Did you know that real world success with weight loss medications is not always as good as the clinical trials?

Most trials had a Dietitian delivering food literacy and basic habit change training, supporting participants regularly during the trial period and providing the structure required to eat well and exercise.

In real world settings a dietitian can help increase the success of medication assisted weight loss :

-          Manage side effects such as nausea and bloating during dosing increases

-          Maximise muscle retention during weight loss ( 10% muscle mass can be lost during weight loss, equivalent to 20 years of aging.)

-          Avoid or treat nutrient depletions and malnutrition

-          Show you how to regulate appetite and manage cravings if medications are discontinued

- Help you get and stay organised around food and eating

-          Coach you through lapses and phases of low motivation and teach you to do it yourself
