Welcome to the Afya Care Blog!

For years, people have been told that weight loss is all about cutting calories. “Eat less, move more,” has been the golden rule. At first, it even seems to work—pounds may come off quickly when food is restricted. But almost everyone who has tried strict dieting knows what comes next: hunger, fatigue, frustration, and eventually, weight regain. The truth is, calorie restriction may create short-term results, but it often harms long-term weight regulation. That’s because weight management is not just about math—it’s about biology

🚫 There is no one magic fix. ✅ Real, lasting change takes science, strategy, and support. If you’ve tried everything and still feel stuck—you’re not alone. You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You just need a better plan—and someone in your corner.

True compassion isn’t about pleasing the patient—it’s about guiding them with honesty, respect, and evidence-based care.

Over the past few years, GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, and Saxenda have exploded in popularity for weight management. Many now refer to them as “magic shots” or “game changers” in their weight loss journey. But with this rise in visibility has also come a wave of stigma, confusion, and dangerous myths. Let’s be clear—these medications are not the problem. The problem is the way we talk about them, the way we use them, and the way we judge those who need them.
