A consultation may be helpful if you have repeatedly lost and regained weight, noticed an increasing waist size, or struggled to follow diets that do not fit your routine. You can also seek guidance if you are unsure whether your current weight is affecting your health.
Medical assessment is particularly useful when excess weight occurs alongside type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, fatty liver, high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol or PCOS. If you have thyroid disease or take regular medicines, these should also be considered when planning treatment.
You do not need to arrive with a perfect food diary or a history of successful dieting. Bring your concerns, previous reports and an honest account of what has been difficult.
Your consultation begins with your weight history: when weight gain started, what you have already tried and what you hope to achieve. Dr. Pankaj Kumar reviews your medical history, current medicines, meal patterns, physical activity, sleep and daily schedule.
Weight and body mass index provide useful information, but they do not describe your health completely. Waist measurements, blood pressure and existing medical conditions help put these numbers into context.
Bring any recent blood sugar, HbA1c, cholesterol, liver, kidney or thyroid reports you already have. Further tests may be advised according to your symptoms and clinical findings; everyone does not need the same set of investigations.
Your eating plan should account for the food you enjoy, your household meals, budget and working hours. The discussion may cover portions of roti and rice, protein sources, vegetables, snacks, cooking oil, sweetened drinks and meals eaten outside the home.
There is no universal requirement to stop rice, avoid all carbohydrates or buy special “diet foods.” Depending on your needs, familiar foods such as dal, chana, rajma, curd, paneer, tofu, eggs, fish or chicken can be included in a balanced plan.
The aim is to agree on changes you can repeat during ordinary weeks, including office days, family meals and travel.
Your starting point matters. A person with knee pain, a sedentary job or limited exercise experience needs an activity plan suited to their abilities. Walking, movement breaks and suitable strengthening exercises can be discussed according to your health and fitness.
Follow-up visits provide an opportunity to review what is manageable and adjust the plan as your confidence and capacity improve.
Late working hours, irregular meals, poor sleep and eating in response to stress can make weight management harder. These concerns deserve attention during the consultation. The plan should address the situations in which you struggle, rather than simply asking you to “eat less.”
Not everyone needs weight-loss medication. For suitable patients, prescription treatment may be considered alongside nutrition, activity and behavioural support. The decision depends on your health risks, medical history, current medicines, treatment preferences and the approved indication for the medicine.
If medication is appropriate, the consultation includes its expected benefits, possible side effects, cost and monitoring requirements. Treatment needs regular review and may be long term. Medicines should not be started, shared or stopped without medical advice.
Tell the doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning pregnancy, as this changes the treatment options.
There is no guaranteed number of kilograms that everyone will lose. Your response depends on several factors, including your starting weight, health conditions, treatment and ability to sustain changes.
For many people with overweight or obesity, losing around 5–10% of starting body weight can improve measures such as blood sugar, blood pressure and triglycerides. Your own target should be agreed during consultation.
Progress can also include changes in waist size, walking comfort, fitness and relevant blood reports. Follow-up care should address weight maintenance as well as initial weight loss.
