Weight Management Medication
Clinics may prescribe various medications to support individuals in their weight loss efforts, particularly when lifestyle changes alone are insufficient. Some medications help reduce hunger or increase feelings of fullness. They can be effective for individuals who struggle with controlling their appetite. Others reduce the absorption of dietary fats from the intestines, leading to lower calorie intake.
Available medications may include Phentermine, Diethylpropion, Orlistat, Contrave etc.
Considerations for Medication Use
While weight management medications can be helpful, they are typically prescribed under specific conditions and are not suitable for everyone. Key considerations include:
Eligibility: Medications are often recommended for individuals with a BMI of 30 or higher or a BMI of 27 or higher with weight-related health issues, such as hypertension, diabetes, or high cholesterol.
Side Effects: As with any medication, potential side effects may occur. It’s important for individuals to discuss these with their doctor.
Lifestyle Changes: Medications are most effective when combined with lifestyle modifications, including a healthy diet and regular physical activity.
Benefits of Weight Management
Reduced Chronic Diseases: Maintaining a healthy weight significantly lowers the risk of developing various chronic conditions, including heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers.
Stronger Immune System: A balanced diet and regular physical activity associated with weight management can bolster the immune system, helping the body to fend off illnesses more effectively.
Joint Health: Shedding excess weight reduces stress on your joints, especially your knees and hips, potentially reducing pain and improving mobility.
Better Sleep: Weight management can improve sleep quality, reducing the risk of sleep apnea and other sleep disorders. Better sleep contributes to improved mood and cognitive function during the day.
Realistic Weight Loss Results
Setting realistic weight loss goals is crucial for the success of a clinical weight management program. These goals should be attainable, measurable, and tailored to individual needs, helping to foster sustainable lifestyle changes rather than quick fixes.
A common guideline is to aim for a weight loss of 0.5 to 1 kg per week. This pace is considered safe and sustainable, reducing the likelihood of muscle loss and ensuring that the weight lost is primarily fat.
Alternatively, instead of aiming for a specific number of kilograms, consider aiming to lose 5% to 10% of total body weight. E.g. someone weighing 90 kg should target a weight loss of 4.5 to 9 kg in one programme period.
At the end of the day, patients are encouraged to think long-term rather than focusing solely on the number on the scale. Sustainable weight loss involves making permanent changes to diet and exercise habits.
