Consistency is Key

Common pitfalls include distracted eating, eating mindlessly while at work or play, and eating too quickly, not giving your body and mind the time to process consciously and to digest properly.

During my initial appointment with Dr. Aaron, she conducted blood tests to determine the most suitable medication for me. I am thankful for Dr. Aaron, as I chose to embark on this weight loss journey with her on April 6th. Today, June 1st, I had my weigh-in and have lost 20 pounds so far. The key to Dr. Aaron's program is consistency in drinking water, exercising at least 3 to 4 times per week, and consuming 800 calories daily. I truly appreciate Dr. Aaron and am grateful for her guidance.

Follow the Plan

No two human bodies are alike. What is proper diet and exercise for one person is not necessarily so for another. Dr. Aron's Weight Loss Program addresses the specific needs for each individual patient.

I’ve tried Weight Watchers. I’ve done the Keto diet and just about every diet out there and I couldn’t lose the amount of weight I needed to lose. I decided to go to Dr Aron and it’s truly a blessing for me. I saw Dr Aron on May 3rd 2024 and my weight was 246 lbs as of today August 7th 2024 I’ve lost 32 lbs. All you have to do is follow the Plan she gives to you. 3 meals a day. 800 hundred calories per day. Exercise 3-4 times a week. Stick to it and you’ll see the scale move every week. I need to lose another 34lbs but I’m confident that with Dr Aron guidance and me doing my part that I will reach my goal. I highly recommend that you try Dr Aron program if you’re struggling to lose weight.

Scale it down

Beat the bulge

If the number on the scale isn’t budging as much as you’d like, there’s still some good news. Research shows that even modest weight loss can have a long-term positive effect on your overall health.

Research has shown that even a 5 to 10 percent loss of the initial body weight can greatly reduce health risks and improve general well being

Worth the weight (loss)

By losing 20 pounds or 10 percent of a 200-pound person's body weight, overweight and obese individuals can reduce their risk of Type 2 diabetes by as much as 58 percent. It can also benefit sleep apnea, hypertension, quality of life and mobility as people age. Additionally, the health benefits from losing the weight can last up to about 10 years, even if the individual gains the weight back, according to the behavioral study on 3,000 participants who changed their eating habits by tracking everything they ate and keeping unhealthy foods out of the pantry.

Researchers will also examine whether these healthy habits will decrease the risk of heart attacks and heart disease, and ultimately, whether it can prolong your life.

Make it Happen

The time to start losing weight is now. It’s never too late to become a healthier you. Call Dr Oksana Aron Medical Weight Loss Center at 718-491-5525 or visit WeightLossNYC.com to schedule your appointment.

What weight loss supplements are safe?

You want to lose weight—and fast. You’re willing to try almost any weight loss product promising a miracle, but will it work? And more importantly, is it safe?

FTC cracks down on false weight loss claims

Looks like the Federal Trade Commission is cracking down on companies hawking weight loss products with bogus claims and here’s what’s happening right now.

Products that the FTC says are making false claims include Sensa and a “slimming” body cream by L’Occitane. The FTC is also working to get consumers their money back for purchasing such products and is going to urge the companies to stop the false advertising.

Some common false claims:

• Eat whatever you want and still lose weight
• No diet or exercise required
• Just take this pill and you’ll lose weight

There’s no miracle

Jessica Rich, Director of the FTC Bureau of Consumer Protection:

“The chances of being successful at substantial weight loss just by sprinkling something on your food, rubbing creams on your body or just using a supplement, well, they’re slim to none”

There are no miracle weight loss pills, no matter what those companies try to get you to believe. Buying these supplements from unscrupulous sources online without a doctor’s supervision is dangerous. Not only do they not work—they could cause you serious harm or even death.

How to lose weight safely

The only legal (and legitimate) weight loss medications are those approved by the FDA, and are only available by prescription. These include Phentermine, Phendimetrizine, Qsymia, and more:

FDA Approved Medical Weight Loss pills

Medical Weight Loss

If you are overweight:, your best option is to work with a medical weight loss doctor who can advise you safely on what your body needs in order to lose weight.

Start losing weight today

Looking to lose weight the fast and easy way? Well, aren’t we all… In addition to a healthy diet and exercise plan, try these weight loss tips and tricks to shed some pounds and stay on track with your weight loss goals. Better yet, these helpful hints require almost no effort at all.

