Join our Obesity Clinic
Learn the scientific way of losing weight.
The Heart Care Clinic has a dedicated Weight Reduction Unit (Obesity Clinic) based on ADA guidelines. Here the ideal management of patients is decided by many professionals like Doctors, Dietitians and Physiotherapist. Advice given is evidence based and never opinion based. Gradual weight reduction is encouraged. One can reduce weight up-to 3 kgs in one month and more if body responds well naturally, without regaining it back. After achieving ideal weight, counseling is given so that patients can maintain their ideal weight throughout their life. If rapid weight loss of more than 10% occurs without any efforts to reduce weight, please consult your doctor and get yourself checked.
The issue is not of drastic one time weight reduction, but the issue is of gradual and sustainable weight reduction and maintaining the same. While reducing weight please don’t get impatient. Please don’t use shortcuts, Lose weight the ideal way.
