Weight Loss & Consulting with an Online GP

9
January 2025

Each year, many Australians set weight loss goals during the summer months of January and February, aligning with New Year's resolutions and the desire to improve health during the warmer season. This period often sees a surge in individuals seeking effective weight management strategies.

If you are overweight, you are not alone. According to the latest data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, approximately 65.8% of adults in Australia are classified as overweight or obese. Managing weight effectively often begins with small, sustainable changes at home, such as healthy meal planning, regular exercise, staying hydrated with water instead of sugary drinks, and maintaining consistent portion sizes and mealtimes. However, losing weight can be challenging for many reasons.

If you are struggling to lose weight, an online GP can provide personalised and needs-based support, from refining at-home strategies to exploring modern and effective medicated weight loss options.
