Losing weight is more than a test of self-control. The human body perceives weight loss as a danger to its existence. Historically, shedding pounds signaled starvation, not a conscious choice to diet. Consequently, the body mounts a powerful defense to preserve its fat stores and restore any lost weight.
Following weight loss, there are major shifts in hormones that regulate appetite. The hormones responsible for stimulating hunger rise, while those that signal fullness decline. As a result, you may feel persistently more hungry, even when following a nutritious diet. These hormonal shifts can persist for months, and in some cases, over a year. Simultaneously, your body's resting metabolism slows down, becoming more efficient at using energy. This metabolic adaptation is a survival response, designed to conserve energy in what the body perceives as a period of food scarcity.
In Germany, carrying excess weight is a widespread issue. For women, significant weight gain often occurs around the onset of perimenopause, with the prevalence of being overweight increasing thereafter. For men, however, weight gain frequently becomes a concern much earlier, often beginning after the age of 25.
Beyond the daily inconveniences, carrying excess weight poses a significant long-term health threat. Obesity is linked to nearly 8% of cancer cases and significantly elevates the risk for major conditions like cardiovascular diseases (including heart disease and stroke), type 2 diabetes, and musculoskeletal problems such as osteoarthritis. These ailments often lead to premature death and substantial disability. Consequently, addressing obesity is critically important. While many weight loss methods exist, the key is to find a sustainable way to maintain your goal weight, as the risk of regaining weight after short-term or drastic diets is very high. For this reason, a proper strategy and ongoing support are essential for lasting success.

Our Prevention strategy addresses tailored exercises, nutrition, sleep, mental health and if necessary support by supplement and medication.
