Introduction
Obesity as a health issue has been on an alarming rise recently. Around the world, more than 1.9 billion adults are overweight, with 650 million obese. In India, around 25% of the population is overweight, and is expected to increase by 40% by 2040.
If you have been affected by excessive weight gain, we understand that your physical and emotional health gets tremendously affected. Managing your health today will help you avoid consequences like high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, cardiac arrests, and other health ailments.
The prevalent problem: Weight Rebound
Are you tired of following strict diet regimes? Do you feel like giving up on an intensive workout session? Does weight gain affect your mental health? Well, it’s not you. It’s biology! Weight loss can become taxing when your plan does not suit your physical requirements. In the long term, such weight loss plans can cause weight rebounds. This is mainly due to the lack of science-backed weight loss solutions. Most weight loss programs focus on a faster pace of losing weight rather than a sustainable way. ElevateNow’s weight loss program offers weight sustenance considering your body requirements.
What is the body’s metabolic set point, and how does Elevate Now’s weight loss program reset it?
Weight rebounds happen because your body has a metabolic set point that compels the brain to maintain a standard weight and body fat range subconsciously. This means that no matter how much you want to weigh, the brain has a certain weight and body fat level that it works to maintain within the set point range.
This means that you don’t control your body fat consciously. Instead, your brain manages it like your breathing and heart rate. It receives signals from your body fat, muscles, pancreas, liver, GI tract, and sensory organs through hormones like norepinephrine, glucagon, somatostatin, pancreatic polypeptide, and glutamate. This controls your appetite, digestion, energy balance, and metabolism.
Hence, you can lose weight temporarily by following standard weight loss programs that call for drastic changes in lifestyle, food, and exercise. However, the brain assumes it to be a survival issue, and begins to signal the body to increase calorie intake and slow down calorie burn to restore the lost fat. This makes you feel hungry more often and eat more.
The body weight is unsettled, resulting from which your metabolic set point tries to push back to its preferred weight range. Hence, even after losing some weight, you tend to regain it after some time. So, if you have doubted your willpower, it’s metabolism, not you!
Elevate Now’s medical weight loss program uses the latest scientific knowledge in obesity medicine that works on changing and controlling your metabolic set point. This helps bring about a complete metabolic reset of your body which helps you lose weight without gaining it back. Our health coaches and expert doctors work with you to bring changes suitable to your body and aid weight loss.

Elevate Now’s weight-loss program does not require any surgical procedures. The medical weight loss program aims to achieve long-term results by modifying your diet, exercise, sleep, and emotional health to fit your lifestyle.

Not only this, our program helps with weight loss through hormone balancing. In case of high or low hormone levels, our obesity specialist doctors help you with your existing health issues.
What do Elevate Now’s Obesity Specialist Doctors do
● Check stress levels: At high-stress levels, your body stores fat, making it difficult to lose weight. Stress causes an unhealthy amount of cortisol to be released, which leads to weight gain. Cortisol makes you crave sweets more, and pushing you to eat high in sugar foods contributes significantly to weight gain. In this, medical weight loss programs work to reduce high cortisol levels. You can bring high cortisol levels back into balance with exercise, a balanced diet, stress management, and medicines.
● Check thyroid issues: Before starting a weight loss plan, it’s essential to determine whether a person has thyroid. The thyroid regulates metabolism. Hypothyroidism, or an inactive thyroid, can lead to weight gain, which makes it challenging to reduce weight. In this, our weight loss specialists address this underlying issue to help you reach your weight goals.
● Check Insulin levels: If insulin levels are out of balance, losing weight is challenging because insulin stores fat. If insulin contributes to weight gain, it is worked upon through suitable medications prescribed by our obesity specialist doctors.

How are these medicines beneficial?
These medicines are helpful with a lifestyle therapy regimen involving a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Some medications help reduce risks for health issues like diabetes by improving blood glucose control and enabling the insulin produced by your pancreas to work more efficiently. The benefits of these medications on weight loss are further potentiated when combined with reduced portion sizes and a low-energy diet, healthy food choices, and increased activity.
But why don’t usual diets work?
To lose weight faster, people often adopt crash diets. However, it is improbable that these crash diets will cause long-term weight loss. They can cause weight gain over the long term. Sometimes it becomes difficult to keep up with this kind of diet. Since the variety of food consumed during crash diets becomes restricted, you might miss essential nutrients.
Cutting out vital nutrients like carbohydrates and fats might lead to an unbalanced dietary intake. When a minimum calorie intake is lower than 2000 calories for a prolonged period, it can harm health. Additionally, consuming carbohydrates below 130 grams for an extended period can cause a lack of energy, and you might start to crave high-fat and high-sugar foods. As a result, you eat more of those foods and calories than you need, resulting in weight gain.
When you sign up with Elevate Now’s weight loss program, we design a plan that includes diets and workout routines that work for you. Hence, you end up eating a healthy and balanced meal and losing weight in the long term.
Elevate Now’s online program helps you achieve your weight goals without any crash diets through a simple procedure.
