Why Choose a Weight Loss Program in Singapore?
Weight loss is not solely about reducing calories or increasing exercise. A medically supervised program addresses the unique needs of each individual, considering underlying health conditions, lifestyle habits, and personal goals. In Singapore, comprehensive programs often include:
- Personalised diet planning based on medical history and lifestyle.
- Exercise recommendations suitable for fitness levels and physical conditions.
- Behavioural coaching to support long-term lifestyle changes.
- Medical oversight to ensure safety, particularly for individuals with conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, or cardiovascular risks.
Professional guidance is particularly important for individuals seeking medically assisted weight management, which may include prescription medications such as Wegovy or Mounjaro. These options are typically prescribed under the supervision of an endocrinologist to complement lifestyle changes.
