DIETS DON’T WORK

If you’re over 40 and overweight, you probably know that diets don’t work. In fact that’s probably why you’re here.

As a weight loss doctor, every day I meet women who tell me similar stories about diets that might have worked in their twenties or thirties (but even then, the weight always came back) but as they got older, the diets stopped working at all. Even going to the gym regularly didn’t seem to make a difference.

THE LAST CHANCE

For women in this situation, their weight is slowly increasing, they’re frustrated and don’t know what to do next and that’s when they come and see me.

My name is Dr. Khandee Ahnaimugan, but you can call me Dr. K. I am a medically qualified doctor, and at my weight loss clinic in Harley Street, London, I help women over 40 to lose weight and keep it off, using a behavioural programme.

Many clients refer to visiting my clinic as their “last chance saloon”. They’re fed up with struggling with their weight on their own.

HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT WITHOUT DIETING

If you want to lose weight, it’s time to abandon the usual fad diet approaches that everyone else tries and fails with. You know that they don’t work for you.

If you want to be slim and healthy, you have to change your entire approach. You have to abandon the diet mentality and start thinking about how to achieve long-term behaviour change.

You don’t just want to lose weight. You want to lose weight and keep it off. You need to ensure that the changes you make are sustainable and realistic.

MY RECENT CLIENTS

• A 58 year old teacher who lost 27 pounds in 5 months, after 20 years of failed diets.




• A 49 year old CEO who lost 3.5 stone and has maintained it for over a year so far.




• A 54 year old homemaker who lost 2 stone to become her lightest weight in 25 years.




• A 69 year old retired psychotherapist who had struggled with her weight for 40 years, but managed to lose 22 pounds even during a 7 month period when she holidayed in Italy three times.




• A 53 year old judge who lost 21 pounds without compromising on her love of food.

Look at any other weight loss programme and see how many of their success stories are women in the 45 – 65 age group. You won’t find many (or maybe none at all) because it’s much harder for a woman over 40 to succeed with the average diet or exercise plan.
