What is Weight Loss Treatment?

Private weight loss treatment offers personalised and comprehensive support to help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight. At Spital Clinic, our expert team provides tailored plans designed to suit your lifestyle and preferences. We understand the challenges of weight loss and are here to guide you every step of the way.

Our private weight loss program begins with an in-depth assessment of your health and weight history. This allows us to identify underlying causes of weight gain and develop a customised plan. By focusing on your individual needs, we ensure that your weight loss journey is effective, sustainable, and safe.

How is Weight gain Diagnosed?

The first step in our private weight loss program is a thorough health assessment. Our doctors will measure your weight, height, and body mass index (BMI) to determine your current health status. We also consider factors such as waist circumference, which can indicate health risks related to abdominal fat.

In addition to physical measurements, we may conduct blood tests and other diagnostic procedures. These tests help identify any medical conditions contributing to weight gain, such as hormonal imbalances or metabolic disorders. Understanding these factors allows us to create a personalised weight loss plan tailored to your needs.

Symptoms of Weight Gain?

  • Increased body weight
  • Excessive fat around the abdomen
  • Fatigue and low energy levels
  • Shortness of breath
  • Joint pain
  • Snoring or sleep apnea
  • Difficulty performing physical activities
  • Elevated blood pressure
  • High cholesterol levels
  • Increased risk of diabetes

How is Weight Gain Treated?

At Spital Clinic, we offer a multidisciplinary approach to weight loss. Our treatment plans include dietary changes, physical activity, and behavioural therapy. We help you create a balanced diet that suits your lifestyle and preferences. Our team also provides guidance on portion control and healthy food choices.

Physical activity is a crucial component of our weight loss program. We recommend personalised exercise routines that fit into your daily schedule. You can also start reducing your calorie intake or work out your optimum daily intake with our calorie calculator. Regular follow-up appointments ensure that your progress is monitored, and any necessary adjustments are made to your plan. Our goal is to help you achieve long-term weight loss success.

Risk Factors for Weight Gain?

Risk factors for weight gain include poor diet, lack of physical activity, genetic predisposition, and certain medical conditions. Emotional factors such as stress and depression can also contribute to weight gain. By addressing these risk factors, we can create a more effective weight loss plan tailored to your needs.

Weight gain can significantly impact your physical and mental health. It may lead to chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension. Additionally, carrying excess weight can affect your self-esteem and overall quality of life. At Spital Clinic, we aim to help you regain control of your health and well-being through our comprehensive weight loss program.

Our Expertise - Weight Loss?

At Spital Clinic, we understand that weight loss is a unique journey for every individual. That's why we offer a comprehensive weight loss package designed to address both the medical and lifestyle aspects of your goals.

Our Comprehensive Weight Loss Package Includes:

  • Doctor Consultation & Health Screen: Begin your journey with a thorough consultation with our experienced doctor. We'll review your medical history, discuss your weight loss goals, and conduct a comprehensive health assessment.
  • Ultrasound Scan (Part of Executive Health Screen): As part of our Executive Health Screen, we offer an abdominal ultrasound scan to check for fatty liver and gallstones, two common conditions associated with excess weight. This non-invasive procedure provides valuable insights into your internal health, allowing us to tailor your treatment plan more effectively.
  • Weight Loss Injections: Based on your individual needs and health assessment, we may recommend weight loss injections to support your progress. These injections typically contain medications that mimic naturally occurring hormones in your body, such as GLP-1. GLP-1 plays a crucial role in regulating appetite and blood sugar levels.

How Weight Loss Injections Work:

  • Appetite Suppression: By mimicking GLP-1, these injections can help you feel fuller sooner and for longer periods, leading to reduced calorie intake.
  • Slowed Digestion: They may also slow down the rate at which your stomach empties, further contributing to feelings of fullness and reducing the urge to snack between meals.
  • Blood Sugar Regulation: Some weight loss injections can also help regulate blood sugar levels, which can be particularly beneficial for individuals with type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance.
  • Metabolic Effects: While research is ongoing, some studies suggest that these injections may also have a positive impact on metabolism, potentially helping your body burn calories more efficiently.

Throughout your weight loss journey, our team will provide ongoing support, guidance, and motivation to help you stay on track and achieve your desired results.

Spital Clinic 5 Star Services in City of London. Reliable healthcare provider.

"Great experience. Frustratingly we had 3 NIPTs come back with no result so had to do 3 blood redraws but thanks to LPC’s persistence we finally got a result on the 4th draw. After the 3rd no result they also kindly offered us a free anomaly scan."
