Going at weight loss alone is like independent study. Yes, it can be done, but it’s much easier—and more enjoyable—when there’s someone standing right in front of you, providing knowledge, guidance, and feedback on your performance.

For some, the ultimate ally is a weight loss clinic. There, teams of medical doctors, psychologists, nutritionists, and fitness instructors coach you through the process, helping you select an individualized approach to weight loss and adopt healthy eating and exercise habits, and strategizing on ways to keep the weight off once you start to see results.

Unfortunately, not everybody has access to one of these comprehensive, state-of-the-art programs, which often take place at clinics located in large metropolitan areas. Plus the programs are pricey—they range in cost from several hundred to several thousand dollars per month. And fees vary widely, depending on program type, length of treatment, and whether or not there is a residential or rehabilitation component. Some health insurance providers will chip in, but don’t assume they will pick up the tab.

To give you the inside scoop on what works when it comes to taking off the weight for good, we spoke with physicians and coaches at weight loss centers across the country and rounded up 21 tips that can help you start—or finish—your weight loss journey and maintain your ideal weight.
