Losing weight and then maintaining your weight at a healthy level is not an easy task. But thankfully there are plenty of weight loss management options that can help you reach your weight and fitness goals a lot quicker and in a less stressful manner.
They include weight management programmes with a doctor, weight loss medications, and meal replacements.Â
At Halley Body Slimming Clinic, our doctor will guide you on your weight loss journey, getting you started with practical yet achievable weight loss tactics to overcome the physical and mental hurdle of weight loss.
Weight loss is achieved when there is caloric balance where the amount of calories consumed (the food you eat) is the same as the amount of calories spent (the exercises that you do). During the weight management consultation with our doctor, he will offer weight loss guidance on how to achieve this balance. Our doctor will also prescribe the appropriate weight loss medications based on your body requirements to safely and effectively bring your weight down to a healthy level.
Once you have achieved your ideal weight, our doctor will then provide guidance on how to maintain a healthy weight.
Eating healthily and exercising regularly are the basics of an effective weight loss strategy. But weight loss is a mental exercise as much as a physical one, and we need to continually feel motivated to lose excess weight and keep the weight down.
Weight loss medications that are approved by health authorities like the US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) and Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) can be used in tandem with dieting and exercise strategies. Weight loss medications help us to lose weight rapidly. Once you have achieved rapid weight loss, you will be motivated to do what it takes to sustain your ideal weight.
Saxenda is an example of a weight loss medication that comes in an injection pen format. Saxenda is a once-daily injectable weight loss medication that is approved by the US FDA and Singapore HSA to help people who are struggling with excess body weight.
Saxenda contains the active ingredient liraglutide (GLP-1). GLP-1 is a hormone that is naturally produced in our body and plays a role in regulating appetite, food intake, and glucose metabolism.
When used as directed by doctors, Saxenda works by mimicking the effects of GLP-1 in the body. This helps to regulate appetite, reduce food cravings, and increase the feeling of fullness which can lead to a reduction in calorie intake and weight loss.
When taken as part of a comprehensive weight loss programme that includes a healthy diet and exercise, Saxenda can help to promote weight loss and take away the mental stress of having to eat less and exercise more during the first phase of weight loss.
Contrave is a prescription medication that is approved by the US FDA and Singapore HSA. It is designed to help us manage our weight and keep the excess kilos off. Contrave is a combination of two drugs, Bupropion and Naltrexone, in a timed release tablet. The medications work well together to reduce hunger and control cravings, leading to weight loss.
However, do keep in mind that it is important to eat healthily and maintain a healthy lifestyle to see optimal results.
During your weight management consultation with the doctor, we will measure and analyse your key body statistics to determine your optimal weight and craft a strategy to help you achieve your goals.
One of the strategies may be a low-calorie meal replacement like Optifast by Nestle for reducing your daily caloric intake while keeping away hunger. Optifast is pre-portioned in calorie-controlled servings while providing the recommended daily intake of vitamins and minerals. The carefully proportioned mix of proteins, carbohydrates, and fat, together with dietary fibre, keeps you from feeling hungry when dieting. When your daily caloric intake is low, your body draws energy from its own fat stores, hence resulting in weight loss.
