it off, but it hasn’t stuck, something in your body could be getting in your way. A wide range of health issues — from persistent stress to an underactive thyroid — can interfere with weight loss. 

Here at our office, Dr. Alexander starts your personalized weight loss program with a physical exam and testing. This allows him to identify any conditions, like hormonal imbalances, that might be slowing your progress. 

Then, he offers treatment to resolve whatever’s at play. With that under better control, you can move forward more easily. 

Additional support systems

Sometimes, the body needs some extra help to kickstart weight loss and to sustain those results. When necessary, Dr. Alexander tailors a treatment plan based on your system’s unique needs. That might include:

• Nutraceuticals
• Homeopathic remedies
• Prescription medications

The added support can help you realize your weight loss goals — and stay at that number on the scale. 

Regular follow-ups

Losing weight is challenging to do alone. Maintaining results is even more so. 

That’s why Dr. Alexander and our team offer weekly and monthly check-ins. By tracking your progress consistently, we help you stay motivated and on track. 

As these regular check-ins become part of your routine, it helps you build consistency in your lifestyle changes. Many people find that this consistent accountability makes it easier to build new habits around food and exercise. 

A plan you can stick with

The real secret to lasting weight loss is sustainability. If you’re eating food you hate and doing exercise you dread, you’re not going to stick with it.

That’s why Dr. Alexander and our team come alongside you to find what truly works for you. We ask you about your lifestyle, your preferences, and what’s worked for you in the past. Building on that, we help you create a plan that’s not just short term. Instead, we develop a new way for you to live that helps you lose weight and keep it off. 

As an expert in nutrition, Dr. Alexander has extensive experience working with people to find healthy food they enjoy. Finding fruit you really like can give you a healthy snack to substitute for another sweet treat, for example. He’s here to help you explore the wide world of food to find a new way of eating that you actually like.