Six Simple Steps

1. Rest up.

   Did you know? People who only get 5 hours of sleep can gain as many as 2 lbs. in 5 days. They also consume 6% more calories, according to a new study from the University of Colorado, Boulder. So be sure to catch some Z’s in addition to eating right throughout the day.

2. Start with a hearty breakfast.

   Curb those carbs in the morning and opt for a healthy egg-and-veggie scramble or omelette instead. Eating eggs in the morning instead of a bagel equals 264 less calories consumed the rest of the day, says a Saint Louis University study. Its protein can also help you stay fuller.

3. Don’t hold off on eating lunch.

   Some people let their hectic schedule dictate when they eat lunch, but that can affect your weight loss goals. Eating lunch late (after 3 p.m.) can cause you to lose less weight and have a lower insulin sensitivity. Even when eating healthfully, waiting too long to eat can undermine your diet’s effectiveness.

4. Think small.

   People eat 35% less when eating from a small, individual plate rather than serving themselves from a large platter in the middle of the table.

5. Remember what you ate.

   Thinking back on what you ate for your last meal and how satisfied you were can help you consume 30% less calories at snack time.

6. Ditch TV watching while eating.

   People who eat while watching TV consume 288 more calories per meal on average compared to those who don’t. This is an easy, no-brainer way to eat less.

Want to lose 10 to 20 pounds in a month, possibly more?

Lift your own bodyweight

Perhaps pushups haven’t happened for you since high school gym class, so how about pull-ups?

Developing body strength doesn’t have to be hard — ease into developing your strength with some simple progressions. No need to rush through the series, focus on proper posture and slow steady movement to maximize control and strenght building.

Keep things easy for yourself as getting hurt is never the goal. Find the method that works best for you here and follow it for several weeks until it is no longer a challenge. Of course you can mix things up if want to make your own routine.

Start simple

1. Wall pullup Standing feet flat, with your body in a straight line, hold a vertical handrail you can perform a sideways pullup! Try for 50, and when you can master 3 sets you can advance to next level (if you wish):
2. Chest-height pullup Moving from vertical to an angle gives you more weight resistance for your arms. Find a sturdy handrail about chest height. Pivoting on your heels, go for 30 angled pullups with the bar. When 3 sets are easy you can advance:
3. Hip-height pullup Finding a lower bar around hip height gives you a steeper angle to work against thus more body weight to lift, though still not full weight. Ideally work with something strong enough to support your full weight (video shows some dubious examples) as chest and hip points are just height guidelines. You can work with whatever angle you have and are comfortable working with. For hip height, aim for sets of 25, with 3 full sets as your final goal.
4. Jackknife pullups Finally moving now from angle to vertical, analagous to kneeling pushups, you can now work from what resembles a seating angle (though not sitting!) and lifting your weight up. Optionally, can place feet on a chair instead of floor. Note as with kneeled pushups you are still distributing weight via a partial leg angle on the ground. Pivoting on your heels, your body starts bent and then straightens out (resembling chest-height position above), hence the name. Target is again sets of 25, with mastery of 3 to advance.
   
   Upgrades: Can lift one leg at a time during pullup to increase proportion of body weight. See if you can lift your full weight from this angled position.

Full time

You did it! Now that you are here, you now can try just doing one set of three regular pullups, to develop core and not overdo it.

Can try overhand or underhand grips, and other variations to make for a more versatile workout, or rotating arms and shoulders too to work different muscle groups.

Physical Activity is important

No matter your health and physical abilities, you can gain a lot by staying active. Physical activity can help you maintain your independence and continue to do everything you want to do. — National Institutes of Health (NIH)

Coming up

We have long advocated daily activity, and warned of the dangers of a sedentary lifestyle, and will always continue to offer motivation — In the coming weeks we will be launching a series of fitness blog posts to help you get started where you may have stumbled before.

Why Is Physical Activity Important?

Exercise and physical activity are good for just about everyone, including older adults. No matter your health and physical abilities, you can gain a lot by staying active. [S]tudies show that taking it easy is risky. Often, inactivity is more to blame than age when older people lose the ability to do things on their own. Lack of physical activity also can lead to more visits to the doctor, more hospitalizations, and more use of medicines for a variety of illnesses. — NIH

Choose activities you enjoy

Fitness helps with emotional being too; find activities you enjoy, to make fitness fun and not a chore. Choose activities you like and want to do, not what you feel you have to do.

