Information for Physicians
Being trim is more than fashionable. It's life insurance. Although maintaining
an appropriate weight can't guarantee you perfect health, it is good protection
against heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, gall bladder disease
and vascular disease. Such disorders are aggravated by obesity and can be
minimized or even reversed with proper diet and weight control.

If you are obese, your ideal weight should be reached by means of a
documented, medically proven program. You can endanger your health with fad
diets and drugs that are sometimes more dangerous than the problem they seek to
correct. In addition, part of any rational diet should encompass behavior
modification. Otherwise, you are likely to regain the lost weight as soon as you
resume your previous eating habits.
Established in 1996, the UAMS Program for Weight Loss and Metabolic Control, a clinical component of the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism is a proven, medically supervised,
out-patient program, which is helping many Arkansans lose weight. The goal of
this program is to help you lose weight, improve your health, maintain your
weight loss, and enhance your chances for longevity.
