Benefits of Losing Weight

Official statistics suggest that an obese person dies on average nine years earlier than somebody of a normal weight, while a very obese person's life is cut short by an average of 13 years.

If you are overweight you increase your risk of the following:

• Heart Disease and Stroke;
• Diabetes;
• Cancer;
• Skeletal disorders (such as arthritis and gall bladder disease)
• Osteoarthritis
• Surgical risks (being overweight is considered to be a severe complication for surgical procedures and holds an increased risk for general anaesthesia.)

Our doctors are qualified practitioners with many years of experience working with patients who are overweight. We have all the tools available i.e. well established weight-management programmes to make sure you succeed.

Our delicious new range of My Meal Mentor slimming meals will:

• compliment your weight-loss programme

• make it easier to follow a calorie-controlled diet, helping you achieve better results

• help you to eat more healthily and manage your weight through a nutritional calorie-controlled diet.

Other problems

Not related to health risks are:

Social:

Overweight people may feel a lack of enthusiasm for socialising and activities. They may also lack desire to be social due to real or perceived prejudice in the community against overweight people. 

In The Workplace:

Some employers have to make people with considerable weight problems redundant due to health and safety risks. Others discriminate when recruiting staff or considering candidates for promotion.

Physical Discomfort

Overweight people may experience fatigue, shortness of breath, joint pain etc.
