Every year we see many people start diets with the aim of losing weight, especially after periods like Christmas or with the arrival of New Year's resolutions. However, in our clinical experience, we find that a large proportion of these attempts fail within a few weeks.
From HLA La Salud Cádiz Hospital, we insist that one of the main reasons for early diet abandonment is the lack of medical supervision, along with unrealistic expectations and insufficient attention to emotional factors such as stress or anxiety.
When a diet is started without the support of healthcare professionals, the likelihood of abandoning it increases considerably. These are often overly restrictive plans or quick fixes that do not take individual needs into account.
This not only makes it difficult to maintain results over time, but also favours the well-known “rebound effect,” regaining lost weight and even surpassing it.
In our daily practice, we insist that weight loss should be approached as a progressive, safe, and personalised process.
One of the most important—and often overlooked—factors is emotional health. Stress, anxiety, and frustration directly influence eating behaviour and can lead to what we know as emotional hunger.
That's why, from our team, we consider it fundamental to integrate psychological support within any weight loss strategy. It's not just about changing your diet, but also about understanding what's behind certain habits.
Excess weight is an increasingly widespread health problem. In Andalusia, more than half of the population is overweight or obese, a situation that also significantly affects the province of Cadiz.
This context leads us to reinforce our commitment to prevention and comprehensive treatment, always from a medical approach and based on scientific evidence.
At HLA La Salud Hospital Cádiz, we are committed to a multidisciplinary approach, involving various healthcare professionals: endocrinology, nutrition, psychology, and specialists in physical exercise.
Our experience shows us that there isn't just one diet that works for everyone. The best results are achieved when the treatment is tailored to each patient's individual circumstances, taking into account their habits, their environment, and their emotional state.
From our team, we recommend:
Ultimately, from HLA La Salud Cádiz Hospital we insist that the key to effective weight loss is not in quick fixes, but in a comprehensive, personalised approach supported by professionals.
Only in this way is it possible not only to achieve goals, but to maintain them over time and improve health and quality of life.
