Experts agree that obesity is a complex chronic disease with many causes. Everyone living with obesity is unique and needs an obesity care plan (also called an obesity management programme or a weight management programme) just for them. Weight management providers can help you with personalised options to manage weight and treat obesity.
What do weight management providers do?
Weight management providers not only help you manage weight,
they can also help you understand obesity as a chronic disease and how
it should be approached and treated.
Many things can affect your weight. And so, weight management providers create individual plans that consider your medical needs, preferences, culture, traditions, lifestyle... basically all aspects of you!
Some of the things weight management providers can help with include:.
- Setting weight or health goals that are realistic for your life
- Recommending exercise or physical activity goals
- Guiding you to healthier ways of eating
- Providing counseling around your eating habits
- Reviewing the potential risks and benefits of obesity medicines, if needed
- Adjusting your treatment and goals depending on your progress
