An eating pattern you can sustain
Plan varied meals, review portions and sugary drinks, and choose changes that fit your routine and budget.
More details
Build varied meals around vegetables, whole grains, and a protein source, and review portion sizes and sugary drinks. Planning shopping and meals can make choices easier when hungry. Choose changes that fit your usual foods and budget, with dietitian support when helpful.
Movement that fits your ability
Start with manageable activity and build gradually. Ask for guidance if pain or breathlessness limits movement.
More details
Start with activity you can repeat, such as short walks or water-based exercise, and increase the time gradually. Movement benefits the heart, muscles, and sleep even when weight changes little. Discuss suitable activities if joint pain, breathlessness, or another health problem limits movement.
Where medicines and surgery fit
Medicines or surgery may help alongside healthy habits. Follow-up matters, and pregnancy plans need discussion before weight-loss medicines.
More details
Your clinician may discuss obesity medicines or bariatric surgery based on health assessment and treatment response. Nutrition and activity remain part of care, and benefits and side effects need review. Medication may be long term. Discuss pregnancy or pregnancy plans before using weight-loss medicines.
