23.01.2022 Use of Saxenda for Weight Loss Saxenda is likely one of the best weight loss medications that exist on the market right now. It is clinically proven and works by safely controlling your hunger through acting on receptors in the appetite control center of the brain. As well as this, Saxenda also postpones the emptying of your stomach, causing you to feel fuller quicker and for a longer period of time. By reducing your appetite, it will help you keep to a calorie-controlled die...t and achieve your weight loss goals. Saxenda also helps due to its impact on various hormones including leptin, insulin, and glucagon. These hormones are responsible for metabolism, how much energy we burn at rest and how the body stores and burns fat. Using Saxenda can actually help bring these hormones back into normal balance and help you lose weight in the process. Numerous studies have shown that patients using Saxenda can lose around 10% body fat, a significant amount of weight, over just 12 weeks of use. However, one of the biggest drawbacks of using this medication is the cost. Saxenda costs about $400 per month. At WaistWise we have been helping patients successfully lose weight and lead happier lives. Find more about how you can lose weight and see how successful you can be on the weight loss journey!

18.01.2022 Very low-calorie diets (VLCDs) are designed to completely replace usual food intake. A diet is described as very low calorie if it provides less than 800 kcal per day. It is important to ensure that VLCDs provide sufficient protein and meet the daily requirements for vitamins, minerals, electrolytes and fatty acids. Small amounts of foods such as vegetables may be incorporated in VLCD diets. Due to the severe calorie restriction and the potential side effects, complete VLCD ...should not be followed for more than 3-4 months. Patients can expect to lose 1.0-2.5 kg per week when strictly adhering to a VLCD. The National Obesity Forum recommends that VLCDs are used only under close clinical and dietetic supervision.

16.01.2022 Walking is an excellent aerobic activity with numerous , including improved cardiovascular fitness, improved circulation, reduced risk for chronic diseases, and noticeable boosts in your mental health. While walking may not always burn as many calories as higher-intensity workouts, it carries low risk and is a great way to get active if you struggle with physical activity. Here are a few tips and strategies to make the most out of your walking workout and increase its effecti...veness. How to Step up Your Walking Workout Use these tips to stay focused, turn up the intensity, and feel better after your workout. 1.Use Your Arms: Pumping your arms can help you tone them, walk faster, and burn more calories. Keep your arms close to your body to control your movement and avoid strain on your back and shoulders. You can also add hand weights to increase your walking intensity. 2. Make a Walking Playlist: Grab some earphones and fill up your playlist with upbeat and energetic tunes that will motivate you to keep walking. Music can also alleviate boredom and help you stay focused. Plus, tunes are fun! 3. Add Some Moves: Walking lunges, walking sideways, knee raises, and jumping jacks can increase your metabolism and workout intensity. If there are benches nearby, perhaps in a local park, you can also try push-ups and triceps dips. 4. Add Intervals: These can be short bursts of jogging, but they can also include variations to your walking speed that rev-up the intensity. 5. Walk Outside: Instead of walking on a treadmill, try moving to a place outside with varying levels of elevation so that you get a more effective workout with a higher intensity. Fresh air is also good for the body, and it can boost your mood. 6. Bring Some Company ' if you can ' : Beat boredom and stay motivated by bringing along a friend, whether it’s a human friend or one with four paws and a tail! 7. Use a Fitness Tracker: It can keep track of your distance, the number of steps you take, time passed, heart rate, and more. A fitness tracker is a great way to measure your exercise intensity and have some form of accountability. 8. Maintain Good Posture: To prevent pain and injury, remember to keep your back straight, your chin up, and your shoulders aligned over your hips. Conclusion With some small additions to your walking workout, you can improve the quality of your walk and reinvigorate your routine to prevent boredom. You will also notice positive changes to your mood, body, and hopefully, your weight management goals.(Courtesy: obesity action)

12.01.2022 GETTING PORTION WISE : Most of us don't think about portion size when we eat - it typically depends on what we would usually have, how hungry we feel and how much is on our plate. Having a healthy, balanced diet is about getting the right types of foods and drinks in the right amounts 'it's not only about eating less, its also about eating differently!... Getting the right portion size : We’re all individuals with different needs & the amount of food we need, varies from person to person. If you’re tall or very active you may need more and could have larger portions. If you’re a small person or are trying to lose weight, you may need smaller portions. If you use the hand measures, then portion sizes will vary with the size of your hands & bigger people will automatically get bigger portions while smaller people will get smaller ones. There are lots of different ways to eat a healthy diet & It’s about balancing the food groups and finding the portion sizes that are right for you. Further on in our Waist Wise Programme getting PORTION WISE is usually discussed to help you gain better insight & developing long lasting food habits .

07.01.2022 The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has greatly changed the way we live & interact & it is likely that our lives will be different for a while.

Look after your physical health (regularly exercise) 2. Stay connected 3. Develop new routines: We are used to having routines to guide our days and give us a sense of achievement. When so much seems out of our control, establishing some structure in our days will help to provide stability and a ‘new normal’. This is particularly challenging for families adjusting to home learning. Try to create new routines to help separate ‘work and school time’ and ‘family time’. Think about the parts of your usual routine you value the most and find ways to make these part of your day such as having lunch with colleagues via video chat, or finding an online gym class. 4. Take breaks: Be kind to yourself and take time just for you 5. Reach out to others: Reaching out to give people support, if you are able, can help your mental well being and make a big difference to someone else’s life. 6.
