OBESITY AND METABOLIC DISORDER

Obesity is the most common cause of diabetes and heart disease. The best way to determine your ideal weight is to use this Body Mass Index and the waist circumference. Recognizing the complexity of the obesity problem, we prefer a multi-pronged approach. Due to time constraints, we cannot provide comprehensive nutritional advice, but can only provide important information and key points about your individual problems.

In the first conversation about your eating habits We will shed light on fattening, unhealthy habits and advise you on how to change your diet towards a healthy, balanced, vitamin-rich diet with a low glycemic index (a measure of the fast or slow metabolism of carbohydrates). We record your weight development, your eating habits, behavioral errors (snacking, binge eating, frustration eating, eating as a substitute, etc.) and your previous diet measures in the anamnesis. A rough nutritional record can be helpful in the discussion. After the laboratory examination with determination of the relevant metabolic values ​​and a physical examination, the consultation follows. Contents are nutritional tips or a Referral for nutritional advice to ecotrophologists or dietitians, questions about adequate physical activity, the use of possible drugs and advice on mental measures/ behavior therapy for lasting behavior change.

Our goal of treatment is to achieve realistic goals. Achieving a normal weight is desirable for overweight people, but is usually not possible. Even a weight loss of 10% of your initial weight is associated with a significant reduction in the associated risk of illness - every kilo counts. A low and continuous weight loss of one to two kilograms per month is more promising in the long term than rapid weight loss in a short period of time, which is usually followed by a yo-yo effect.

Knowledge of the circumstances mentioned increases the chances of success in weight loss and this success is motivation. The goal of therapy is not to return to the ideal weight, but rather to maintain a reduced body weight in the long term.
