• For those trying to lose weight, understanding their individual requirements is a must.

• Losing weight would be much easier if one understood the process of how.
• It is common to be convinced into attempting the latest fad/trend diet having been exposed to hundreds of different opinions, extreme results, biased reviews and questionable transformations. Ask yourself ‘have you lost weight following a “specific” diet, to not only put the weight back on but more?’

       Understanding the following topics will ensure you    learn how to lose weight and keep it off for good    and is how we approach this  area at Top to Toe    Health.

• Energy balance

• Lifestyle requirements

• Calories

• Macronutrients

  Hypertension/Blood pressure High blood pressure is often asymptomatic. Hypertension tends to go hand in hand with insulin resistance, high cholesterol and metabolic disease. Approximately 80% of T2DM patients have hypertension.Common contributing factors are:

• Being overweight
• Insulin resistance
• Food intake
• Smoking
• Caffeine
• Familial history
• Stress and others

A good evidence based treatment can involve this following approaches:

• Weight loss
• Dietary intervention
• Quitting smoking
• Limiting alcohol intake
• Meditation
• Medication

Hyperlipidaemia / High cholesterol High cholesterol is asymptomatic and impairs blood flow. Impairing blood flow significantly increases the risk of a heart attack or stroke. It is common to be diagnosed with high cholesterol and then immediately been instructed to simply lose weight and to consume at fewer fatty foods. However treating hyperlipidaemia requires more finesses that simply the above-mentioned approaches. This is where Top to Toe Health can help. Being overweight, having impaired glucose regulation, genetic/familial history, consuming high amounts of processed/refined foods, smoking, alcohol and lack of physical activity are all common variables leading to high cholesterol and all need to be considered.Successful management/treatment involves but is not limited to the following:

• weight loss
• physical activity modification
• dietary intervention
• lifestyle adjustments (alcohol/smoking)
• medication
