Medical Weight
& Metabolic Health
Care built around your health, your food and your everyday life.
Discuss weight and metabolic-health concerns at SURYA HOSPITAL, Kolhapur. Start with a medical assessment, then agree on personalised nutrition and physical activity goals that fit your circumstances.
A plan that starts with you
Assess. Plan.
Review and maintain.
Adults concerned about weight gain, weight regain or metabolic risk can enquire about an assessment. If you also have diabetes or other health conditions, these help guide the plan.
Agree on your personal plan
Discuss suitable portions, meal timing, food substitutions and activity type, duration and progression. Account for preferences, work hours, budget and medical conditions.
Review what is working
Agree on a follow-up date. Review practical difficulties and relevant measures such as weight, waist, glucose or fitness, then adjust the plan and support maintenance.
Customised nutrition
Familiar foods.
Thoughtful portions.
The ideas below are general education. Your physician or dietitian should set your quantities and meal schedule after reviewing your health, medicines and nutritional needs.
A balanced meal starting point
Make non-starchy vegetables a substantial part of the meal. Combine an appropriate portion of roti, bhakri or rice with a suitable protein food.
- Vegetables: leafy greens, bhindi, cabbage or mixed vegetables, prepared with modest oil.
- Protein choices: dal, usal, chana, tofu or curd; eggs, fish or chicken if you eat them.
- Choose wholegrain options when practical. Millets and rice still need portion planning.
Illustrative combination: vegetable bhaji + dal or usal + a portion of bhakri or rice. This is a meal idea, not a prescribed calorie or protein plan.
Small changes to discuss
- Choose water or unsweetened drinks more often; prefer whole fruit to juice in an appropriate portion.
- Reduce frequent sweets, sugary drinks, deep-fried snacks and heavily salted packaged foods.
- Fit meal timing to work, hunger, activity and diabetes medicines. Do not begin fasting or skip meals without advice when medicines can cause low glucose.
- With kidney or heart disease, fluid, protein, salt and some food choices may need specific adjustment. Avoid adopting a high-protein diet on your own.

Personalised physical activity
Move at a pace
that fits your health.
Choose an activity you can do safely and enjoy. Your starting level, foot health, balance, symptoms and medicines determine the right type and pace of progression.
Start with manageable sessions
If suitable for you, begin with short periods of comfortable movement and increase gradually. Break up prolonged sitting with movement that your condition allows.
Build a weekly routine
For adults who can exercise safely, a general goal is at least 150 minutes of moderate activity a week. For example, 30 minutes on five days, split into shorter sessions if needed.
Include strength and balance
Discuss strengthening the major muscle groups on at least two days each week. Older adults or those with balance difficulties may need adapted, supported exercises.
An example to personalise at your visit
When walking is suitable: spread comfortable walking sessions across the week, building towards the agreed weekly goal; add two days of appropriate strengthening. At moderate intensity you can talk, but not sing. Your clinician can change the activity, frequency and duration if walking or standing is unsuitable.
General adult guidance: NHS physical activity guidance and WHO physical activity guidance. This example is not an exercise prescription.
Prepare for your visit
Bring the whole picture.
Bring current medicines, recent reports and a note of your usual meals and activity. Mention food preferences, allergies, previous diet attempts, pain, foot problems or difficulty exercising.
Children, pregnancy, frailty, eating-disorder concerns and significant kidney or heart disease need specific clinical advice. These general adult examples may not be suitable.
Questions before you book
Will I get a customised diet and activity plan?
The plan is agreed after assessment. Discuss portions, meal timing, food alternatives, safe activity and follow-up with the clinical team. A generic website example cannot account for your medicines, examination or test results.
Do I need supplements or weight-loss medicines?
They are not automatic parts of care. Bring a list of anything you take. Medicines or supplements require an individual discussion of need, suitability and monitoring.
Is a particular weight loss or diabetes remission guaranteed?
No. Goals and progress vary. Care focuses on achievable changes and relevant health measures, with review over time.
Are tests and follow-up included in a package?
Confirm the consultation, nutrition or activity appointments, investigations, follow-up arrangements and charges with the care team before booking.
