Bumrungrad launches weight management solution amid health crisis
Published on 22/01/2026
» Bumrungrad International Hospital reveals alarming facts about excess weight and obesity among Thais, highlighting the enormous economic losses faced by the country as a result. Nearly 50% of the Thai population is overweight, with the prevalence continuing to rise — signalling that Thailand is entering a society burdened by obesity faster and more severely than expected. While the majority of individuals struggle to achieve long-term weight loss, Bumrungrad International Hospital offers a comprehensive range of weight management solutions delivered by specialist physicians and a multidisciplinary healthcare team. These personalised treatment programmes are tailored to each individual and place Bumrungrad among the world’s early pioneers in integrated weight management, combining Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) — an innovative minimally invasive gastric suturing technique — with pharmacological therapy. The hospital emphasises that effective prevention of obesity-related diseases requires safe, medically supervised weight control, alongside sustainable lifestyle modifications encompassing nutrition, physical activity, medication and advanced medical interventions.

Transitioning from keto diet should be done slowly
Life, Published on 21/03/2023
» DEAR DOCTORS: I've been doing keto for a few months to lose weight. I've almost reached my goal, and I'm ready to go back to eating more carbs. Is there a good way to switch from keto back to a regular diet? I'm worried that when I eat carbs again, I'll gain back the weight I lost.

» DEAR DOCTORS: I had lunch with a co-worker, and she's on a keto diet. She says she can have only 35g of carbohydrates per day. The label on the candy bar she was eating said it had 26g of carbs, which is almost her whole carb budget. But she said it only had 6g net carbs. What does that mean?

However, these patients did not enjoy the taste of egg white and could not consume enough protein to recover and rejuvenate.
