Why Losing Weight Often Fails, and What Makes Medical Weight Loss Different

You've probably tried a lot: a diet that worked well at first, but after a few months, the weight crept back, accompanied by hunger, relapse, and the feeling that it was due to a lack of willpower. That's rarely the whole story: hormones, your metabolism, and eating habits under stress play just as significant a role – factors over which you have limited control, and which are reason enough not to face it alone.

That's why medical weight loss combines personal coaching with medical guidance, and where appropriate, supportive medication in the form of injections or pills. This is not a quick fix or a crash diet: the medication supports the process while you, together with your doctor and coach, work on behavioral changes that last in the long term.

Which weight loss medication is available in Amsterdam?

At The Body Clinic Utrecht, we work with Ozempic and Wegovy in Utrecht, among others, in addition to Mounjaro and Saxenda: medication that regulates hunger and helps you more easily adhere to a healthier eating pattern. Which medication suits you best depends on your health, goals, and previous experiences, and will be discussed during the doctor's consultation. A complete overview of the medications and current prices can be found on our page about weight loss medications.

Is Medical Weight Loss in Amsterdam Right for You?

Medical weight loss may be suitable if you have a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27-30 with weight-related complaints, and also if you have seriously tried to lose weight multiple times without lasting results. If you fall outside these criteria, it doesn't necessarily have to be an obstacle: during the doctor's consultation, the doctor will look at your overall situation, not just a number, and will honestly advise whether this program is right for you now. There is no right or wrong answer, only what suits you.

Our Approach to Medical Weight Loss in Amsterdam

Every program at The Body Clinic Amsterdam begins with a telephone intake interview with an assistant, followed by a doctor's consultation on-site in Amsterdam or online. Based on this, we draw up a personalized treatment plan that combines medical guidance, potential medication, and a focus on behavioral change. Throughout the program, the doctor remains involved, and you work with a coach on nutrition, exercise, and sustainable habits.

"A lovely clinic with a neat, professional look: a friendly welcome, complete with a cup of coffee. The first impression is immediately positive. Then there’s the free consultation: it can be a bit nerve-wracking the first time, but they take plenty of time to offer expert advice, so you can make an informed decision. Really nice. During the treatment, I was put completely at ease, and afterwards I was given a goodie bag to take home."
