Weight Management
Taking care of you
Being a healthy and happy weight is important to us all.
And although many will have their own weight targets and goals, getting
there can be easy for some and harder for others.
Losing and maintaining a healthy weight doesn’t have to be difficult
though.
At your local Mayberry Pharmacy you’ll find our team of healthcare
professionals are there to help you reach the healthy weight you want to
be. With friendly, expert advice and effective treatment aids we’ll support
you along the way and help you reach your goals.
What does a weight management consultation involve?
Your pharmacist will sit down with you in a private consultation room and
ask you some questions about your general health and diet. They might
check your blood pressure - just to get a clearer picture of your health before taking a measurement of your weight. They will then explain how
your current weight relates to your health using a height/weight chart and
offer advice on changes that may help you. They can also discuss with you
some of the supplements available that may support you if you need to lose
weight to improve your health.

Are there products that can help me lose weight?
Yes. Mayberry Pharmacy is one of the region’s only
providers of the Lipotrim Maximum Rate Weight Loss
Programme. This clinical diet plan is only available
through GP surgeries and pharmacies and when
followed properly can help participants lose a
stone a month.
The programme uses Lipotrim Total Food
Replacement products, which are low in calories but
nutritionally complete, in place of your regular meals as well as weekly visits to your local Mayberry Pharmacy to monitor your
progress and give you suppport.
At each visit, your pharmacist will measure your weight and give you the
support and encouragement you need to stick to the programme. They will
also give you your weekly supply of Lipotrim foods. Once you’ve reached
your healthy target weight, your pharmacist will help you switch back to eating
ordinary, nutritious foods and introduce you to Lipotrim Maintenance products
to help you maintain your new weight.
To make sure you are suitable for the programme your pharmacist will carry
out a free weight management consultation with you first, which gives you the
opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

Being a healthy, happy weight doesn’t
have to mean looking like a supermodel!
Here’s some other big myths and tips
about weight, which can help you lead a
more healthy life.
Carbohydrates make you put on weight?
Eaten in the right quantities
carbohydrates will not make you put on
weight. In fact your body needs them as
they are an important form of engery.
Don’t skip breakfast!
Some people skip breakfast because they
think it will help them lose weight. But
research shows that eating breakfast can
help people control their weight!
Running is better than walking?
Not according to research. Walking is just
as good for you, can help in maintaining
a healthy body weight and impacts less
upon your joints so dig out those walking
boots!
Missing meals helps you lose weight?
If you miss meals you stop your metabolism working properly so it slows
down. Eating the right size meals & snacks will help you lose the pounds.
