	Low Calorie Diets (LCD) are dietary programs that restrict calorie intake to promote weight loss. This type of diet typically involves reducing daily calorie intake to between 1200 and 1500 calories, depending on an individual's age, gender, weight, and activity level.

	The primary goal of an LCD is to create a calorie deficit, which means that the number of calories consumed is less than the number of calories burned through daily activities and exercise. This calorie deficit forces the body to turn to stored fat for energy, leading to weight loss.

	~~[[File:Confused.jpeg\|Confused about weight loss choices? W8MD can help\|thumb]]~~
	~~Weight Loss: The primary benefit of an LCD is weight loss. By restricting calorie intake, an individual can create a calorie deficit, which leads to weight loss.~~

	Improved Health: Weight loss can also improve overall health, particularly for individuals who are overweight or obese. Weight loss has been linked to improvements in conditions such as [[high blood pressure]], [[high cholesterol]], and [[type 2 diabetes]].

	~~[[File:Weight-loss-success-stories.jpeg\|Success stories\|thumb]]~~
	~~Increased Energy: As an individual loses weight, they may also experience an increase in energy levels. This is because the body is no longer carrying around extra weight, which can be tiring.~~

	Improved Mood: Weight loss has been linked to improved mood and self-esteem. This is likely due to the positive changes that occur in the body as a result of weight loss, such as improved health and increased energy levels.

	~~== How to Follow a Low Calorie Diet ==~~
	~~[[File:Three-things-wrong-with-our-diet.jpeg\|thumb]]~~
	Calculate Calorie Needs: The first step in following an LCD is to determine the number of calories needed to maintain a healthy weight. This can be done using an online calorie calculator or by working with a healthcare provider.

	Plan Meals: Once the number of daily calories needed has been determined, it is important to plan meals and snacks that fit within this calorie limit. It is also important to ensure that meals and snacks are balanced, providing a good source of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats.

	Keep Track of Food Intake: Keeping track of food intake can help ensure that an individual stays within their daily calorie limit. This can be done using a food diary, a smartphone app, or by working with a [[dietitian]] or [[nutritionist]].

	Increase Physical Activity: Physical activity is an important part of any weight loss program, as it helps to create a calorie deficit and improve overall health. An individual should aim to get at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity most days of the week.

	~~== Risks of Low Calorie Diets ==~~

	~~While LCDs can be an effective way to lose weight, they can also be associated with certain risks, particularly if followed for an extended period of time. These risks include:~~

	~~Nutrient Deficiencies: LCDs can be low in certain essential nutrients, such as iron, calcium, and vitamins B and D.~~

	Muscle Loss: Rapid weight loss, particularly from a low calorie diet, can result in the loss of muscle mass. This can be concerning, as muscle is an important part of overall health and helps to maintain a healthy metabolism.

	~~Gallstones: Rapid weight loss has been linked to an increased risk of developing [[gallstones]].~~

	~~== Diets==~~

	Low Calorie Diets can be an effective way to lose weight, but it is important to follow them under the supervision of a healthcare provider. At [[W8MD Weight Loss, Sleep, and Medspa]], our weight loss experts use LCDs as part of a comprehensive weight loss program that includes regular physical activity and healthy eating habits. If you are considering an

	Diet pills, also known as weight loss drugs, are medications that are designed to help individuals lose weight. These drugs can be prescription or over-the-counter and work by suppressing appetite, increasing metabolism, or blocking the absorption of fat or carbohydrates.

	~~== Types of Diet Pills ==~~
	# ~~Appetite Suppressants: Appetite suppressants work by reducing hunger and food cravings. Common ingredients in appetite suppressants include phentermine and sibutramine.~~
	~~# Fat Absorption Inhibitors: Fat absorption inhibitors, such as orlistat, prevent the body from absorbing dietary fat.~~
	~~# Stimulants: Stimulants, such as caffeine, increase metabolism and energy levels, which can lead to weight loss.~~
	~~# Combination Drugs: Some diet pills combine multiple weight loss mechanisms, such as appetite suppression and fat absorption inhibition.~~
	~~# Weight loss injections: GLP-1 analogues such as [[Liraglutide]], [{Semaglutide]] and [[Tirzepatide]]~~
	~~List of FDA approved weight loss drugs:~~
	* [[Phentermine]] - one of the most commonly used
	* [[Phentertmin-topiramate]] - most popular and one of the most effetive, brand name (Qsymia)
	* [[Contrave]] (Bupropion Naltrexone) - relatively new
	* [[Orlistat]] (Xenical, Alli)
	* [[Diethylpropion]]
	~~==Weight loss injections==~~
	* [[Liraglutide]] ([[Saxenda-weight-loss\|Saxenda]])
	* [[Setmelanotide]] (Imcivree)
	* [[Tirzepatide]] ([[~~Mounjaro]])~~
	* [[Semaglutide]] ([[Wegovy]])

	~~==Natural weight loss prescriptions==~~
	* [[Plenity]] - a hydrogel made out of cellulose and citric acid that expands in the stomach and makes you feel full. Since it does not get absorbed, there are no systemic side effects.
