MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS
If you want to lose weight, finding the motivation and the right information to form your own plan can be daunting and difficult. With medical weight-loss plans designed by Suman Manchireddy, MD, FACP, FHM, and the team at Reliant MD Group in Leesburg, Virginia, you can be certain that you’re on the right track to tangible results.
Medical weight loss is a science-based approach to losing weight. During medical weight loss, you work alongside a trained physician to identify the areas of your health that need work in order to reduce the amount of fat on your body.
If you’re overweight or obese and have tried countless diet plans, supplements, and other strategies, medical weight loss can help you get back on track toward meeting your goals.
Your medical weight-loss plan at Reliant MD Group starts with a consultation where you and your provider evaluate your current health and make specific, achievable goals.
Losing weight isn’t beneficial for your health if you’re underweight or already at the low end of a healthy weight, so it’s important to find out your body fat percentage and body mass index (BMI) before you start a medical weight-loss program.
If your provider at Reliant MD Group decides that losing weight would make you healthier, you can proceed with your personalized program. Losing weight can help treat or lower your risk of getting these conditions and complications:
- Diabetes
- Hypertension
- High cholesterol
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Joint pain
- Back pain
- Sleep apnea
Losing weight doesn’t just benefit your physical health. It can also help you lead a more fulfilling life. You might experience a boost in self-esteem and feel more energized or motivated to go out and have fun after losing weight.
Your provider develops your medical weight-loss plan with multiple easy-to-follow strategies to keep you motivated. They design your weight-loss plan just for you and monitor you regularly as you follow it. Your plan might include:

Medications
