Lose weight the scientific way

VLCC founded by Vandana Luthra in 1989 has been in operation in Sri Lanka since 2011. They cater to a wide range all over the globe and in 300 locations all over the world. The organisation specialises in slimming, beauty and wellness services and caters to individuals who desire to maintain their health and aid self transformation. 

The two wellness centres at Colombo 7 and Nugegoda offer a wide variety of services ranging from weight management to beauty treatment. VLCC practices the highest ethical and quality standards in their practice. Their medical professionals are highly qualified and some of the best in the business. The treatment methods they offer are only used after extensive research conducted by the research and development team. The result of all this is multiple success stories and happy clients.

The weight management services or the slimming treatments that are administered to consumers are initiated by carrying out a body composition analysis on the individual and suggesting treatment while taking into consideration other factors such as medical complications. During a span of three-four months, the company promises to help the consumer achieve a 10 kilogram weight loss. 

For scientific weight loss and slimming treatment, VLCC practices four methods known as the dietary modifications, physical activity, passive activity and behavioural modification. The professionals that work behind the scenes analyse every aspect of the consumer from the body mass index to the Body composition analysis which gives an idea about your fat accumulation and they suggest treatment customised to each. Those who are given treatments according to the dietary modifications are examined for their body metabolic rate and a calorie requirement is obtained and this approach is based around controlling the energy intake whereas the other three methods focus more on increasing energy expenditure. Each customer is advised to come for these treatments at least two-three days a week based on their necessity. 

Aside from the slimming treatments, they also offer spot reduction treatments for those who wish to lose fat in specific areas of their body. One of the spot reduction treatments use ultrasound waves to mobilise deposited fat and radio frequency rays to tighten muscle fibres. Another one of the specificities of the slimming treatment is that there is no necessity for dietary supplements, hunger suppressants and meal replacements because qualified dieticians take the utmost care in prescribing a right diet in the right quantity with balanced nutritional composition. This ensures that individuals can continue to enjoy their food the way they like it.

One of the many satisfied customers who have had lifestyle transformations thanks to VLCC’s programs is Devmith Kaggodaarachchi, a Managing Director by profession. “With my high profile job, stress and workloads made my weight go up to 105 kg, but after eight months I lost 29 kg and 8 inches off my waist. Unlike in a gym, VLCC takes BMI, Body composition analysis and DNA assessments and delivers customised plans and they keep track of what’s happening in your body. It is a scientific approach and if you follow their instructions, the results are guaranteed. Highly recommended!” he said.

Professionals carrying out the treatment at VLCC also note of many who have suffered from medical conditions such as diabetes, cholesterol, hypothyroidism, PCOS and arthritis who have received relief from their symptoms since undergoing these treatments aside from the weight loss benefits.
