Committing to changes in your lifestyle is important for long-term weight loss and weight management. Weight loss and weight maintenance generally require a long-term reduction in calorie intake. You can do this by altering your diet (eating habits, portions and healthy food) and increasing exercise.
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
For more information on prescription medication, please speak to your Doctor.
Behavioural Changes
It is important that you obtain a firm understanding of the factors and/or behaviours (for example, nutrition and physical activity) that have contributed to you becoming overweight or have impeded your weight management journey.
If necessary, your Doctor may refer you to a psychologist, counsellor or behavioural therapist to best assist you in your weight management.
Weight Loss Surgery
Weight loss surgical treatments are often considered for people with a high BMI who have other medical conditions related to being obese.
Weight loss surgical treatments are an effective way for severely obese people to lose weight but can be expensive.
Pre-prepared Meals
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 they should be used under the supervision of a Doctor as part of a programme.
