Body Slimming

Body Beauty (Slimming)

We all know that to lose weight, we have to eat less and exercise more. This is challenging for most people. Firstly, we are inherently lazy, preferring to watch multiple episodes of dramas on the couch rather than go to the gym; secondly, not everyone can endure hunger.

• We can use a drug called Xenical to help with weight loss. It inhibits lipase, preventing us from effectively absorbing fat from our diet. The fat is excreted during bowel movements, and undigested fat naturally won’t turn into flab. Previously, a drug called Reductil (sibutramine) was effective, but it was withdrawn in 2010 because it was found to possibly increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
• For those who are more overweight, we can place a gastric balloon in the stomach with the help of a gastroscope. Since the balloon takes up most of the space in the stomach, you will feel full after eating a very small amount of food. The balloon is then removed 4-6 months later using a gastroscope. This treatment can generally reduce weight by 10-15 kg. For those who are severely overweight, gastric bypass surgery may be considered.

When you are overweight, doctors often tell you: “Do more exercise, eat less…” But nine out of ten doctors will not explain in detail how to exercise, what types of exercise to do, how often to exercise; nor will they design a diet plan for you, calculate the total calories you can consume each day, and plan your weekly meals at home or when eating out. We will let you know all the secret techniques of slimming, and set a slimming timetable for you, to help you achieve your weight loss goals within a suitable timeframe.
