Preguntas frecuentes

What is considered overweight?


Doctors rely on a measure of body size called a body mass index (BMI). This index shows whether your weight is inside or outside what doctors consider to be a healthy weight. 


BMI calculates the percentage of body fat based on your:

  • Weight
  • Height
  • Gender

According to the BMI index, overweight is a BMI between 25 and 29, and obesity is a BMI above 30. 


If your BMI is in the overweight or obese range, you can count on Tacoma Urgent Care and Wellness Center for a comprehensive weight loss plan to help you achieve a healthy weight under the guidance of a board-certified physician.


Weight loss is challenging — why?


Losing weight — and maintaining a healthy weight — aren’t as easy as burning more calories than the calories you consume every day. 


Both external and internal factors can stand in the way of your weight loss efforts, no matter how hard you try. Some factors are in your power to change, but others, like genetics, are not.


Can weight loss improve my health?


Carrying extra weight over time can increase the likelihood of developing chronic and serious health issues. Being overweight may heighten your risk for:

  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Heart disease
  • High blood pressure
  • High cholesterol
  • Certain cancers
  • Sleep apnea
  • Osteoarthritis

Struggling with excess weight can also affect your self-confidence and your overall well-being, particularly when you're not achieving your weight loss goals despite your best efforts.
