Introduction

Did you know that nearly three fourths of the UAE’s

population is battling with obesity – which has been termed
as a silent killer by the World Health Organisation (WHO)?
Did you know that nine out of 10 cases of obesity develop
into diabetic cases? Did you know that obesity is clearly
becoming an epidemic which needs urgent attention?

Some of the health problems associated with obesity include

Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer, stroke, back and joint
pain, osteoarthritis, high blood pressure, gallstones, fatty liver,
infertility, breathlessness, depression, snoring, difficulty in
sleeping and excessive sweating.

Not many are aware that obesity not only affects the adults
but also children, who incidentally are even more vulnerable,
primarily because of the likelihood of growing up to become
obese adults. Studies indicate that obesity is more likely to
persist when its onset is in late childhood or adolescence and
where children have obese parents.

Problems associated with excess weight in children and

adolescence includes heat intolerance, breathlessness on
exertion, tiredness, and flat feet.

Seven years ago VLCC took the first step to put up a united
fight against the scourge of obesity. There was no distinct
movement to address the issue or day to commemorate the
struggle against obesity. With the active involvement of the
medical fraternity, VLCC designated November 26 as the
‘Anti Obesity Day –which it observes every year in India and
the UAE.

The Group drives a mission led awareness campaign to

promote its Anti Obesity mantra. The underlying message
is that an individual can chose to say no to the scourge by
instilling discipline into one’s lifestyle – and enjoy its benefits.
The campaign educates the general public on developing
healthy habits for an active lifestyle through dietary
recommendations, activities and simple lifestyle tips.

VLCC leads the effort with a series of initiatives that include

public service message using health camps, workshops,
mass counseling, mass media, talk shows, interviews, special
literature etc to take the message across the public. The
Anti Obesity Day campaign runs throughout the month of
November every year.
Who we are and what we do

With more than 120 centres and over a million customers,

VLCC has achieved an iconic status, and is easily the biggest
and the most recognised wellness brand to have emerged out
of the Indian subcontinent.

In essence, a Slimming, Skin and Hair Services brand, VLCC

has built its reputation on, and is widely known for, its highly
effective scientific weight-loss solutions and the therapeutic
approach of its beauty services. However, the company’s
interests, services and offerings span a lot more across the
health and beauty segments.

VLCC also manages a chain of education and training centres

the VLCC Institute of Beauty, Health & Management. VLCC
Institutes, as they are called, provide technical training not only
to students wishing to take up beauty and nutrition as a career
but also impart training to professionals in the related fields
wishing to upgrade their skills. In addition, VLCC has its own
exclusive line of over 100 herbal/ayurvedic skin-care, hair-care
and body-care products as well as a range of functional foods
like fortified honey and isabgol, a dietary fibre supplement.

Having achieved leadership status in India, with more than 120

VLCC slimming, beauty and fitness centres in 62 cities, 15
VLCC institues in 12 cities and a nationwide retail distribution
network for its VLCC personal care range of herbal/ayurvedic
cosmetics, the brand is now fast establishing its presence in
international markets. In 2005 VLCC opened its first centre in
the Middle East, in Dubai and hasn’t looked back since. The
company currently operates seven centres across the UAE
(five in Dubai and one each in Sharjah and Abu Dhabi). With
more centres to open in the near future and plans to expand to
Muscat, Bahrain, Kuwait and UK, VLCC is going global.
Get started on healthy tips

Think positive. Believe that you will lose weight. Think about
yourself, your physical and mental well-being. Imagine a
slimmer, fitter you; it always works. Take some pictures of
yourself and put them up around the house. Put one on the
refrigerator door, it will serve as a constant reminder and
will strengthen your resolution to lose weight. Looking at
the picture every once in a while during the course of your
programme will inspire you to continue.

