What is a weight loss management service?

For many people, there can be some confusion about what it means to manage their weight, what a healthy weight is, and what steps they should take to ensure they are putting their health and well-being first. At Manchester Pharmacy the term weight management is generally used to refer to the process of adopting long-term changes to your lifestyle. In order to maintain a healthy body weight. These lifestyle changes can include eating healthier, maintaining a balanced diet and increasing your physical activity levels. As well as challenging your mindset around using food as a reward, treat or a way to manage your stress.

Part of our weight management service is figuring out what a healthy weight is for you. This can give you an idea of what kinds of changes you need to make, and whether you may need to lose or gain weight to fall within what is considered a healthy range for your height, age and sex.

What are the health risks?
