Weight Loss Service- Slendr
Weight loss is something most people will go through at some point in their life, whether it’s looking to lose a small amount of weight or completely change their lifestyle habits to lose a significant amount. Weight loss is a personal journey for each person, and we’re here to support you on your way with our weight loss service – Slendr.
Weight loss is more than just calorie counting. Many people fail to understand that weight loss is a process which requires you to change your habits and attitude towards eating and exercise. Through a combination of weight loss medication, coaching and support we can help you completely transform your life and reach your ideal weight. To get started book your free assessment with Slendr.
If you’re ready to get started with weight loss our pharmacists and weight loss experts at Slendr can put a weight loss plan together to help you reach your goals. Our aim is to help you find a new approach to diet and exercise that helps you lose weight and keep it off long after you stop taking weight loss medication.
Recently weight loss medications have captured the attention of the nation as people are seeing the impacts they can have and the weight that you can lose using them. While these medications can help you lose weight where you’ve struggled previously, it’s when they’re combined with lifestyle changes that they can make the biggest impact. With Slendr we not only help support you to use these medications but we’ll help you build habits for long term health.
Understanding Weight Loss
Weight loss medications work by mimicking the action of hormones which help to regulate appetite and food intake. By stimulating these hormone receptors in the brain, they help to reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness, naturally leading to a decrease in calorie intake. Where previously you might finish a meal and still feel like you want to snack, with these weight loss medications you’ll feel satiated sooner and consume less calories as a result.
While these medications can help you lose weight, it’s important to make healthy lifestyle choices to really see the benefits of these medications. If you’d like to see if you’re suitable to take these medications, fill in our free assessment form here.
The Role of Lifestyle Changes
While weight loss medication can be effective on its own, it really works when combined with lifestyle changes focussed on increasing your exercise and making good food choices. A combination of these factors not only improves the efficacy, but helps you set long lasting habits that lead to sustained healthy weight loss.
Nutrition
Physical Activity
Regular exercise is key to keeping your body fit, healthy and can help you lose weight. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity each week, in addition to muscle-strengthening activities on two or more days per week. The key to making exercise a part of your life in the long term is choosing activities you enjoy and making them a consistent part of your routine.
Behavioural Changes
Losing weight not only takes exercise and healthy food choices, but also looking at your relationship with food. At Slendr we'll help you identify triggers that lead you to chose more unhealthy foods, encourage you to over eat and when you're most likely to snack. We'll help you find different ways to cope with stress and help you build healthy long term food habits.
Sleep and Stress Management
Social Support
Surrounding yourself with a supportive network of friends, family, or a weight loss community can provide encouragement, accountability, and motivation on your journey. This is why patients using Slendr are more likely to lose and keep weight off vs just taking weight loss medication. We're here to support you at your regular check ins and on whatsapp whenever you need advice or support.
Maximise Your Results
By combining weight loss medications with healthy lifestyle changes, you can transform your health and lose weight successfully. Here’s how lifestyle changes and Slendr work with weight loss medications to give you the best results.
