Here are your main options beyond traditional dieting:
Medical/Clinical Options
- WeightWatchers Clinic or Noom Med - combine behavioral coaching with medical support
- GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic/Wegovy or Mounjaro/Zepbound) - prescription appetite suppressants with strong clinical results. Talk to your doctor or use services like Hims/Hers, Ro, or Found for online access
- Bariatric surgery - for significant weight loss, major hospital systems like Cleveland Clinic or Mayo Clinic have excellent programs
Fitness & Lifestyle
- Noom - psychology-based behavior change app, good for addressing emotional eating
- WHOOP or Garmin fitness trackers - help you understand how activity and sleep affect weight
- Peloton or iFIT (NordicTrack) - structured exercise programs at home
Structured Accountability
- Found or Calibrate - combine coaching, medication, and tracking in one program
- Personal trainer through NASM-certified coaches - personalized accountability
Key Recommendation
Since diets haven't worked, talk to your doctor first about GLP-1 medications - they've been genuinely game-changing for many people who struggled with diet alone.
