The answer to this question is very much in line with the previous one that we recommend reading.

Other recommendations that can be added are,

1. Reduce your intake of alcoholic beverages
2. Reduce stress levels
3. Exercise, especially with an important aerobic component.
4. Do localized exercises, such as sit-ups.

Overweight and obesity are increasing year after year. This problem affects increasingly younger people, which is why it has long since stopped being treated as a “just aesthetic” problem to be treated as a chronic disease with serious health consequences.

According to many experts, the maximum weight you should lose per week is 1 kilo. Most studies have shown that losing weight in a continuous and sustained way has better results in the long term.

Losing more weight than this can increase several risk factors in a patient. Typically people's preferred method for losing weight fast is low-calorie diets. For example 800 calories per day. Few people choose to make this reduction, increasing physical exercise which makes the goal more difficult to achieve.

Most people who use strict and aggressive diets end up regaining all the weight they lost, and often even gain some weight within a period of 1 to 3 years.

Several independent studies have shown that when monitored by a doctor, the rapid weight loss process improves considerably in terms of results.

At Clínica Dr Tallon, this is what we provide. Close monitoring of our patients so that new eating and lifestyle habits are definitive. This is at the same time that we use manipulations that can give the necessary push to achieve visible and desired results.

We recommend carefully reading the following question with the same content about the most well-known diets.

Due to lack of time or comfort, eating habits have changed, and our typical Mediterranean diet has given way to fried foods, cakes, fast food and all types of pre-cooked food very rich in saturated fat, the worst for our health.

Stress, an inseparable companion of our civilization, causes anxiety, depression and other changes in the nervous system, which can slow the metabolism and make us look for compensation in food. Obesity, directly or indirectly, will quickly become the most frequent cause of death in the western world, so we must be aware and see a specialist doctor as soon as possible. Medical treatment is always possible.

We must be motivated and change our life habits, get used to exercise, split meals and reduce quantities, adapting them to the needs of our real consumption. Apparently simple, although in reality it is not, most of the time hunger, anxiety, among others, do not allow us to fulfill these objectives, so the doctor will use the appropriate medication for the necessary time, in a personalized, effective and safe way.

This is a very controversial issue that generates little consensus and a lot of passion. 

In this aspect we just want to make reference to some of these plans, indicating that at Clínica Dr Tallon we will provide you with tips that will be specific to your case.

Nowadays there is a lot of talk about,

• Intermittent fasting
• Plant-based diets
• Low-carbohydrate diets.
• Paleo diet
• Mediterranean Diet
• DASH diet
• Among many others…

Our clinic's recommendations generally involve various components of a Mediterranean diet and other aspects of the different approaches mentioned.

It is easy to gain abdominal fat, but very difficult to lose it.

A waist size greater than 102 cm in men and 88 cm in women is considered an indicator of obesity.

The main consequence is a considerable increase in the risk of diabetes, coronary heart disease and even cancer, among many others.

It is very important that we maintain tight and rigorous control over the volume of our waist. It's not easy. It is normally a long-term job. It is a work of persistence. It requires focus and effort.

We do not believe that there is a universal and miraculous product for generic application.

At Clínica Dr Tallon we believe that each case is different. That's why, depending on your history, age, gender, lifestyle and much more, we will design the most effective treatments.

Your goal is to complement your new lifestyle in a safe and healthy way. You will find that the results are fantastic in most cases. Let us never lose sight of long-term goals.

We are often asked the question of how to know if we are at a healthy weight. The fastest and most used way, although not the most correct, is through the BMI (Body Mass Index), which consists of dividing the weight in kilos by the squared height (height x height) in meters, that is, 70kg / 1.63 x 1.63m, for example.
If this value is below 18.5, it means we have a low weight, between 18.5 and 24.9, normal weight, from 25 to 29.9, overweight and over 30, obesity.
In reality, despite being the most used, this formula does not take into account body composition, age or gender, so it is only a guide.
It can give an obesity value for a very muscular person (without being obese) and normal weight for a person with little muscle and a lot of fat (who weighs much less) being, in fact, obese.
The ideal is to measure body composition when there is any doubt or, at least, the waist circumference (abdominal fat) which when it is greater than 102cm in men or 88cm in women, is considered obesity.
The waist/height index is increasingly used, which if it is between 0.65-0.70 increases the risk of health complications by 30% and if it is more than 0.70 the risk increases to 57%.
