Dieting is big business in the UK, and local healthcare trusts are investing a lot of money and time into ensuring that the public are as fit and healthy as possible. Luckily, there are lots of resources for those of us who want to lose weight and Warwick is no exception. Whether you just need a bit of moral support and a few recipe ideas to help you lose a few pounds or you need weight loss surgery to treat severe obesity, you should be able to find all the help you need by asking your GP for support.

If you are only a little overweight, something as serious as gastric bypass surgery is undoubtedly not necessary! Instead, you can try one of Warwick’s many slimming clubs, which not only offer members support while dieting, but also provide some practical advice on what foods to eat and the best kind of exercise to shift that stubborn excess weight. Some people don’t feel comfortable in these clubs and in these cases advice about nutrition may be more helpful and can be obtained from your doctor. Public gyms and health centres also offer a wide variety of fitness classes for weight loss. Even people who are already severely overweight and very unfit, can take some kind of exercise and something low impact like walking or yoga is a good place to start.

Those who are already obese my need more support and help from health professionals, as well as their friends and family. In some cases, counselling services may be required to examine the patient’s relationship with food, while hypnotherapy and other alternative treatments have proven to be successful in dealing with compulsive over-eaters and those with other eating disorders. There are some people who will just find themselves unable to lose weight no matter what they try. Often these people will find they are struggling with other health problems that are caused by their obesity. It is these cases that may require weight loss surgery, using gastric bands or balloons to create an artificial sense of fullness, so that the patient eats less and less food and starts to lose weight naturally. These procedures are becoming more and more common in the Warwick area, and though they are seen as a last resort by doctors, are very effective for those who have run out of options.
