Results
Most people can lose weight on almost any diet plan that restricts calories — at least in the short term. The goal of our weight loss program is to help you keep weight off permanently by making smarter food choices, learning how to manage setbacks and changing your lifestyle.
In general, losing weight by following a healthy, nutritious diet — can reduce your risk of weight-related health problems, such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and sleep apnea.
If you already have any of these conditions, they may be improved dramatically if you lose weight, regardless of the diet plan you follow. In addition, the healthy habits and kinds of foods recommended — including lots of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, beans, fish and healthy fats — can further reduce your risk of certain health conditions.
Our weight loss program is meant to be positive, practical, sustainable and enjoyable, so you can enjoy a happier, healthier life over the long term.
Risks
The Seeley Creek Healthcare weight loss program is generally safe for most adults. It does encourage unlimited amounts of vegetables and fruits. The risks will be if you are adding medications to aid in your weight loss journey.
For most people, eating lots of fruits and vegetables is a good thing — these foods provide your body with important nutrients and fiber. However, if you aren't used to having fiber in your diet, you may experience minor, temporary changes in digestion, such as intestinal gas, as your body adjusts to this new way of eating.
Also, the natural sugar in fruit does affect your carbohydrate intake — especially if you eat a lot of fruit. This may temporarily raise your blood sugar or certain blood fats. However, this effect is lessened if you are losing weight.