Some exercise ideas to help you lift your mood:

• Walking and Bicycling Endurance activities increase your breathing, get your heart pumping, and boost chemicals in your body that may improve mood.
• Yoga is a mind and body practice combining physical postures, breathing exercises, and relaxation; or Tai Chi moving meditation involves shifting the body slowly, gently, and precisely, while breathing deeply.

Choose activities you enjoy:

As the adage goes, the best fitness routine is the one you do !

How about:

• Dancing
• Gardening
• Tennis
• Kicking a soccer ball with your kids

I have had more success than I have ever seen…

“After trying numerous programs and diets and seeing little success, I was ready to try something that really worked. I began to do some research on weight loss centers and came across Dr. Aron. Though I normally don’t believe what I read, her reviews and her website really caught my eye so I decided to give it a shot and I’m glad I did. With Dr. Aron’s help, I have had more success than I have ever seen, the results have been great thus far and I feel like a new person. Not only is the weight coming off but her program has made me become more aware of what I should and shouldn’t be eating, and what to look for not look for when purchasing food; I’ve become more health-conscious and am passing it along to others in the process. Her practice is great, both her and her staff are a pleasure and are genuinely interested in helping you reach your goals and deal with whatever struggles you may be encountering on your weight loss journey.”

A new you in 7 minutes?

Lose the Wait. Lose the Weight.

What’s your excuse for not working out? Whatever the reason, you're not alone. Busy schedules, and juggling work and family life typically leave the average American adult with little time or energy to hit the gym, but there is a solution for you.

Whether you’re trying to drop some pounds or stay in shape, you need regular exercise. But when you’re short on time, what do you do? You get creative. That’s why this 7-minute workout routine is perfect for someone like you who has the desire but not the time. Check it out.

Get the most out of your short workout

Turns out just 7 minutes of high-intensity interval training can make a difference. By doing just 8 to 12 repetitions of resistance training for each muscle group at 40% to 80% intensity for two or three non-consecutive days a week, busy people can still put in a good workout that promotes weight loss, according to the American College of Sports Medicine. Two to four sets of each muscle group with two to three minutes rest in between each exercise are recommended.

Try exercises such as side planks, abdominal crunches, squats, lunges, push-ups and jumping jacks for 30 seconds each with a 10-second rest period in between. Do them for a total of 7 minutes and you're on your way to a fitter, healthier body.

Now there are no excuses! This is not only a great alternative to 30 or 60 minutes or longer of exercise, but you’ve got an effective way to lose body weight and fat.

Lose Weight Fast

You can lose as many as 10 to 20 pounds each month—or more! Schedule your first consultation with Dr. Aron today so you can learn how. Call us today at 718-491-5525.

Know your Omega-3s and 6s

Have you discovered the fat-melting qualities of fish oil yet in your quest to lose weight? If not, don't just give it a try — make it a mainstay in your diet.

Also known as Omega fatty acids, fish oil can help your health in many different ways and should be an important cornerstone of your everyday diet. Read on for more information on how you can benefit from fish oil.

Burn fat faster

You need fat in order to lose weight — the good, healthy kind. This includes Omega-3 and Omega-6. We need these fats to promote our health and facilitate weight loss, but most Americans do not get enough.

Sometimes a supplement is necessary to make sure you're getting a balance of these healthy fats. Results from a daily dose of Omega-3 can be seen in anywhere from a few days to several weeks, but it's no quick fix. It's important to take it every day on a long-term basis for the best results and overall health.

Health benefits

Fish oil can improve so many aspects of your health, there are almost too many to count. Some of these include your heart, vision, joints, immune system, digestive system, pancreas, blood pressure, cholesterol, hormones, mood, energy and more.

Additional benefits of omega supplements:

• Moderate amounts of Omega-3 fatty acids in your diet have shown to reduce your risk of a first heart attack by 30%.
• Symptoms in such inflammatory diseases as rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease are also decreased.
• Omega-3 fatty acids also prevent artery-hardening and heart disease-causing plaques

What is a Weight Loss Doctor? (Obesity Medicine Physician)

“A bariatrician is a licensed physician who has received special training in obesity medicine—the medical treatment of obesity and its associated conditions. Bariatricians address the obese patient with a comprehensive program of proper diet and nutrition, appropriate exercise, lifestyle changes and, when indicated, the use of prescription anti-obesity medications and other appropriate medications.”