Close your eyes and imagine yourself, the way you want to
look. Do this as often as possible, self-visualisation is a very
powerful tool. Give it a try, everything is worth a try. Imagine
yourself getting around without getting out of breath, no more
pulled muscles, no more indigestion, people smiling at you,
the way you look, as you walk by. Treat yourself every once in
a while. Put a little money away every time you resist a food
craving and then go and splurge on something that will make
you feel special, like a new outfit or make-up. Remember, you
are losing weight for more than just your appearance. You
are losing it for the experiences that will come after you have
achieved your goal. Always stay focused on why you are
doing it. The beauty of the whole experience is that you will
never know how good it feels until you get there.
Foods to eat, foods to avoid

Fats, Oil and Sweets, Red Meat & Refined

Carbohydrates
• Use sparingly
• Restrict adding fats to foods while cooking or at the table
like butter, margarine, gravy, salad dressing, spread
• Avoid foods that are high in sugar like candy, jelly, honey,
sweet deserts and soft drinks
• Avoid the use of pork, mutton and other organ meat
• Foods like refined wheat flour, white bread and polished
rice, which are highly refined and low in vitamins & minerals,
should be used less frequently
• Cut down on convenience foods like biscuits, pastries
and cakes, as they are rich in invisible fat and refined
carbohydrates

Whole Cereals, Wholemeal Bread, Brown Rice

• To get the fibre you need, choose servings made from
whole grains, e.g. wholemeal flour, wholemeal bread,
porridge, wheat flakes, oat meal, brown rice etc.
• Supplement wheat flour with black bengal flour/soya flour/
bran to incorporate fibre
• Do not sieve flour

Milk, Yoghurt, Cheese

• Choose skimmed milk and non-fat yoghurt
• 75–100 g of cottage cheese/200 g of yoghurt supply the
same amount of calcium as 1 cup of milk
• Read labels while purchasing packaged milk products

Meat, Poultry, Fish & Nuts

• Choose lean meat (poultry without skin) and fish
• Prepare meat dishes the low-fat way, i.e. boil, roast or grill
instead of frying
• Use egg-white instead of whole egg
• Nuts are high in fat, so eat them in moderation
Whole Pulses/Sprouts
• Whole pulses, sprouts provide adequate quantity of fibre,
minerals and vitamins. These also provide protein and can
be used in place of meat for vegetarians
• Choose soya products such as soya cottage cheese, soya
milk and soya yoghurt

Fruits
• Choose fresh fruits, instead of canned or frozen ones in
heavy syrups and sweetened fruit juices
• Eat whole fruits often – they are higher in fibre content than
fruit juices
• Punches, ales and most fruit drinks contain only a little juice
and lots of added sugar, may be avoided

Vegetables
• Different types of vegetables provide different nutrients
• Seasonal vegetables have a highest nutrient content. Use
raw vegetables as salads
• Eat plenty of green leafy vegetables. They are specially
good sources of vitamins and minerals
• Cook vegetables lightly by steaming or stir-frying
 Restrict on the fat you add to vegetables at the table or
during cooking
Gear-up for a neutral eating habit
• Avoid acid forming foods

• Certain foods like sausages, nuts, macaroni and even

chicken and spaghetti are acidic in nature

• Take alkaline foods

• Foods of the alkaline range are primarily plant derived. The

most effective are spinach, molasses, celery, carrots and
dried beans

• To put your body in the neutral state, increase your fruits
and vegetable intake

• Raisins, when soaked in water at night and consumed in

the morning, are an excellent way to combat acidity
Eat right

• Never skip a meal. You will tend to overeat at the next

meal. Instead, have smaller, more frequent meals at regular
intervals
• Always have breakfast, as it is the most important meal
of the day. It is that time of the day when your nutrient
requirements are the highest and a proper breakfast will
energise you throughout the day
• Don’t fall asleep soon after dinner, as sleep slows down the
body’s metabolism and you tend to burn fewer calories and
accumulate fat. Instead, have a light and early dinner and
give yourself a 2 to 3 hour gap before going to bed

Add fibre to your diet

• Include a lot of fruits and fresh vegetables in your diet; these

not only detoxify the body but are good for the skin too
• Substitute fruit juice with actual fruit, for fibre in your diet
• Never overcook vegetables. They are healthiest when
eaten raw
• The skin of fruits and vegetables, like apples and
cucumber, are good for you. Remember to wash them
before consumption
• Choose whole grain cereals, wholemeal bread, whole
pulses and brown rice instead of highly refined alternatives
Healthy Cooking

