Welcome to Park Avenue Weight
You’re not alone
Most of us are overweight at some point in our lifetime. The decision to lose weight is often difficult for many people. Changing the habits formed over a lifetime can be scary and off-putting, especially without a thorough understanding of the issue as well as a strategic plan of action. And with all the “miracle weight loss solutions” being promoted on television and in magazines, it is no wonder that people are so confused about which approach to take and what actually works. But Dr. Kane understands the struggles you face in your decision to lose weight and change your life and is there for you every step of the way, so you are not alone.
Why we gain weight
The reasons we gain weight are varied and complex. Many people gain weight or remain overweight for reasons that are emotional, hormonal, physical, social, genetic or a combination of all of these factors. While a few of these factors such as genetics, a busy work or social schedule and physical limitations can predispose people to a sedentary lifestyle and weight gain, others struggle with issues that are more emotional or psychological such as stress, fear, grief, shame and insecurity. Dr Kane understands the complex nature of eating and behavioral patterns caused by these factors and is committed to helping you set and attain your realistic weight loss goals.
And why we need to lose it
There are countless reasons to lose weight. Many young people are motivated to lose weight because Spring or Summer is coming or they are going on vacation and want to look great in their swimsuit. Many men and women are motivated to lose weight before a special event in their lives like a wedding, after having a baby or post-divorce. Some people want to trim away extra pounds in order to prevent diseases which are linked to obesity, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke and heart attack. Many seniors are eager to lose weight so that they can have more energy to lavish on their children and grandchildren. And many others are tired of feeling lethargic and sedentary and want to begin enjoying an active lifestyle again. Finally, many overweight individuals are tired of living within the vicious, repetitive and self-destructive pattern of depression, over-eating, shame and weight gain.
