Weight Reduction

About 20 million women and 10 million men are obese in India. If one adds overweight to it, about a quarter of Indians affected by this health issue. We run a comprehensive weight reduction program taking into account of age, gender, BMI and comorbidities.

Our data suggests 5% weight reduction in 100% subjects, 10% reduction in 70% of subjects and 15% reduction in 40% of subjects who participated in this program over the last 10 yrs. This program essentially works on restricting calorie intake, manipulating the composition of the diet and controlling the energy expenditure with the help of physical exercise. Individuals who partake this program also receive psycho-social support and assistance to relive stress.

Some examples of popular diet plans and programs that we use routinely include the Atkins diet, The South Beach Diet, Cutting carbs / no-carb diets, Ketogenic diet, High-protein diets and Paleo diet. The selection of a particular diet is based on various factors including age, gender, comorbidities socio-cultural and dietary preferences of an individual.

All of these diets have their proponents, and all of them have been successful for some people. Finally losing weight is the easier part of the program and the daunting task ahead will be the maintenance phase of the program. We have a well-designed and protocol based method in place where we offer counselling and emotional support to our patients and help them in their efforts not to regain weight.
