At MUMS we strongly believe that a combination of the following is key to successful permanent weight loss:

• GP Management and Treatment Pathway
• Consultations with MUMS dietician
• Counselling

We urge patients to consult with MUMS GPs as it is important that your individual treatment plan is supervised by a qualified doctor.

Treatments are effective, and evidence based and furthermore, reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Maintaining weight loss is important and that is why we believe that our holistic approach at MUMS – is more beneficial and cost-effective long term – as opposed to “Yoyo Dieting”.   Obesity is known to cause many conditions including Diabetes and cardiovascular disease and even anxiety and depression. Other positive benefits include normalising blood sugar, blood pressure and inflammatory diseases.

MUMS effective weight loss programme led by Dr Adeline Afong and Dr Nimah Bholah consists of expert advice and monitoring with monthly reviews and measurements. This is a “Gold Standard” and recognised obesity management programme combining clinical expertise, counselling and diet and lifestyle advice.

How counselling benefits MUMS weight loss programmes

There will be a very valid reason why your weight crept on in the first place. We can help you to tackle your weight issues with a more thorough and holistic approach, by addressing your well-being both physically and mentally in tandem.

Food is the most common crutch that people reach for when dealing with difficult emotions. Then being over-weight leads to personal dissatisfaction and health issues.

Many people find, much to their surprise, that they don't feel as content as they thought they would after they have lost the weight, which leads to people giving up and putting the weight back on again.

Counselling will help you to look at your current situation, your childhood, and any traumas you might have experienced, so that you better understand yourself and your world.

By working out, then addressing, what made you turn to over-eating in the first place, will stop you from relapsing, or swapping food for an alternative crutch, such as alcohol or gambling.
