About this treatment
Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) at the SGH Obesity Centre is delivered by registered dietitians who specialise in clinical nutrition for obesity and metabolic disease. Unlike general dietary advice, MNT at SGH is a structured, evidence-based clinical intervention tailored to each patient's individual metabolic profile, health history, cultural food preferences, and weight management goals.
The dietitian conducts a detailed nutritional assessment that covers dietary intake history, eating patterns, lifestyle factors, and any nutritional deficiencies that may be contributing to metabolic dysfunction or hindering weight loss. Based on this assessment, a personalised meal plan is developed that sets realistic, evidence-aligned caloric targets while ensuring adequate macronutrient and micronutrient intake.
The SGH dietitians are experienced in working with Singapore's diverse food culture, and meal plans are designed to be practical and sustainable within the context of local cuisine — accounting for hawker centre options, family dining habits, and culturally specific dietary norms. This cultural competency significantly improves long-term adherence compared to generic Western dietary templates.
