Start with Weight Loss Assessment
Before you proceed with your treatment, you will go through one or several weight loss evaluations:
You may be asked to fill out a weight loss assessment form covering your weight loss goals and preferences related to the treatment process.
You will be asked about allergies, medicines, and supplements you take, and the details of your weight loss history. If medications are considered, you’ll be asked whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding, because weight loss pills have contraindications.
health
Some medical ailments (thyroid disorder, kidney problems, etc.) can cause weight gain. You might be recommended to take extra tests to understand if you have physical issues related to weight fluctuations.
BMI calculation is one of the standard weight loss assessment tools. It is a body mass index that is determined based on your height and weight. Depending on the result, you will get a treatment plan or recommendations.
Whether you get weight loss pills prescribed or not, a healthy diet and proper activity level are recommended. You will be asked about your diet, routines, and habits to help the doctor develop an effective strategy for you.
Stress, insomnia, and depression may cause weight gain and should be treated along with the weight loss process. Eating disorders must be ruled out too as they require different treatments, not limited to weight loss itself.
Sudden weight loss can be a consequence of physical ailments. To identify the most probable cause, the next can be recommended:
- A complete blood count
- Thyroid panel
- Tests on kidney and liver functioning
- Tests on electrolytes
- Inflammation tests
- Blood sugar test
On the other hand, weight fluctuations can be caused by mental health problems. At MEDvidi, you can be assessed for depression, anxiety, stress, and other conditions.
Generally speaking, you can calculate your normal weight using one of the most common weight loss diagnostic tests — BMI calculation (body mass index). Normally a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is considered healthy. Nevertheless, normal weight should be determined individually, considering not just one’s height but also age, the amount of fat and muscle mass in the body, and health specifics.
For adults, BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered to indicate a normal or healthy weight. A BMI of less than 18.5 means underweight while a BMI of 25.0 to 29.9 means overweight. BMI of 30.0 and higher is in the obese range.

Weight Loss Therapy: What’s Involved?
Behavioral weight loss therapy
Intensive behavioral therapy for obesity focuses on changing irrational and unhealthy behavior patterns that lead to weight gain.
The therapy process includes:
- Setting realistic weight loss goals
- Working on thinking patterns to keep you motivated
- Evaluating emotions to avoid overeating
- Learning to conduct self-monitoring regularly
Behavioral therapy focuses on long-term results achieved step-by-step to ensure weight maintenance.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy for weight loss
CBT or cognitive-behavioral therapy can be used to manage the weight loss process.
Patients learn to:
- Better identify their thoughts and feelings
- Monitor their eating patterns and behaviors
- Practice mindfulness and determine if there are things, emotions, or experiences they associate with food, which helps to stop overeating
In addition, CBT helps to improve self-image and identify primary goals of weight loss. Sometimes, those goals are not linked to weight and can be achieved in another way.
The best weight loss therapy also takes your mental state into consideration. You may be tested for depression, anxiety, and other conditions that often accompany weight gain.
Weight Loss Prescription Medications
Sometimes, strong will and self-control are not enough. Being overweight can lead to obesity, which is a metabolic disease and therefore requires medical treatment.
Those patients who meet certain requirements can get weight loss prescriptions online* at MEDvidi.
A patient can get weight loss pills if:
- Their BMI is 30 or higher.
- Their BMI is 27 or higher, and they have health problems such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or type 2 diabetes.
You will also be told about all the pros and cons of the medication you get prescribed.
