Safely Uncovering the Mystery of Your Weight Gain Just because you lose a couple pounds does not make your lifestyle healthy. Read on to learn how one local institute is geared toward safe weight loss.  Whether you are in denial about it or not, yo-yo dieting isn't the safest solution to your weight loss desires. Cincy Chic would love to be the first to tell you the one size fits all solution, but we're here to tell you that there's no such thing. "If someone's telling you it's a cure all, run in the other direction," says Jim LaValle, clinical pharmacist and founder of LaValle Metabolic Institute.
The LaValle Metabolic Institute takes a more individualized approach to weight loss and determining what factors affect the individual's ability to lose or maintain weight. While many people believe that the solution to lose weight is to eat less and exercise more, that's not always the case.
"It's not a mystery why you may be gaining weight and why you've had trouble getting it off," LaValle says. "There's an answer to it." Other factors like stress, nutrient deficiencies and sleep patterns can play a part in someone's inability to lose weight. Also, the frustration attached to an unsuccessful weight loss, despite eating less and exercising more, only can worsen the problem.
The true solutions for losing weight lie in a person's metabolism. Through comprehensive lab assessments, the physicians, dieticians and pharmacists at the LaValle Metabolic Institute gain an understanding of each patient's metabolism. By seeing the full metabolic picture, they can determine what problems need to be targeted and what solutions need to be implemented, LaValle says.
These solutions also take into account the lifestyle of the patient. Two patients with similar metabolic profiles might not have the same solutions to the same problems because of their different circumstances. Somebody who travels all the time needs different guidance from the direction given to someone who sits in a cubicle day in and day out.
Also, the team at the LaValle Metabolic Institute takes into account each person's commitment possibilities. "Not everyone's able to go to the gym an hour a day. Everybody has a different take on what they're willing to do," LaValle says.
The main goal for the LaValle Metabolic Institute is to create an effective lifestyle change for their patients in a safe manner. In fact, their No. 1 rule is "The safest choice first for people," LaValle says. And with those choices, patients have decreased their medication intake and risk for some diseases while they increased their energy and understanding of their body.
