Have you tried various diets and always end up regaining the weight? It's not a lack of willpower. Being overweight and obese can be related to metabolic, hormonal, emotional and lifestyle factors that should be studied before starting any treatment.
According to public health data, more than 700,000 people in the province of Cádiz live with excess weight. It can affect physical, metabolic and emotional well-being, and increase the risk of developing hypertension, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol and other complications. It may be a good time to consult if:
You've lost weight several times, but you always put it back on easily.
You have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, pre-diabetes, diabetes or insulin resistance.
Stress, anxiety, or emotions directly influence how you eat.
You are considering medication for weight loss and want to know if it is suitable for you.
Your doctor has recommended you lose weight and you need clear clinical guidance to get started.
You want to avoid fad diets, quick fixes, or treatments without medical supervision.
Maintaining weight loss in the long term is one of the major challenges in the treatment of overweight and obesity. Many diets are abandoned within weeks due to unrealistic expectations, frustration, stress, or difficulty adapting guidelines to daily life.
That's why, in HLA La Salud Cádiz We don't work with generic plans. We first study your case in depth and then design a realistic, progressive, and truly sustainable strategy over time.
"When designing a weight loss plan, it's not enough to talk about calories or physical exercise; stress, anxiety, and frustration management must also be taken into account, which explain so-called emotional eating.
An increasing number of people are consulting about pharmacological treatments for obesity. They can be a useful tool in certain patients, but they are not for everyone and They should never be taken without medical assessment or follow-up..
In our unit, we are studying whether they are indicated in your case, taking into account your Body mass index (BMI), associated conditions, current medication, medical history, and potential contraindications. When indicated, these treatments are part of a comprehensive plan. The medication may help, but the lasting outcome is built with nutritional education, physical activity, clinical follow-up and work on habits.
A three-phase approach designed to accompany you at every step of your treatment with complete rigour, human warmth, and personalisation.
We analyse your medical history, habits, metabolic state, background, medication and objectives. This initial consultation allows us to accurately determine your starting point with scientific precision and define a safe medical strategy tailored to you.
We design a plan tailored specifically to your individual situation, which may include flexible nutritional guidelines, exercise prescriptions, lifestyle support, and pharmacological treatment when clinically indicated.
We periodically review your progress, adjust your treatment, and work to reduce the risk of a rebound effect. The goal is not just to lose weight, but to maintain the results you've achieved and improve your overall health in the long term.

We resolve the main issues about the consultation and treatments of the Obesity and Overweight Unit.
It depends on your starting point and your health status. A realistic and personalised goal is defined during the consultation. Gradual and supervised weight loss is usually safer and more sustainable in the long term to prevent the rebound effect.
Some pharmacological treatments have rigorous scientific evidence and can be useful in selected patients, but they can also have adverse effects and contraindications. Therefore, they always require prior assessment and follow-up by a specialist doctor.
This depends on the body mass index (BMI), associated conditions (such as hypertension or diabetes), personal history, current medication, and the clinical assessment by our team. Not all patients are candidates or require medication.
Not necessarily. Overly rigid plans are often difficult to maintain and lead to abandonment. The aim at HLA La Salud Cádiz is to design a balanced, flexible diet that is fully compatible with your daily life, habits, and your family, work, and social context.
