HKSH Dietitians Caution Against Over-generalised and Unreliable Weight Management Methods that May Bring Long-term Undesirable Health Effects

A survey conducted by Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital (HKSH) has found that over 30 per cent of 263 respondents are "overweight" with 20 per cent considered "obese". Seven out of ten respondents said they obtained reliable health information from the web while another 17 per cent said they relied on social media for the information. HKSH dietitians remind the public that weight control will be most effective with tailor-made programmes catered for individual needs and conducted with professional assistance.
