Being overweight is a major risk factor for chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, sleep apnoea, osteoarthritis and many more. In addition, weight gain often causes self-esteem and body image issues in women.
The BMI system gives an indication of whether an individual is in the ideal range, overweight, obese, or morbidly obese.
Regular exercise with good dietary intake is key, but nevertheless, losing weight and maintaining weight loss is often very difficult. The first step to achieving a healthy weight is to have a discussion with your doctor and set realistic and sustainable targets.
For some, physician prescribed intervention in the form of oral tablets or injections may be needed in combination with lifestyle modification. These help with weight management through various methods; some work by regulating appetite, others make it harder for our body to absorb fat from the foods we consume.
At our Women’s Clinic, we offer these treatment options in conjunction with exercise and dietary guidance. Through a tailored weight loss program that takes into account your goals and lifestyle, this allows you to lose weight safely and avoid the need for surgical intervention.
