Weight Loss Program

Your Body and Weight Gain

Our body weight is determined partly by our genetics but also largely by the amount of energy that we take in as food and the amount of energy we expend in the activities of our day. Energy is often measured in Calories.

If your weight remains constant, you are probably taking in the same number of calories that you burn each day. If you’re slowly gaining weight over time, it is likely that your caloric intake is greater than the number of calories you burn through your daily activities.

However, there are certain medical conditions and medications that make your put-on weight. Hence, a careful assessment of your unique situation at the outset is important.

Our Tailored Weight Loss Program | A Complete Approach

The GPs at Top Health Doctors are not only experienced in helping our patients through a successful weight loss journey, but they are also caring and dedicated. They listen to your struggles and successes and become part of your journey. Let us help you to a healthier weight and a happier you.

Our unique 12-week Weight Loss Program has been designed to be tailored to individual patient’s needs, as we are all different and therefore need different things to achieve our desired weight.

We can assist you in every part of the weight loss journey.

Rather than just using tape measures and ordinary scales, we use one of the latest body composition technologies to help assess your daily Calorie needs.

At your consultation, you’ll receive a detailed health report of your body composition (including body & visceral fat, muscle mass, metabolic age, and Basal Metabolic Rate – BMR (the number of calories your body burns at rest) which guides us to recommend a meal plan that is calorie controlled based on your composition to accelerate your weight loss success and improve your overall health.