Medical Diet Programs

Bariatric (Weight Loss) Doctors have received an extensive continuing medical education program consisting of specialized knowledge, tools and techniques to enable them to design and modify specialized obesity treatment programs adapted to the various needs of individual patients.

• Dietary Modification
• Exercise Prescription
• Behavior Modification
• Medication (when appropriate)

Assess Total Health and Obesity Conditions

A key distinction of physician-supervised medical weight loss is the addressing of overall health, since weight gain may be allied with conditions such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension and other maladies. A bariatric physician is trained to diagnose and manage obesity-related conditions, which otherwise could remain undetected and untreated by a non-medical weight-loss program.

Lose Weight Fast

Dr. +Oksana Aron is an internal physician and bariatrician in Brooklyn, New York. Her WeightLossNYC (+Dr Aron Medical Weight Loss Center) practice treats obese and overweight patients in the greater New York area.

Is HCG a miracle cure?

Safety and efficacy of HCG for weight loss vs other medical weight loss treatments available with prescription or bariatric physician supervision.

You’ve heard of doctors treating obese patients with Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) for weight loss because it's been touted as a rapid weight loss medication, but does it work the way it's supposed to? If you're looking for a quick fix in losing weight with HCG injections, you’ll want to read on for more information.

Does HCG cause weight loss?

First used in a 1954 study of patients who were injected with HCG in conjunction with a 500-calorie-a-day diet, it was believed to produce rapid weight and fat loss, reduce hunger, and result in no weakness. Once popular in the 1970s, later challenges to the study, however, found that HCG was ineffectual in weight loss and that the weight loss during the study was likely due to the restricted-calorie diet alone.

Is HCG Safe and Effective for Weight Loss?

Today, HCG is available in tablet form or by injection, and is surging in popularity again, but scientific evidence doesn't support the claim that HCG can alter fat distribution or reduce hunger. Not only that, but HCG and the lower intake of protein in the diet that accompanies HCG for weight loss are not considered safe and are not recommended, according to the American Society of Bariatric Physicians.

Are You Eating to Satisfy Non-Hunger Needs?

“Building and keeping a structure to your meals maintains a signal to yourself to relax and eat normally, rather than snatch and grab snacking when under duress. [Furthermore] providing a healthy outlet for socialization helps you manage daily stress and foster stronger relationship and communication bonds.”
— Dr. Aron, Weight Loss Expert

Honest Food Needs and Fumbles

Address Your Physical Needs

• Tend to your health needs. Discuss with Dr. Aron if you have a pain or problem. Follow your treatment plan. Take your medication(s).
• Drink 6-8 glasses of water per day. You may need more on hot days, after exercise or eating salty foods, or based on medications you may be taking. Often people confuse hunger with thirst.
• Get enough sleep. It has been documented that lack of sleep makes some people eat more.
• Move your body. Human bodies are designed to move. After years of cutting back on requirements for physical exercise, the current recommendation is to exercise for a minimum of 30 minutes/day.
• Make exercise fun. If exercise isn't your thing, combine it with meeting other needs such as:
  
  • Socialization. Bike or walk with a friend. Take a class with a partner. Join a softball league. Learn a new dance.
  • Spiritual. Yoga or walking at the beach can feel spiritually satisfying.
  • Fresh air. Take a 20-30 minute walk—even in winter. Choose a sunny or less cold day, bundle up and walk. It clears your head, leaving you energized.
  • Care-taking. Take your children on a hike. Walk or run with your dog.
  • Personal Growth. Try a new sport. Take swimming or tennis lessons.

Satisfy Your Emotional Needs

• Companionship/socialization. Spend time with people you love and enjoy; connect with them often. Eliminate (or minimize if that's not possible) contact with people you feel bad or stressed around.
• Time to be alone. This may include sitting in silence for ten minutes per day.
• Spend time doing what you love. If you can't do this every day, make some time every week.
• Find constructive ways of dealing with interpersonal conflict. Take a class or read a book on what ails you. See a therapist or other healer if you need support.
• Identify your stresses and find coping mechanisms. Try new ways of coping if you still feel overwhelmed.
• Pay attention to and work on eliminating negative thought patterns. Re-program negative thoughts such as
  "I'm never as good as X"
  into
  "I'm learning _____."
