WEIGHT LOSS
TREATMENT By Kieron Cooney COSMEDICA CLINICS
“The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don’t want, drink what you don’t like, and do what you’d rather not.” Mark Twain
With so much more awareness and understanding of how to live more healthily, it is pertinent to reflect on Mark Twain’s observation, although nowadays many of us have embraced healthy options with greater wellbeing outcomes.
Obesity, however, is sadly on the increase. The negative health impact of obesity is enormous, and includes increased cancer risks, diabetes and heart disease. There are so many healthy diet options now to choose from. Many lead to impressive weight loss, especially if combined with a healthy lifestyle including not smoking, regular exercise and limited alcohol.
It is one thing knowing about these lifestyle changes, but sometimes a world apart from maintaining them, especially weight loss diets. The anti-motivation quote from Twain comes to mind: “Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow!”
Seize the day today Cosmedica Clinic’s medical team now presents a new service for the Isle of Wight to help induce weight loss in obese people. The treatments are approved for use by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) based on evidence of safety and effectiveness.
The prescription-only medications used to help facilitate weight loss may be taken by mouth or by injection and are licensed for use as an adjunct to a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity, in defined groups only, based on clinical obesity with or without medical co-existing conditions.
Who might be suitable for medication for weight loss? If you have a current body mass index (BMI) over 30 (obese) or BMI 27-29 together in the presence of at least one weight-related medical condition such as: Pre-diabetes; Type 2 diabetes mellitus; High blood pressure; High cholesterol; Sleep apnoea,
Medical weight loss treatment alongside a reduced calorie diet and physical activity can lead to significant weight loss within 4 weeks of treatment, (though results vary).
So are you on a diet and managing extra physical activities to help weight loss? Is your BMI over 27? Are you motivated but feel you need more help to achieve your goal?
