Weight Management
The World Health Organisation (WHO) defines obesity based on Body Mass Index (BMI). The definition of obesity among Singaporeans and Caucasians is BMI =27.5 and BMI =30 respectively.
When it comes to losing weight, small steps can make an impact. It is important for you and your doctor to develop a plan that helps ensure that you stay on track to get the most out of your treatment. Together, you should set attainable goals for your weight and health within a realistic time frame. Your plan should include eating healthy and staying active.

How do you lose weight and keep the weight off？
In many cases, losing weight boils down to exercise and diet management. Some people who have successfully lost weight end up regaining it later. You may wonder why it is so hard to maintain weight loss.
One of the reasons is because changes in your appetite hormone levels make it difficult to lose weight and keep it off. When you lose weight, your body’s natural response includes an increase in a key hunger hormone known as ghrelin and a decrease in fullness hormones, undermining your ability to lose weight and keep it off.
Also, your body goes into an energy saving mode and burns fewer calories. This can slowly lead to the lost weight being regained.
For adults who:
- Have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or more; or
- Whose BMI exceeds 27 and have a weight-related condition, such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes, you may wish to seek help from your doctor to develop a plan to lose weight. Together, you should set attainable goals for your weight and health within a realistic time frame. Your plan should include eating healthy and staying active.
