Dr Mazhar Hussain’s approach to weight loss is different from many doctors and clinics. The focus is on diagnosis and education of the patient.

There are multiple causes of weight gain. The causes of weight gain may therefore, surprise many people:

1. Aggressive and misleading marketing

Hidden Sugar In Your Food?:

• • Highly processed food, that is very harmful to the human body, is marketed as being healthy using words such as :
    • Whole grain and multi grain
    • Natural
    • No added sugar
    • Various ingredients are used to cover up the sugar-content, such as maltose, fruit nectar and more.
    • Targeting children and teenagers in marketing, making it enjoyable and harmless to have junk food

2. Highly processed/engineered foods

Nutrition Label Explained:

• • Food that is designed to give instant satisfaction
  • Often high glycemic index that will trigger cravings
  • High in fructose with less appetite suppression
  • High in other sugars for instant satisfaction

3. Sugar is addictive and we crave it more

Where Is The Sugar?:

• • Both drugs and sugars stimulate the opiate receptors in the reward centre  of the brain, increasing dopamine along with it.
  • Opiate receptor stimulation and dopamine release both lead to feeling “high”.
  • A “high” that you want to re-experience leading to you to seek out sugar.
  • The body’s response to increased uptake of sugar reduces, and less dopamine is released.
  • More sugar is required to experience the same “high”.
  • A vicious addictive cycle is formed.

4. Insulin is a major factor

Insulin is a major factor:

With weight gaining, a vicious cycle of high intake of carbohydrates leads to increased insulin, which in turn leads to insulin resistance and higher levels of insulin. Keep in mind that insulin is a;

• • Fat sparing hormone
  • Fat storage hormone

5. Leptin resistance

   • Produced by fat cells.
   • In healthy people, leptin suppresses appetite.
   • In leptin resistance the appetite suppression is not as effective, possibly because it does not cross the blood-brain barrier.

6. Lack of information, incorrect information and biased information

   • Deliberately biased research and information
     • Major food producers sponsor research on food and nutrition. It may be reasonable to assume that the researchers could be biased or set up the protocol seeking out specific outcomes.
     • Researchers are invited to conferences and congresses sponsored by the food industry.
     • Editors of major publications are sponsored by the food industry and the pharmaceutical industry.

However, this is not a comprehensive list of all the causes behind weight gain and obesity. But it does provide an insight to the complexities of fighting weight gain.

Dr Mazhar Hussain has introduced a Doctor Led Weight Loss (DLWL) program consisting of the following:

• A 30 minutes consultation where a weight loss program is introduced and blood tests are taken. Please make sure to bring any previous work-up.
• A 3 hours Educational Session with Dr Mazhar Hussain to explain the dynamics of weight gain and weight loss.
• If financially possible for the patient, he/she will be equipped with a Continuous Glucose Monitoring device for 2-4 weeks to learn how the body works and how to lose weight with instant feedback.
• A personal treatment plan for weight loss, specifically tailored to each patient.
• Monitoring the progress.

We need to know if the weight is due to any underlying medical condition or if the weight gain is causing any medical issues. If you understand the intrinsic factors causing weight gain, you will have a much better chance of losing weight than if you are blindly following a meal plan.

Patients story:

A young woman in her 30’s came to see Dr Mazhar Hussain for hair loss. During the initial conversation it appeared that she was suffering from severe fatigue, depression, and weight gain. Sleeping only 2-3 hours a night and being incapable of continuing her studies due to these symptoms. She had been to too many doctors and other health care professionals, but no-one bothered to actually do an investigation. Dr Mazhar Hussain changed the focus from hair loss to her general well-being and health – which can have a serious impact on hair growth as well.

Dr Mazhar Hussain ordered a range of tests showing:

Severe vitamin D deficiency, diabetes, severe folic acid deficiency, increased inflammation, anaemia and deranged lipid-values. A seriously diseased body that is taking a great toll on the patients’ health and well-being, including the hair.

A treatment plan was set up and within 2 months the patient slowly started losing weight, going hiking and getting much better in general. As her health improves, her hair may very well improve. If needed, then hair specific treatment may be initiated.
