Most medical conditions are improved by losing weight, and the videos highlight the advantages of seeing a physician to lose weight.

Tarrytown, NY (PRWEB) August 25, 2010

The Center for Medical Weight Loss, the leading national network of physicians specializing in weight loss and maintenance, has released 11 new videos to help answer frequently asked questions about weight loss. According to the latest figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 68% of Americans are either overweight or obese. Obesity and overweight increase the risk of developing more serious health conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer.

All of the medical weight loss videos feature the expert guidance of Dr. Michael Kaplan, founder and Chief Medical Officer of The Center for Medical Weight Loss. He discusses important weight loss topics from a medical weight loss perspective, such as why diets high in protein will help with weight loss, how losing weight can benefit people with diabetes, and why body fat percentage is so important to control.

"I think the videos will be really helpful in teaching patients how medical weight loss can help them," Dr. Kaplan said. "Most medical conditions are improved by losing weight, and the videos highlight the advantages of seeing a physician to lose weight."

The videos, which can be viewed on The Center for Medical Weight Loss YouTube channel, cover the following medical weight loss topics:
