Now that you have decided to lose weight, how can you find the best weight loss center?  Just as weight loss is specific for each individual, finding the right program for you is also individual.  Here are some things to consider when you are choosing the best weight loss center in NYC.

Is the program healthy and safe?

Check that the weight loss program is healthy and safe.  Will the program provide your body with enough calories to keep it functioning properly?  Does it provide balanced nutrition?  A lot of fad diets are too restrictive and as a result lack proper nutrition for your body.  A lack of nutrition can lead to a loss of lean muscle tissue and can slow your metabolism.

Is the weight loss sustainable?    

If a weight loss program promises results that seem too good to be true they probably are.  Crash diets are simply not sustainable.  They claim quick and easy weight loss but they fail to offer proper or balanced nutrition.  As a result, the weight piles back on as soon as you stop the program.  A gradual approach is a healthier way to lose weight and will be more sustainable in the long run.

Does the program include counseling?

The program that you choose should include counseling, motivation, and support.  It should teach healthy lifestyle changes that are both beneficial and sustainable.  Choose a plan that will follow up with you frequently.  Check to see that these things are included and at what cost.

Is the program flexible? 

Each person is individual and unique.  What works for Susan from work may not work for you.  The program you choose should evaluate your needs and adjust the program to fit with them.  If you reach a plateau you may need to change things up, and try something new.  You should have a program that can change with you until you reach your desired goal.

Does the program have a proven track record?

No one wants to waste their money on a program that has no hope of success.  Check the track record of the center. What is their success rate?  Has the weight loss been maintained after the program ended?

Remember all of these things and do your homework.  Lose weight sensibly and keeping it off will be much easier.
