Weight Loss
Our pharmacists can provide expert advice on weight loss, including lifestyle changes, over-the-counter products, and prescription medications. They can also recommend the best treatment for your situation.
To achieve weight loss, it's essential to combine regular exercise with a healthy diet and prioritise getting enough sleep. Consistency in eating healthy and exercising is key.
My Forest Pharmacy - Helping the local community in Totton, Ashurst, Lyndhurst, Marchwood, Dibden Purlieu, Hythe and beyond.
Diet
A healthy diet includes plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
Exercise
Regular physical activity, such as brisk walking, jogging, swimming, or cycling, can help you lose weight.
Alcohol and drinks
Avoid sugary drinks and alcohol, which are high in calories.
Sleep
Disrupted or inadequate sleep can affect your hunger hormones and lead to overeating.
Stress
Chronic stress can lead to emotional eating and changes in hormones.
Reduce Calories
You can reduce your calorie intake by 600 calories a day to lose weight safely and sustainably.
Medication alternatives that can help
There are many weight loss pills available from pharmacies, including prescription and over-the-counter medications:
Orlistat (Xenical, Alli)
An over-the-counter medication that reduces the amount of fat your body absorbs from food. It may be prescribed to patients with a BMI above 30.
Bupropion (Wellbutrin, Zyban)
A medication used for depression and smoking cessation that can also cause weight loss as a side effect.
Mounjaro (Tirzepatide)
A self-injected prescription medication that activates receptors for the hormones GLP-1 and GIP, which can help you feel fuller and reduce cravings.
Saxenda (Liraglutide)
An injectable prescription medication for adults with excess weight (BMI ≥27).
Phentermine-topiramate (Qsymia)
A prescription medication that combines two drugs.
Other weight loss pills include: Semaglutide (Wegovy) and Setmelanotide (Imcivree).
