Weight Management

Weight management is not just about losing weight; it’s about maintaining a healthy body weight through a balanced approach to diet, exercise, and lifestyle. In today’s world, where obesity rates are rising globally, understanding the core principles of weight management is more important than ever. This guide will answer the most frequently asked questions about weight management, offering evidence-based insights to help you make informed decisions for a healthier life.

What is Weight Management?

Weight management refers to the process of adopting healthy lifestyle practices to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight. It’s not just about the number on the scale but about creating a balanced approach that includes nutritious eating, regular physical activity, and behavioural changes. It involves a combination of strategies to help regulate body weight and prevent the risks associated with being overweight or underweight.

 
 
 

What Are the Key Principles of Weight Management?

  • To manage weight effectively, a holistic approach is required. The key principles include:

    1. Balanced Nutrition
    A well-balanced diet is the foundation of weight management. Focus on whole foods that are nutrient-dense and avoid highly processed, sugary foods. A diet rich in vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and healthy fats can provide essential nutrients without excessive calories. Portion control is also important to avoid overeating.

    2. Regular Exercise
    Physical activity is crucial for burning calories, building muscle, and supporting overall health. Regular exercise, including both cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise and strength training, is recommended. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week, coupled with strength training exercises two to three times a week.

    3. Behavioural Changes
    Making lasting changes to your habits and mindset is vital. This includes setting realistic goals, tracking your food intake and exercise, managing stress, and getting enough sleep. Weight management is not about temporary fixes; it’s about creating a sustainable lifestyle that supports long-term health.

 
Weight management is an essential aspect of overall health. By adopting a balanced approach that includes a nutritious diet, regular exercise, and healthy lifestyle habits, you can effectively manage your weight and improve your overall well-being. Remember that weight management is not a quick fix but a long-term commitment to health. If you need support or guidance, our team is here to help you create a personalised plan that works for you.

How Mounjaro is Administered

Mounjaro is a once-weekly injection. Each pre-filled pen contains one dose, and treatment usually starts at 2.5 mg per week, gradually increasing to a maximum of 15 mg.

It is typically injected subcutaneously (under the skin) in the abdomen or thigh, and it is recommended to rotate injection sites each week to reduce irritation.

Possible Side Effects

Like all medications, Mounjaro may cause side effects. The most common include:

  • Nausea
  • Diarrhoea
  • Constipation
  • Abdominal pain
  • Indigestion
  • Decreased appetite

These side effects usually decrease over time as the body adjusts to the medication.

Frequently Asked Questions

If we haven’t answered your Mounjaro questions below please email info@drkayclinic.com

+ - How does Mounjaro compare to other medications like Ozempic?
 

Mounjaro contains tirzepatide, while Ozempic contains semaglutide. Both help manage blood sugar and support weight loss, but Mounjaro targets two hormones (GLP-1 and GIP), while Ozempic targets only GLP-1.

+ - Can I switch from Wegovy to Mounjaro?
 

It is recommended to wait 2-4 weeks after stopping Wegovy before starting Mounjaro, depending on your Wegovy dosage. Both medications should not be used at the same time.

+ - How long do side effects last?
 

Most side effects improve after the first few weeks of treatment, typically within 4 weeks, as the body adjusts to Mounjaro.

+ - Is hair loss a side effect of Mounjaro?

Hair loss has been reported, though it is a rare side effect.

+ - How can I get a prescription for Mounjaro?
 

A prescription can be obtained through visiting the clinic for an in-person clinical assessment.

+ - How can I lose weight in a healthy way?

Healthy weight loss is a gradual process. Aim to lose about 0.5 to 1 kg (1-2 pounds) per week. This can be achieved by creating a calorie deficit through a balanced diet and regular exercise. It’s important to avoid extreme dieting methods, which can lead to nutrient deficiencies and weight regain 2. Can I lose weight without exercising?
While exercise accelerates weight loss, it is possible to lose weight without exercising by creating a calorie deficit through diet alone. However, combining healthy eating with regular physical activity helps maintain muscle mass, supports metabolism, and promotes overall health.

+ - What is the best diet for weight management?

The best diet for weight management is one that is balanced and sustainable. Focus on nutrient-dense foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Avoid fad diets or extreme calorie restriction. Instead, aim to create a healthy relationship with food, focusing on moderation and portion control.

+ - How can stress impact weight management?
 

Chronic stress can affect weight management by increasing the production of the hormone cortisol, which may lead to weight gain, especially around the abdominal area. Stress can also trigger emotional eating, making it difficult to manage food intake. Practising relaxation techniques, such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises, can help reduce stress and improve weight management.

+ - How do I maintain weight after losing it?
 
 
Maintaining weight after losing it requires continued commitment to a balanced diet and regular exercise. Keeping track of your weight, staying mindful of portion sizes, and incorporating physical activity into your daily routine can help prevent weight regain. Additionally, managing stress and ensuring adequate sleep are crucial for long-term success.
