Exercise Therapy

Does your weight becomes static and you feel like you hit a wall after the initial few kilos of weight loss? Has your weight loss attempts hit a plateau? Do you experienced poor results despite your best dieting efforts?

If you have, don't fret, as you belong to a large proportion of dieters out there in the world that are misguided about weight loss. Here's the secret which a lot of people do not know that is stumbling their weight loss efforts:

BY eating less and NOT exercising, you can lower your metabolic rate i..e. crash your metabolism and therefore reduce your caloric output! In other words, you burn less fat! No wonder you hit a wall and can feel lethargic and weak from a diet that has no medical evidence to back. In some occasions, there might even be a weight gain!

A powerful combo for an effective fat loss is a combination of diet that includes several small meals and an exercise routine that all rounded in aerobic and musculoskeletal training. Exercise increases your metabolic rate and results in more fat burn, even when you sleep! It is important to know that different exercises are relevant at different phases of weight loss. It is therefore beneficial to recieve proper guidiance. At Reves Clinic, our exercise program is tailored according to your lifestyle and work demands, and focused on aerobic training and musculoskeletal fitness. Aerobic training boosts your cardiovascular fitness and maximizes your caloric output according to your level of fitness. While musculoskeletal training increases your muscular mass which decreases your fat percentage mass and augments your metabolic rate.

 

Pharmacotherpy and Supplementation
Powerful boosters to weight loss!

Both meal supplementation and pharmacotherapy are excellent for achieving short term weight loss. However they are not meant for long term use because of the risk of side-effects. Therefore ultimately a lifestyle change, in your diet and activity, is still warranted to ensure long term weight maintenance or weight loss.

In Reves, we take care of both short term and long term goals in weight loss. That means we want you to lose weight as fast as possible without compromising your health and at the same maintain the weight loss as long as possible!

The meal supplements used in Reves Clinic is safe, affordable and medically proven for good results! All drugs used for weight loss are backed by strong scientific evidence for safety and efficacy. Both of these are effective and safe as it is prescribed along with the close medical supervision of our doctors.
