Typically, medication is recommended for patients with a BMI (Body Mass Index) greater than 30 or a BMI greater than 27 along with other weight-related conditions such as high blood pressure. It's important to note that weight loss medication cannot be prescribed to pregnant or breastfeeding patients.
Daily Injectable Medication
A weight loss medicine that contains the active ingredient that is similar to a naturally occurring hormone called GLP-1 that is released from the intestine after a meal.
Weekly Injectable Medicaton
A weight loss medication that contains a GLP-1 receptor agonist, which helps control weight and hunger.
Oral Tablets
Oral medications for weight loss come in many forms. You can discuss these in more detail with your doctor at WeightWise Specialists.
Beyond Medication: Evidence Based
At WeightWise Specialists, we use the latest medical evidence to guide and educate our patients on the most effective way to lose weight and keep it off! It is very clear that a VLED (Very Low Energy Diet) program, in combination with GLP-1 weight loss medication, is safe and effective, as shown in clinical research studies. As part of our program, we offer exclusive video content guiding you through a VLED program, providing physical activity advice, and prescribing medication to help you make lifestyle changes that are medically proven to work.
VLED Nutritional Programme
Medically Supervised Very Low Energy Diets (VLEDs) have been consistently shown to be the most effective method for weight loss in numerous studies.
Being Physically Active in the Right Way
Research indicates that relying solely on exercise for weight loss typically results in a modest reduction of around 2 kg. Therefore, going to the gym alone may not be sufficient for achieving significant weight loss goals.
Weight Loss Medication
Losing weight can be more manageable than commonly perceived, but the real challenge lies in maintaining the weight loss over time. This is where medication can play a significant role.
