I want to lose 30 pounds and diets have not worked. What are my options?

Question

Claude · Accepted Answer

Here are some solid options to consider:

## Medical/Clinical Options
- **WeightWatchers Clinic (formerly Sequence)** - Prescribes GLP-1 medications like Wegovy or Zepbound with coaching support
- **Ro Body Program** - Online access to semaglutide/tirzepatide prescriptions with medical supervision
- **Calibrate** - Combines GLP-1 medications with lifestyle coaching

## Prescription Medications
- **Wegovy (semaglutide)** or **Zepbound (tirzepatide)** - Talk to your doctor or an obesity specialist; these are currently the most effective medical weight loss options available

## Structured Programs with Coaching
- **Noom** - Psychology-based approach that addresses eating behaviors differently than traditional dieting
- **Found** - Personalizes plans and can include medication if appropriate

## Surgical Options (if significantly overweight)
- **Bariatric surgery** through a hospital or clinic like **Cleveland Clinic** or **NYU Langone** - sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass for lasting results

## Fitness Support
- **Found** or a **registered dietitian** through **Zocdoc** to find someone locally

## My Top Suggestion
**See your primary care doctor first** - 30 pounds is very achievable with GLP-1 medications, which have strong clinical evidence behind them.