• Avoid frying foods; instead grill, steam, or boil food to

minimise fat content
• Wash vegetables before chopping them to prevent loss of
water soluble nutrients like Vitamin C, Riboflavin, Thiamin
and Niacin
• Avoid use of baking soda while cooking pulses and
vegetables as soda inhibits the absorption of calcium
and vitamins
• Avoid repeated washing of rice and pulses, as valuable
nutrients are lost in the process
• Preserve vitamins in food by cooking whole vegetables in
their skin
• Substitute cream with skimmed yoghurt, as it contains
less fat
• Seasonal vegetables and fruits have the highest nutrient
content so include them in your diet as often as possible
• Use non-stick cookware and minimise the oil content in
your food
How to order when eating out

• Eat something healthy before going out, so you will not be

tempted to eat more when at the restaurant
• Read the menu carefully to judge which are the least
fatty foods
• Choose clear soups instead of creamy ones. Clear soups
are just as nutritious and filling but don’t contain as much
fat
• Green salads and veggies with low fat dressings are
deliciously refreshing and contain lesser fat. Lemon juice,
salt pepper and vinegar are great low-fat dressings. Avoid
potato and macaroni salads, as they are high in calories
• Choose grilled, steamed or poached foods over those with
rich, creamy gravy/sauces
• Choose ‘tandoori roti’, ‘romali roti’, ‘missi roti’ or
wholemeal Arabic bread (Brown Khubus) over breads with
high butter content
• Grilled items like tandoori chicken, baked fish, tofu with
tomato sauce and paneer ‘tikka’ make great entrees
• Specify that you would prefer as little use of butter and oil in
your dishes
• Try to resist ordering dessert, but if you must, then choose
fresh fruit or frozen yoghurt
• While travelling for business or pleasure, pre-plan meals
and snacks to reduce stress and to keep your energy high.
Take along mineral water, iced tea, vegetable juice and
some low fat snacks like wholemeal sandwiches, salad and
fresh fruits
Food Myths

Myth 1: Juices help reduce weight and cut calorie intake.

Fact: J uices are concentrated sources of energy and

have added sugar content. Eating whole fruit
would be more beneficial for your health.

Myth 2: Refined oils are 99% fat free.

Fact:  ll refined oils are 99% fat free, irrespective of

A
their composition and trade name. 1 teaspoon of
refined oil gives 45 Cal.

Myth 3: Honey is good for weight loss.

Fact:  oney consists of 75% sugar (glucose & fructose)

H
and 25% water. It increases the blood sugar and
provides 3 Cal per gram of honey.

Myth 4: Refined oil is preferable to ghee or butter.

Fact: The ideal combination of oil should be as follows:

PUFA:MUFA:SFA = 1:1:1
PUFA (sunflower oil/safflower oil)
MUFA (olive oil/mustard oil/groundnut oil)
SFA (ghee/butter)

Myth 5: Toasted bread has less calories than the normal

bread.

Fact:  oasting bread only converts starch into dextrins.

T
The caloric count however remains the same, i.e.,
1 slice of bread = 70 Cal.
Myth 6: Healthy food means bland food.
Fact: This is not true. Traditional spices provide the
necessary taste and flavour to the food. At the
same time, they are rich in micronutrients, anti-
oxidants and fibre. There is no reason to avoid
spices, unless they are not tolerated. The only
restrictive feature of a healthy diet is its low salt and
fat content.

Myth 7: Fat content of milk may be reduced by

adding water.

Fact: If water is added, all other nutrients in milk also

get diluted. Skimming is the best way to remove
fat from the milk. Other nutrients are retained in
skimmed milk.

Myth 8: Low calorie foods can be eaten in

unlimited amounts.

Fact:  ven low calorie foods have calories which add up

E
and must be burned off regardless of what kind of
food we eat. Balance is the key to success.

Myth 9: Buttermilk has carbohydrates only.

