HOW HAND-WASHING TECHNIQUE CAN HELP IMPROVE WEIGHT LOSS

Do you know how to wash your hands properly?  

Do you use the correct hand-washing technique each and every time?

You may think you are a hand-washing angel, but we found a fascinating article in The Conversation with the surprising subject:

“Most people don’t wash their hands properly – here’s how it should be done”

The article triggered an interesting idea, using hand-washing technique as a means to explain both the needs and failures in commonly adopted methods of weight loss and weight management.

There are definite parallels between weight loss and hand-washing. Both dieting and hand-washing have obvious needs and sometimes failures and it is these parallels that we explore in our blog.

This is some critical dieting information, and some very interesting reading....

PHARMACY HAS A SAFE & EFFECTIVE WEIGHT LOSS SOLUTION FOR WORLD’S FATTEST MAN

The “World’s fattest man” is begging for NHS help to save his life according to a current news item in the Mirror newspaper by Adam Aspinall.  



He has already had a gastric bypass, the most drastic of weight loss surgeries available, yet has regained considerable weight.

With further help necessary, does the NHS have any further weight loss options available and can they afford it?


This article explores how people like the world's fattest man, carrying harmful, significant amounts of excess weight and addicted to food, can get help from their local pharmacy.
Pharmacy can offer anyone with excess weight a gold standard approach to weight loss and weight management, and at no cost to the NHS.

HOW TO TACKLE RISING OBESITY AND AVOID FAT-SHAMING

UK pharmacies are lighting the way to a more caring and sensitive approach to tackling obesity and avoiding the regular calls of fat-shaming that hound other weight loss providers and healthcare professionals.

Their Lipotrim pharmacy weight management programme allows for  different approach to weight loss, moving away from the often too simplistic "eat less and exercise more" mantra commonly raising calls of fat-shaming.

Take a look at the full blog post on "How to avoid fat-shaming", written by Lipotrim UK, here:

Pharmacy offers a safe and effective way to lose weight

How do you select your diet choice?

Do you prefer to make online purchases for everything from cosmetics to food? 

Having stumbled across a website for weight loss using a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD). It is of real concern that this on-line diet company is promoting itself as a much better alternative than their perceived competitors, including Lipotrim, a Gold Standard Diet.

What concerned me was their emphasis on the lack of a requirement for monitoring, their diet being a simple transaction to purchase diet formulas with no face-to-face support. In the case of Lipotrim, monitoring by a healthcare professional comes as standard, always through a supervising doctor or pharmacist. The insistence of monitoring by a healthcare professional when following the Lipotrim programme, they suggest, is a great reason for ordering their diet on-line.

It is inconvenient to have to visit a pharmacy or a doctor’s practice isn’t it?     

After all, all you need is a diet shake or a diet bar and you can lose weight?

Pharmacy has the power to tackle obesity with confidence

Pharmacy leads the way on tackling obesity with confidence

The benefit to both patients and the NHS from taking obesity seriously is tremendous. As healthcare professionals, pharmacists and GPs have a duty of care to not only treat obesity related illnesses but to prevent their occurrence in the first place.

The ever rising levels of weight-related medical conditions, from hypertension to type 2 diabetes, seems to be going unchecked. Sugar tax and banning fast-food advertising before the water-shed is a sticking plaster at best. Healthcare professionals are seemingly constrained in their ability to tackle obesity when it comes to effective therapies and it seems a lack of confidence when discussing the subject.

Telling people to eat less and exercise more is not winning the fight against obesity.

Pharmacy is well placed to deal with obesity issues with confidence as this pharmacist, working in a Well Pharmacy branch in London explains through a podcast on the Chemist & Druggist website:

 https://www2.lipotrim.co.uk/lipotrim-helps-pharmacy-treat-obesity-with-confidence/

The podcast sheds a light on the many issues that need addressing when talking to patients about excess weight, including discussing the effective Lipotrim Pharmacy Weight Management Programme.

C&D AWARDS 2019

C&D AWARDS 2019

A HUGE SUCCESS FOR PHARMACY

A few weeks have now passed since the Chemist & Druggist Award ceremony 2019 which drew pharmacists and pharmacy staff from all over the UK.

A celebration of best practice and everything pharmacy can offer, from critical care to how pharmacy goes "Above and beyond", the evening was a huge success. A black-tie event with entertainment and a well organised after-show party, complete with casino, the 2020 C&D Awards ceremony will have to go some way to better 2019.

At Howard Foundation Research, we would like to extend our congratulations to the 14 winners and all those who entered the C&D Awards 2019, and especially to those who offer our Lipotrim programme.

An extra huge well done to Wansford Pharmacy who scooped the GP Partnership of the year award. Their entry included a piece on how they are adding to their essential pharmacy services by offering a comprehensive weight management option, including the Lipotrim Pharmacy Weight Management Programme, through a pharmacist clinic called Waistaway.

GOLD STANDARD DIET

Is LIPOTRIM THE BEST DIET?

"Gold standard”, according to Mosby's Medical Dictionary, is:

“an acknowledged measure of comparison of the superior effectiveness or value of a particular medication or other therapy as compared with that of other drugs or treatments.”

So what makes a diet, a Gold Standard Diet?

The most recent Lipotrim UK and Lipotrim Ireland blogs examine what it takes to be the number 1 diet on the market.

If Lipotrim is not the gold standard diet, what diet is?

It is possible to answer this diet question by truthfully answering the following:

• Which diet is constantly being used as a comparison tool on other commercial diet websites?
• Which diet contains full nutrition at the optimal 425 to 570 Calories per day?
• Which diet upholds true food abstinence?
• Which diet gives very predictable, maximum rate weight losses, and can prove it?
• Which diet incorporates regular, direct healthcare professional contact as standard?
• Which diet maintains value for money in a world of “facelessness”?

Lipotrim is proud to be the weight management Gold Standard for healthcare professionals and the public alike, as it has been for more than 30 years.
