Weight Management

 
Overview

Embarking on a journey to shed excess weight is a common aspiration for many individuals. Your healthcare provider may have advised you on the importance of weight management, especially if excess weight poses risks to your health, such as increasing the likelihood of conditions like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Obesity, characterized by carrying a significant amount of extra weight and body fat, is a prevalent concern affecting approximately a quarter of adults today.

 
Assessing Your Body Mass Index (BMI)
 

If you’re uncertain about whether your weight is within healthy limits, assessing your Body Mass Index (BMI) can provide valuable insights. BMI is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by the square of your height in meters. This metric offers a gauge to determine if your weight is in a healthy range. Utilise resources like the NHS BMI calculator to gauge your BMI and assess your weight status accurately.

Causes of Obesity

While certain health conditions can contribute to weight gain, lifestyle factors play a significant role in obesity. Excessive calorie intake coupled with sedentary habits, such as prolonged sitting and consumption of calorie-dense processed foods, are common contributors to obesity.

Effective Strategies for Weight Loss

Successful weight management involves creating a calorie deficit through balanced nutrition and regular physical activity. Adopting a nutritious diet and incorporating exercise into your routine are essential for a sustainable weight loss journey.

If despite adhering to a healthy diet and consistent exercise, you find weight loss challenging, there are several prescription weight loss medications available to assist you in your journey
