Why is it hard?
Why is it hard to lose weight at this stage of life?
Weakened energy
When energy drops, even preparing meals and moving become a bother. It is easy to get by on convenient carbohydrates like noodles, bread, and rice cakes.
Joints and chronic conditions
When your knees hurt, you walk less, and when you take many medicines, choosing a prescription is delicate. As weight comes down, the load on your joints also eases.
If this sounds like you
Do any of these sound familiar?
- Your knees hurt, and you have walked less and less.
- You lack energy and get by on noodles, bread, and rice cakes for meals.
- The hospital tells you to lose weight, but when you starve you have no energy and cannot face it.
- You take many medicines and worry whether you can take herbal medicine with them.
- You fear that dieting will cost you muscle and make you weaker.

Consultation process
How your care proceeds
Adjusting and finding your stage
We check your medicines and start at the lowest stage. We look first at your energy and digestion.
Monthly body composition check · stage adjustment
Each month we check muscle mass through body composition and adjust the stage.
Months 3–6, lowering stages gradually
Over 3–6 months we gradually step the stages down and watch whether your muscle and activity level are maintained.
This describes the care process. The pace and results of weight loss vary from person to person.
