Sustainable weight loss typically occurs at 0.5-1kg per week. Most clients see meaningful results within 8-12 weeks of a structured programme. The focus should be on sustainable behaviour change rather than rapid loss, which is more likely to be maintained long-term.

The long-term effects depend on the weight loss program you choose; some programs don’t focus on sustainable weight loss, and so the overall effects could be negligible or even negative to your body and mental health. The best weight loss programs focus on achieving your weight loss goal and sustaining a healthy weight for the foreseeable future. This helps reduce your body’s fat, and can normalise blood sugar levels, and improve your cardiovascular and overall health, helping you live a longer, healthier, and fulfilling life.

Professional weight loss programmes are supervised plans that combine dietary guidance, exercise programming, behavioural coaching, and medical assessment to support sustainable fat loss and improved health. They are delivered by dietitians, nutritionists, personal trainers, GPs, or specialist weight management clinics.

In Australia, dietitians are university-qualified and registered health professionals who can provide medical nutrition therapy and are covered by Medicare and health funds. Nutritionists have a nutrition qualification but varying scopes of practice. For clinical weight management, a dietitian is the recommended choice.