Fact:  uttermilk is a very good source of

B
proteins and calcium.
Water helps keep fat away

Water is the key part of any weight-loss programme. You

should drink at least 10-12 glasses of water everyday. It is
essential for you as it helps to reduce fat but is good for your
overall health

The benefits of water are manifold:

• It helps suppress your appetite
• It reduces build up of sodium in your body
• It reduces fluid retention. It is when your body does not get
enough water that it starts retaining fluids
• It reduces fat deposits
• It helps maintain proper muscle tone
• It helps your body get rid of waste and toxins
• It relieves constipation

Among other fluids, fresh lime water should be preferred.

Fresh lime soda (without sugar), buttermilk, coconut water,

vegetable juice and clear soups are also recommended for a
healthy body.

Start your meals with one of the above or just a glass of

plain water.
Water Retention

Water retention happens when excess water gets stored

in the tissue spaces between cells. It is caused due to the
following factors:

(a)  alt intake – restrict consumption of Sodium in

S
your diet. Foods high in Sodium will cause
water retention.

(b) Hormonal imbalance.

(c)  re menstrual retention – Pre menstrual retention

P
of water can be minimised by drinking plenty
of water, maintaining an active programme and
restricting your salt intake.

Foods with high sodium content

You should avoid the following items if on a low Sodium diet:

• Salt
• Baking Powder
• Bicarbonate of Soda
• Mono-Sodium Glutamate (Ajinomoto)
• Cheese
• Bacon, ham, sausages, dried fish
• Meat and yeast extracts like marmite
• Salted chips, nuts, popcorn, biscuits, poppadums
• Salted pickles, chutneys
• Commercial salad dressing and sauces, pudding mixes
• Soft drinks containing Sodium Benzoate
• Soup cubes
• Proprietary drinks containing chocolate
Activity Patterns

Reduced energy expenditure in adults has been shown to

correlate with subsequent weight gain.

Dietary modification, when coupled with increased physical

activity, is better in reducing body weight.

The energy utilisation for certain activities are listed below:

1. Jogging or running for 1 hour (13 mph) – 300 Kcal

2. Cycling for 1 hour (14 mph) – 200 Kcal
3. Tennis (game for 1 hour) – 110 Kcal
4. Walking for 1 hour (3.5 mph) – 50 Kcal

Besides calorie expenditure, physical activity contributes

to the total health status of the individual. It helps diabetics
by improving the insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance. It
results in lowering the blood pressure for hypertensives and
helps in increasing the cardio-respiratory fitness.

The crucial technique of managing obesity is to alter eating

behaviour permanently and making activity patterns a part of
your lifestyle.
Walk daily, be fit for life

• Whatever your age, whatever your level of fitness, walking

is the simplest and most effective form of activity for
losing weight

• While walking, you should wear loose clothes and well

fitting canvas shoes

• Start at a slow pace and be careful to build up your speed

and distance gradually

• Walk briskly with rhythmic movement of your arms and feet.

Walk fast enough to become a little breathless and slightly
tired but never leave yourself gasping for air or completely
exhausted. You should be comfortable enough to carry on
a conversation while walking

• Regular walks will surely improve your heartbeat, endurance

and all-round level of fitness

• Walking builds long lean muscles, which helps in

burning calories all the time, day and night, even while you
are asleep

• Preferably walk on an empty stomach or 2-3 hours after the

last meal
Easy ways to boost
your activity level

• Walk as much as possible throughout the day, use your car

as less as possible

• Always take the stairs instead of the elevator

• When parking your vehicle, park it as far as possible from

where you want to go

• Hide all your remote controls, operate everything manually

• Whenever possible, stand instead of sitting. If you are desk

bound at work, stand up when you are on the phone; walk
over to give messages to colleagues rather than using
e-mail or phone. During breaks at work, walk the stairs,
around the building or down the halls

• While doing household chores, exaggerate your

movements and make them big

• Plant a garden, take up gardening as a hobby

• Spend quality time outdoors with your children or

grandchildren

• Take up an outdoor game or any other activity you

might enjoy

• Try to work out as much as possible, but at your own

pace. Reward yourself, not by getting yourself a snack, but
maybe by buying a new wardrobe for your trimmer body
Tips to control your food intake

