Assessment before advice

Before any diet is prescribed, the treatable causes and consequences of weight gain are evaluated.

  • Thyroid profile
  • Fasting glucose, HbA1c and insulin resistance assessment
  • Lipid profile and liver assessment
  • For women with irregular cycles: hormonal evaluation for PCOS
  • Review of medicines that promote weight gain
  • Waist circumference and body composition, not weight alone

PCOS and insulin resistance

PCOS is a metabolic condition as much as a gynaecological one. Insulin resistance drives the irregular cycles, the difficulty losing weight and, over time, the risk of diabetes.

Treating the insulin resistance often improves cycles, skin and hair symptoms, and fertility — and it substantially reduces long-term diabetes risk.

The plan

Realistic targets, a diet built from what you already eat, activity you can sustain, and periodic re-measurement. Medication is used where it is clinically indicated, not as a shortcut around the rest.

Frequently asked questions

Why can I not lose weight despite dieting?
Untreated hypothyroidism, PCOS, insulin resistance, certain medicines and severe calorie restriction that slows metabolism are all common explanations. This is exactly why testing comes before the diet plan.
Do I need weight-loss injections?
Newer weight-loss medications are effective for some patients but are not appropriate for everyone, have side effects and costs, and work best alongside dietary change. Suitability is assessed individually.
Can PCOS be cured?
PCOS is managed rather than cured, but symptoms often improve markedly with weight reduction and treatment of insulin resistance, and many women conceive with appropriate management.
