FAQ’s

How do I lose weight?

Losing weight starts with a proper medical assessment by a doctor. This is important to be able to plan and adapt what needs to be done in your specific case to achieve the results needed. The doctor will review your baseline medical conditions and the also monitor progress of these (if indicated your medication will be adapted). Only then the Inbody assessment is done to also combine with the planning of your program. After these has been discussed with you, your eating plan as well as the science behind the change of eating habit and foods are discussed with you.

How quickly can I lose all the weight?

Weight loss is not a sprint, it is a marathon of well-planned eating changes, food use and repeated follow ups to re-assess progress. Starvation diets and fad diets don’t give long term results. Quick fixes only work for a short period and is not very effective.

Will injections make me lose weight quicker?

There is proof that specific medications enhance weight loss. However not changing your habit and using these at the wrong times will be detrimental to your health and prevent you from changing from overweight to a normal weight for ever. It will be short lived and may result in recurrent weight gain later.

Will the sculpting injections help?

Yes, they help to break down fat. They however don’t work well for sustained permanent weight loss. Used at the wrong time they only have about 15-20% success, where getting them injected by a professional at the right time has a success of 80-90% with a progressive effect as well. The medical professional can then advise on other modalities as well.

So, when do I start my diet?

The answer is easy, never! After seeing the doctor, you change when you eat, what you eat, how much you eat and when to snack.

From joining the AGJ weight loss program, you don’t ever follow a diet. You change to a sustainable eating habit with the correct calorie intake to sustain you. The motto is “eat for fuel”.

How is it structured?

The start is a planned weight loss initial phase, then a maintenance phase. If you desire body sculpting it will happen in the maintenance phase.

If I don’t lose weight what then?

If the planned program doesn’t induce weight loss various medical addons will be started.
If all these modalities fail an DNA swab will be done and a genetic profile done to acerating why you don’t lose as you should.

  • Introduction to Aesthetics

    I visited Dr G a few times in the past year or two for cosmetic Botox injections. Dr G has always been very kind, informative and professional during our consultations. The procedures were pain and scar free and done with much caution and precision. I strongly recommend Dr G for any aesthetic procedures.

  • Introduction to Aesthetics

    I received cosmetic Botox, dermal fillers, and micro needling from Dr G during the past two years. I find him to be professional, caring, affordable and transparent regarding the cost, treatment, and results. I feel at ease during the procedures and have been more than happy with the results. I would strongly recommend him to anyone considering aesthetic procedures.

  • Introduction to Aesthetics

    I need to have a joint replacement done. The orthopaedic surgeon told me to lose 20Kg before the operation can be done. Since I have been on the weight loss program and injections, I have lost 11.5Kg in 10 weeks. This really works, I feel better, and I will be able to have my operation before the year is out.
