About this treatment

At Prema Health, we understand that weight management is a crucial aspect of maintaining overall health and well-being. Our weight management services for men are designed to address your unique needs, providing personalised care and support to help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

Men’s weight management needs can differ significantly from women’s due to physiological, hormonal, and lifestyle factors. Men generally have a higher muscle mass and metabolic rate, which means they might require different dietary and exercise strategies. Additionally, men may face specific challenges such as abdominal fat accumulation, which is linked to higher risks of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. Recognising these differences, our approach at Prema Health is tailored to meet the distinct needs of men, ensuring effective and sustainable results.

In More Detail

Our weight management program begins with a thorough assessment of your current health status, lifestyle, dietary habits, and physical activity levels. This holistic evaluation helps us create a personalised plan that aligns with your goals and addresses any underlying health issues.

Diet plays a pivotal role in weight management. Our friendly doctors work closely with you to develop a balanced and nutritious eating plan that fits your preferences and lifestyle. We focus on promoting whole foods, appropriate portion sizes, and mindful eating habits. Whether your goal is to lose weight or gain muscle, we provide practical dietary strategies that support your journey.

Exercise is another cornerstone of our weight management services. We recognise that men’s fitness goals often include building muscle mass and improving strength. Our experienced doctors have access to a network of other professionals who can work collaboratively to design customised exercise programs that combine cardiovascular workouts, strength training, and flexibility exercises. These programs are tailored to your fitness level and preferences, ensuring they are enjoyable and sustainable.

Behavioural change is critical for long-term success. Our weight management services include behavioural support to help you develop healthy habits and overcome obstacles. We offer individual counselling, group workshops, and motivational strategies to keep you on track. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge and skills needed to make lasting lifestyle changes.

In some cases, medical interventions may be necessary. Our healthcare providers at Prema Health can prescribe medications to assist with weight loss or manage related conditions such as hypertension or diabetes. These interventions are integrated into your personalised plan, ensuring a comprehensive approach to your health.

Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight has numerous benefits for men, reducing the risk of chronic diseases. Improved weight management also enhances physical performance, energy levels, and overall fitness. Additionally, it positively impacts mental health, reducing the risk of depression and anxiety, and boosting self-esteem and confidence.

At Prema Health, we are committed to supporting men in their weight management journey with a comprehensive, personalised approach. By addressing the unique needs of men and providing a range of services from nutritional counselling to medical interventions, we help you achieve your health goals and improve your overall well-being. Our dedicated team is here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring that your weight management plan is effective, sustainable, and tailored to your individual needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does weight management for men differ from that for women?

Weight management for men differs primarily due to physiological and hormonal differences. Men typically have a higher muscle mass and metabolic rate, which means they may require more calories and different macronutrient ratios compared to women. Men also tend to store fat around the abdomen, which poses higher health risks like cardiovascular disease. At Prema Health, we tailor our approach to address these differences, providing customised dietary plans and exercise programs that align with men’s specific needs and goals. This ensures effective, sustainable weight management that promotes overall health and well-being.

2. What does the initial assessment for weight management include?

The initial assessment at Prema Health includes a comprehensive evaluation of your current health status, medical history, lifestyle, dietary habits, and physical activity levels. We conduct measurements such as body mass index (BMI), body composition analysis, and metabolic rate assessment. Blood tests may also be performed to check for underlying conditions like diabetes or thyroid issues. This thorough assessment helps us understand your unique needs and challenges, allowing us to create a personalised weight management plan that is tailored to your specific goals and health requirements.

3. What kind of dietary advice is provided in the weight management program?

Our weight management program offers personalised dietary advice based on your individual needs, preferences, and goals. Our registered dietitians focus on promoting whole, nutrient-dense foods, balanced meals, and appropriate portion sizes. We emphasise the importance of a varied diet that includes lean proteins, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats. We also provide guidance on meal planning, mindful eating practices, and strategies to manage cravings and emotional eating. Our goal is to help you develop sustainable, healthy eating habits that support long-term weight management and overall well-being.

Conditions Treated

Prema Health’s male weight management services are designed to address a variety of conditions related to both weight gain and obesity. Obesity is a significant health concern, often leading to chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), and cardiovascular disease, including heart attacks and strokes.

Additionally, obesity can lead to metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions including high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol levels, which collectively increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

Joint pain and osteoarthritis are also common in overweight individuals due to the excess stress placed on joints. Sleep apnoea, a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, is also closely linked to obesity.

Moreover, being overweight can contribute to mental health issues such as depression and anxiety due to societal stigma and body image concerns.

At Prema Health, we provide comprehensive support to address these conditions, ensuring holistic care for better overall health and quality of life. Our program can help to achieve a healthier weight, improved mobility, better overall sleep quality, reduced related health risks, enhanced self-esteem, and improved mental well-being.
