The Importance of a Comprehensive Dietetic Approach to Achieving a Healthy Weight
In addition to dissatisfaction with their appearance, a person who has extra pounds gets health problems. The cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems suffer, diabetes mellitus, gastrointestinal diseases and even oncological diseases develop.
Trying to cope with obesity on their own through the use of strict diets and dietary supplements, a person often harms himself. Even if the diet is effective in terms of weight loss, it can take a toll on the body. Together with extra pounds, vitamins and other useful substances necessary for normal life activity leave the body. Also, rapid weight loss can lead to another problem - sagging skin, which a person cannot get rid of on his own. Therefore, the fight against obesity, like the fight against any disease, requires the participation and constant monitoring of the doctor.
The Family Nutrition Center at the K+31 Clinic with qualified nutritionists will help you turn your wish into reality without harming your health.
Personalized Diet Program for a Healthy Weight
We offer a comprehensive approach to solving your problem - a weight loss program developed by our nutritionists. At its initial stage, you undergo a laboratory and instrumental examination aimed at identifying possible causes of overweight and allowing you to objectively assess your health status.
The examination includes the determination of body composition (amount of fluid, fat and muscle mass) and the level of basal metabolism using the bioimpedance method. Then, together with you, we discuss the features of an individual diet and the possibility of its correction, revealing food addictions.
However, even this personalized nutrition plan is only the first step in a weight management program. As you lose weight, your eating habits and energy needs will change. Therefore, once every 2-4 weeks after the control bioimpedansometry, the diet is corrected.
The fight against obesity is not only a physically difficult process for the patient, but also mentally. Therefore, at any stage of your struggle with excess weight, our specialists are ready to provide you with psycho-emotional assistance.
In our clinic, weight correction is aimed not only at weight loss, but also at its increase. The addition of kilograms is also a rather difficult task, therefore, our specialists apply an integrated approach to its solution.
Change yourself for the better with a special weight management program at K+31 Clinic. Remember: every extra kilogram that you managed to get rid of not only prolongs your life, but also improves your psycho-emotional state, making you happy and self-confident.

This often happens, the thing is that not only the number of kcal is important, but also their sources. For example, for 1200 kcal you can eat one and a half chocolates, which contain mainly sugar and fat (as on a chocolate diet), or you can make a complete diet. The balance of proteins, fats and carbohydrates plays an important role in losing weight.
There is an average norm that suits the majority. A complete diet should include 12-25% protein, about 30% fat, and the rest carbohydrates. Choosing the optimal ratio, it is necessary to take into account the patient's lifestyle and the goal we are striving for.
As a rule, a dietitian looks at a clinical analysis of blood and urine to determine the general condition of the body, and conducts a conversation with the patient. If the specialist suspects that there are some hormonal, metabolic, or cholesterol and carbohydrate metabolism disorders, additional tests may be prescribed.
It happens that a patient comes in who has a normal body mass index, but at the same time there is a lot of fat in the body, this is diagnosed using bioimpedancemetry - a diagnostic that determines body composition.
In modern dietology, it is believed that a standard vitamin-mineral complex, where the content of vitamins and minerals does not exceed 100% of the daily requirement, can be taken.
Consider the example of the 50s. At that time, the norm for women was about 3500 kcal per day. If a modern girl eats so much and at the same time “does not live” in the gym, leads an office lifestyle, she is likely to gain a lot of weight. Today, daily physical activity and the need for calories consumed have decreased, the amount of food needed has decreased accordingly, and the amount of vitamins and minerals that a person receives has also become smaller, although the need for them has remained. Therefore, standard vitamin complexes can be prescribed. The main thing is a reasonable approach and the right dosages.
Most often, this reaction is associated with hormonal changes in the thyroid gland, when there is insulin resistance and elevated levels of insulin or cortisol. And until we get the body working, the weight can “stand”.
The first reason for the appearance of hunger is psychological, in this case, a person seizes fears and anxiety, there is some unresolved problem. It can be either explicit or hidden. In this case, the help of a psychologist or psychotherapist may be needed.
The second reason is a disruption in the work of hormones, if there is a suspicion of a failure, a nutritionist can refer you to an endocrinologist.
Indeed, there is a genetic predisposition to be overweight. Genes are responsible for it, which make it easier for the body to “recruit”, for example, the FTO gene. He is also responsible for the control of consumed portions. A person with this gene will experience a feeling of fullness from food much later and “overload”, respectively, the amount of food consumed is higher.
There is a FABP2 gene, it encodes the absorption of fat in the intestines, the PPARG gene, which determines the rate of increase in fat cells. With a certain combination of polymorphisms (changes) in the genes, we have a genetic predisposition to more rapid weight gain. The presence of gene polymorphisms is determined by a genetic test.
