Our personalized program “I choose a healthy lifestyle”
What does the program entail?
We all know the phrase “fat and beautiful” often used by the generations of the 50’s-80’s – in other words at that time, the extra pounds meant well-being in a time of multiple deprivations.
Over time, however, the diet and lifestyle changed, and people in Romania became more sedentary and adopted a Western-style diet, rich in sweets and fats and low in fibers. Society has begun to look at extra pounds differently and overweight or obese people tend to be stigmatized.
It has become apparent that behind all the extra pounds there are hidden health problems, some of them quite serious. Obesity is a chronic disease and its frequency in the population is increasing, including in children (one in two adolescents is obese).
The complications and consequences of obesity are multiple – cardiovascular disease, diabetes, liver or osteoarticular damage, gastroesophageal reflux disease, gallstones, etc. At the psychological level, it lowers self-confidence and affects the relationship (both from the individual to society, as they tend to become reclusive, and from society to the individual, as society tends to consider overweight people as being far from aesthetic ideals, lazy and unwilling).
The main “weapons” in the fight for a normal weight are diet and physical activity. Both diet and exercise should be considered as stable lifestyle changes. A drastic change cannot be maintained and the yo-yo effect of rapid weight gain often occurs. It is important that the goal of weight loss is realistic. With the exception of bariatric surgery, weight loss will be neither rapid nor drastic, making many people feel discouraged. We support you throughout this period of change, because giving up a healthy diet and exercise means, in the end, giving up on ourselves.
The program “CHOOSE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE” is customized according to the goal set by mutual agreement with the patient and taking into account their current health.
The program is based on the L.E.A.N. (Lifestyle, Exercise, Attitude, Nutrition) for weight loss, prevention and reduction until the elimination of existing or chronic diseases.
The decision to lose weight is in our hands and we only need motivation, guidance and support on the path of transformation. We know that restrictive diets cause frustration, deprivation and ephemeral results, while rapid weight loss leads to the functional weakening of the body.
The “CHOOSE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE” program will help you eat consciously, for your own benefit and not the benefit of the consumer industry.
Benefits:
- lose weight healthy and feel full of energy;
- reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer or metabolic syndrome;
- totally or partially reduce the drug treatment of chronic diseases;
- you improve your quality of life;
- In our program, you will rediscover the taste of healthy food, you will eat real food (properly prepared) and you will learn how to plan / make your meals so that you are not always hungry, you do not constantly think about food but at the same time, you maintain a proper weight in the long run.
Those who correctly followed our recommendations achieved their proposed goals in terms of weight and health, and with the maintenance program they managed to enjoy the holidays and other special situations.
The beneficiaries of our program manage to reach the stabilisation stage and most of them continue the program of maintaining the results in the next 1-2 years.