• Keep a daily record of your food intake in the diet diary

• Do not shop when you are hungry. Buy only non-fattening
food. Read label carefully before buying

• Always eat in one room, at the same place and avoid

pairing your eating with other activities like watching TV,
cooking or reading

• Always keep at hand low-calorie foods to use as snacks,

like fruits and raw vegetables

• If you feel like nibbling on something nibble on pieces of

chopped apple, cucumber, celery or you can have “saunf”
(ani seed) or “ilayachi” (cardamom)

• Make small portions of foods appear larger by using a small

plate or by spreading the food

• Eat slowly and chew food thoroughly. This helps to eat less
food but absorbs more vitamins and minerals

• Store food wisely. Keep high-calorie items in places which

are hard to reach, like high shelves

• Don’t think just because you are eating low fat/low calorie
food, you can eat all you want. The calories still add up and
must be burned off. Balance is the key to success
Slimming Services at VLCC

To tackle the growing epidemic of obesity - often called a

silent killer - VLCC has revolutionised weight loss and weight
management solutions. Its unique holistic approach works
without any appetite suppressants, medication, crash diets,
food supplements or invasive surgeries.

At VLCC every weight-loss plan is customised. Every client

is given a tailor made programme, keeping in mind cultural
eating patterns and individual lifestyles. Medical history, Body
Mass Index (BMI) and Body Composition Analysis (BCA)
are also key factors that are considered. Accordingly, a safe
modification in food intake and lifestyle is advised and a
passive and physical activity regimen is worked out, while
intensive counselling continues at every stage. In addition,
every weight-loss programme is supplemented with essential
body firming, toning and detoxifying therapies to help keep
the skin firm and toned throughout the weight-loss process.

Extensive research has proven that VLCC’s programmes

have higher than average success rate when it comes to
weight-loss and its management, and are highly effective in
providing solutions to obesity-related ailments and diseases
in men and women of all ages.

Weight loss

A weight-loss package is recommended to overweight/obese

clients to achieve the desirable/ideal body weight. This results
in overall health improvement and a better quality of life.
Cellulite control
therapies / tucks
These help to tone up the muscles during weight loss.
Anti-cellulite oils, gels, creams and packs are used for giving
manual massages on specific pressure points which aid
in strengthening the connective tissue, eliminating toxins
and shaping the adipose tissue. As the body detoxifies and
metabolic processes are revived, the skin gets a smooth
and even appearance. These therapies are carried out either
on the entire body or on specific problematic areas like
abdomen, hip, thighs, arms and back. These simultaneous
body treatments strengthen, tone and build up the muscles,
depletes fat deposits, improves cardio vascular performance
and strengthens the immune system.

Body firming
During weight loss, subcutaneous fat trapped between the
skin and the muscles is lost, creating a gap in between. This
makes the skin appear loose and has to be tightened to give
it a younger look. This is done with specialised appliances,
which help in firming and tightening the skin and improving
the Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR), thereby promoting health.

Lipofit programme
This advanced programme adopts a unique and highly
effective combination of weight-loss techniques. It is of
special utility for clients with less time and also beneficial for
those who may have been trying to lose weight on their own
and want to join the VLCC programme after their weight has
reached a plateau stage.
Termoslim therapy
This therapy involves a combination of appliance, product
and massage therapy to help lose weight or tone up
troublesome areas such as arms, thighs, buttocks or
abdomen. Commonly called Spot Reduction, this therapy is
great for those who have excessive fat deposit in only certain
areas.

Gel therapy
A gel with anti-cellulite properties is used as an alternative
body sculpting means to shape up the body and reduce
excess fat in targeted areas. This improves the Waist-Hip
Ratio, helps to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases as
well as insulin resistance and consequently optimises health.

Ultraslim / Ultratrim
This advanced Slimming package uses ultrasonic induction
of Lipolytic cream for better weight loss and improvement
of Waist-Hip Ratio thus augmenting health while enhancing
appearance.

