Your Weight Loss Options
Committing to changes in your lifestyle is essential for long-term weight loss and weight management. If you want to lose weight and keep it off, you need to change your energy balance by taking in less energy than what your body uses. You can do this by altering your diet (eating habits, portions and healthy food), increasing exercise and changing your behaviour.
iNova's iLiveLite program provides valuable tools for long-term changes to both diet and exercise.
It can be used together with weight-loss medication, if prescribed by a Doctor.
Prescription Medication
Medication such as appetite suppressants that help with/aid weight loss may be used as part of an overall weight loss program that includes diet, exercise and behaviour changes.
It is important that you speak to your doctor to discuss clinically proven and trusted options available to you
Behavioural Changes
It is important that you obtain a firm understanding of the factors and/or behaviours that have contributed to you becoming overweight or have impeded your weight loss journey.
Your doctor may refer you to a psychologist, counsellor or behavioural therapist to best assist you in your weight loss.
Weight Loss Surgery
Weight loss surgical treatments are often considered as the last resort, as they are only suitable in people with a high BMI.
Weight loss surgical treatments are an effective way for severely obese people to lose weight but can be quite expensive and difficult to get access to.
Pre-Prepared Meals and VLED Weight Loss Products
Various commercially prepared energy controlled meal programs and diets for weight loss are available. Other options include VLED (very low energy diet) products and meal replacements that all aid in medically controlled weight loss.
A VLED product (e.g. shakes and bars) can be used to substitute all or some meals and should be used with supervision from your doctor as part of a program.
Losing weight is really hard and keeping it off can be even harder!
Your doctor can help you achieve sustainable and healthy weight loss through highly successful methods backed by science. Speak to a doctor about a once a day capsule that curbs appetite and cravings.
