Why Should You Look After Your Weight?
Achieving a sustainable and healthy weight should be the cornerstone of good health for all people. Numerous studies have proven that people who are able to maintain a healthy weight balance throughout their adult life can expect a healthier life that includes:

• Longevity
• The potential to avoid and/or reverse many lifestyle related illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease and hypertension
• A reduced need for medications
• More energy
• Reduced joint damage
• Healthier pregnancies with fewer complications and healthier babies

Why not view our latest weight control articles from our online magazine Chewing The Fat, or give Dr Naras a call to discuss the benefits that the correct weight can have on your life.

Why Come & See Dr Naras?

For many people however, achieving and maintaining a healthy weight can be a difficult and frustrating challenge. Although there are numerous weight loss options, many are only successful in the short term as they are restrictive and unsustainable.

Weight loss medications often have undesirable side effects and most over-the-counter products just dont work. Exercise alone is great for fitness but often without significant changes to body weight.

At The Body Doctor, we specialise in realistic, personalised and sustainable weight management plans that allow you to achieve and maintain the weight you desire. Interested in finding out more? Then just give Dr Naras a call today or click on the 'Make an Enquiry' button to organise your next treatment.

Weight Control Testimonials

Thank you so much for your excellent guidance giving me both the information and support to achieve my goal. Each year leading up to my 50th birthday meant another kilogram (or two) in body weight, an increasing challenge in finding clothes to feel comfortable and look great in and a resulting loss of self confidence
Pip D Healthcare Professional


My unhealthy eating patterns and steady increase in weight has affected me for the past couple of years. I thought about it and became increasingly frustrated, but never did anything about it. The Body Doctor has given me support, relevant information and a great foundation for changing those destructive patterns

Its been a year since our first consultation and the changes that have happened have been pretty awesome thanks to a lot of help from The Body Doctor, the best weight loss Sydney program Ive ever encountered. Having spent the majority of my life overweight with a great deal of inherited bad eating traits, Naras offered professional and realistic dietary advice that was easy to implement

• Binge eating, or uncontrollable eating even when not physically hungry
• Eating faster than normal
• Eating alone due to shame and embarrassment
• Feelings of guilt due to overeating
• Preoccupation with body weight
• Depression or mood swings
• Awareness that your eating patterns are not normal
• Weight gain
• History of weight fluctuations
• Withdrawal from activities because of embarrassment about weight
• History of many different unsuccessful diets
• Eating little in public, but maintaining a high body weight
• Low self esteem and feeling the need to eat larger and larger volumes of food

Food Addiction Testimonials

After struggling with binge-eating and weight gain for most of my adult life, I genuinely felt there was nothing more I could do to attempt to control it. It honestly feels that Dr Lapsys has been a miracle worker. Not only has he shown real empathy and understanding from the start, he has equipped me with real, practical long-term solutions to manage my bingeing tendencies and curb my inclination towards bad eating habits. I am truly grateful."

I have struggled with my weight for about 10 years now and have seen various dietitians, done Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers more times than I can count. A friend told me about The Body Doctor and I thought Id give it a go. Well, I have lost almost 10kg and my goal weight is in sight for the first time in literally a decade! Naras does it differently firstly he spends time with you at every session and doesnt see you for just 5 minutes which is the norm. He listens to what your problems are with food and he gives you strategies for dealing with your issues."
