When seeking out that weight loss program there are a number of important questions the second type will want answered.
The most essential, and therefore the first question are: What are the facts about diet, exercise and weight loss? There are dozens of food diets, special exercise regimens and all manner of junk science surrounding the subject.

Most people can distinguish between those who are trying to give wise counsel and those who just want to sell something that may or may not have any value. People deserve to be paid for their services, but offering something worthwhile is fundamental.
Once find a gym or nutritionist that can offer a good guidance and moral support, people can get added benefits. Such people can help remind, when the going gets tough, of why chose to make the effort in the first place. It's difficult to adhere to a long term program when the progress is slow.

One thing that can help to take the first step towards a true lifestyle change is a clean, toxin-free body. Counseling provided by fitness and nutrition professionals can also help to stick to a nutritional program. Nutritional counselors can help unlearn bad habits and learn better ones.
There is a need to monitor the progress, and need to ask where and what are the tests and tools to do that. There is a for need food charts for measuring calories and types of nutrients. Also need a BMI calculator and other tools.
Some of those tools are as simple and inexpensive as a scale, a flexible tape measure and a mirror. Others may be a heart rate or pulse monitor, a device that measures body fat percentage and other things that often accompany a treadmill.
