Understanding Obesity

Obesity occurs when excess weight poses a risk to your health. It develops when the energy obtained from the food you consume exceeds the energy expended through physical activity. Unfortunately, our sedentary lifestyles contribute to this growing health concern.

Determining Your Weight Status

To determine if you are overweight or obese, you can calculate your body mass index (BMI). While BMI is a useful measurement, it's important to note that it may not be definitive for individuals with high muscle mass.

To calculate your BMI, use our convenient online BMI calculator: Weight (in kilograms) ÷ Height (in meters squared) = Your BMI

Here are the BMI ranges for adults:

• 18.5 to 24.9: Healthy weight
• 25 to 29.9: Overweight
• 30 to 39.9: Obese
• 40 or more: Severely obese

Having a BMI above 30 increases the risk of developing various health conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, infertility, arthritis, and cancer. However, losing weight can significantly reduce these risks.

Effective Methods for Weight Loss

Diet: A balanced and nutritious diet is crucial for successful weight loss. Our healthcare professionals can guide you in making healthier food choices, incorporating essential nutrients, and monitoring portion sizes. By adopting healthier eating habits and limiting sugary and fatty foods, you can achieve sustainable weight loss.

Exercise: Regular physical activity is key to shedding those extra pounds and improving your overall well-being. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate activity per week. Our team can help you create an exercise plan tailored to your lifestyle and preferences. From simple activities like walking or cycling to more structured workout routines, we'll support you in finding enjoyable ways to stay active.

Weight Loss Medications

In addition to lifestyle changes, we offer effective weight loss medications that can enhance your weight loss journey:

• Xenical: Xenical works by preventing the breakdown of fat in the body. It helps you achieve weight loss by reducing the absorption of dietary fat. It's important to note that Xenical should be used alongside dietary modifications for optimal results.
• Saxenda: Saxenda is a weight loss injection that suppresses appetite and increases insulin levels. This aids in moving sugar/glucose from your bloodstream into cells, preventing it from being stored as fat. Saxenda is administered through a convenient pre-filled pen and has shown promising results in weight management.
• Orlistat: Orlistat, available in various forms, works by inhibiting the absorption of dietary fats in the body. It comes in different options, including generic Orlistat (120mg, POM), branded Xenical (120mg, POM), and Alli (60mg, P).

Our healthcare professionals will provide comprehensive guidance on the appropriate usage and potential side effects of these medications. They will work closely with you to ensure a safe and effective weight loss experience.
