To be seen by a Weight Management Specialist Dietitian you will need a referral from your Consultant or GP.

Excess weight can put you at an increased risk of:

  • Heart disease
  • Stroke
  • Type 2 Diabetes
  • Some cancers

If your BMI is 30-35kg/m2 then it's above the ideal range and indicates that you are obese.

This means you are heavier than is healthy for someone of your height.

Being obese puts you at a raised risk of health problems including:

  • Heart disease
  • Stroke
  • Type 2 Diabetes
  • Some cancers

Losing weight will bring significant health improvements.

There are many local initiatives that can help people to eat less and move more, as well as deal with some of the underlying issues that contribute to people eating more than they need - such as dealing with stress and anxiety.