Head to toe firming

This advanced treatment is specially designed to provide
the body with complete toning and firming to help prevent
the skin from sagging and restore firmness, from the face to
the lower limbs. It is beneficial for those who may have lost
weight in an unscientific manner or have age-related sagging
skin.
Age defying with body firming
This is a package of a preventive and restorative Age Defying
Treatment for the face with a toning and firming treatment
for the body. This unique face treatment uses advanced
dermatological products and antioxidant vitamins that work
in synergy to promote cellular renewal, redefine the skin’s
texture and restore health to environmentally damaged skin.
It is especially beneficial for fine lines, wrinkles and sagging
skin.

Fusion therapy
This advanced body treatment has been developed by
combining the principles of relaxation and stretching
massages, facilitating general body relaxation and improving
flexibility. The dual benefits of this massage also aids in
regulating sleep patterns and promotes overall well being.

Neuro-muscular therapy
Besides facilitating general body relaxation and improving
flexibility, this specialised Neuromuscular Therapy works on
the principle of applying static pressure by hand on specific
myofascial points to relieve pain. This technique works on
the soft tissue of the body (muscles, tendons and connective
tissue) to balance the central nervous system. Injury, trauma,
postural distortion or stress cause nerves to speed up their
transmission, inhibiting equilibrium and making the body
vulnerable to pain and dysfunction. Therefore beneficial to
stabilise with low levels of neurological activity to maintain
normal function and promote health.
Specialized weight loss programme
for medical conditions
Obesity or even being overweight results in postural distortion
and stress leading to pain and trauma in various areas of the
body. Commonly associated medical problems include pain
in the neck, upper and lower back, Tennis elbow and osteo-
arthritic pain.

Electric nerve stimulation through advanced appliances helps

to reduce the pain, especially when preceded by induction
of ultrasound gel and traces of a muscular relaxant ointment
(eg. Volini). This enables you to relax and perform specialised
physical activity patterns resulting in additional weight loss
with improvement in pain and subsequent good health.

Following specialized programmes have been developed

to tackle the common medical conditions associated with
obesity or being overweight:

Shoulder Pain/Frozen Shoulder

Lower Back Pain
Tennis Elbow/Golfer’s Elbow
Tense Neck Muscles and Upper Back Pain
Treatment for Arthritic Patients
Counselling
Intensive counselling for lifestyle and behavioural modification
along with healthy food habits and physical activity is given
to clients on every visit. The visits to the centres are twice
or thrice a week. Even family members are involved in
counselling sessions. Mothers of adolescents are called
for direct interaction and given appropriate guidance on
parental attitude, purchase and presentation of food, parental
modelling of eating and support for active leisure pursuits.

Even group counselling sessions are arranged for specific

groups where they get an opportunity to share their problems
and exchange ideas to tackle them, with the experts.
Spouses are also involved in counselling of adult married
clients and it has been observed that if the recommended
changes are supported by the client’s spouse there is better
adherence to the programme.

The types of counselling given, include:

a) Diet: Intensive diet counselling
b) Physiotherapy: Intensive counselling and induction of
activity patterns
c) Combined: Combined counselling by a team of
professionals – doctor, dietician and physiotherapist
Weight maintenance packages for
existing clients
On completion of the slimming programme, a diet and
maintenance chart is given to our clients for maintaining their
weight lost with VLCC to ensure that clients with associated
medical problems can continue their treatment without
any hesitation. Our qualified Doctors, Nutritionists and
Physiotherapists analyse the condition together. The impact
of drugs is assessed and accordingly the client is guided to
visit the family physician, if modulation in dosage is required.

Weight maintenance packages for

new clients
These packages include a weekly session at VLCC and help
in maintaining the desirable body weight along with toning
and firming.
Cosmetology in relation to obesity

Cosmetology at VLCC
Beauty is often said to be skin deep, but for the obese, the
problem becomes deeper. While each person has some additional
cosmetic requirements like skin care and hair treatments, the

weight, your body organs cannot work properly. You may also
develop different hair and skin problems like pigmentation, acne,
double chin, over dry or oily skin, hair fall, dandruff or open pores,
