Fitzrovia Medical Clinic
Diet & Exercise
Focusing on long-term health and habits that you can stick with over time will help improve your health and are more likely to result in lasting weight loss.
Fitzrovia Medical Clinic recommends having a healthy diet for weight loss. A healthy diet favours natural, unprocessed foods over pre-packaged meals and snacks. A balanced meal provides your body with all the nutrients and minerals it needs to function best. It emphasizes plant-based foods —especially fruits and vegetables—over a meat-filled diet. The diet should incorporate “healthy fats” including fish, olive oil and other plant-derived oils.
At Fitzrovia Medical Clinic, we recommend that cardio workouts should be combined with weight training for optimal health. Cardio workouts include things like walking, jogging, running, cycling, or swimming. Learn more about types of weight training exercises. Be sure to talk with a doctor before starting a new exercise plan.
Reducing your calorie intake and adding more physical activity to your routine can help you lose weight quickly and sustainably. That said, each individual is different. There may be other factors that need to be considered, such as your diet, the medications you are taking, your hormones, your mood, and your genetics.
