Obesity is a complex medical condition characterized by excessive body fat that can have serious health consequences, including increased risk of diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic conditions. At Dr. Sawant’s Diabetes Care Centre, we offer comprehensive obesity weight management programs designed to help individuals achieve and maintain a healthy weight through personalized strategies and support.

Understanding Obesity:

Obesity is often determined by body mass index (BMI), a calculation based on height and weight. A BMI of 30 or higher indicates obesity. Contributing factors include genetics, lifestyle habits, socioeconomic factors, and medical conditions.

• Nutrition Counseling: Guidance on adopting a balanced diet that promotes weight loss while ensuring adequate nutrition. Emphasis on portion control, meal planning, and making healthier food choices.
• Physical Activity Recommendations: Tailored exercise plans that include aerobic activities, strength training, and flexibility exercises to promote calorie burning and improve overall fitness.
• Behavioral Therapy: Counseling sessions to address emotional and behavioral factors influencing eating habits and lifestyle choices. Strategies for stress management, coping with triggers, and goal-setting.
• Medical Interventions: When appropriate, medications may be prescribed to aid weight loss, under close medical supervision.
• Surgical Options: For severely obese individuals who have not achieved weight loss with other methods, bariatric surgery (e.g., gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy) may be considered as a last resort.
