There are a number of ways in which our approach differs to other options you have available to you:

1. You are under the care of one of our experienced doctors at all times, which enables you to build a long term relationship of trust and provides a great motivation to keep making progress as you come back for each consultation

2. Your treatment is private and confidential – no public humiliation at your weekly weigh-in!

3. Any medication that we prescribe is clinically proven and controlled by the medical authorities, unlike many of the pills and alternative potions available on the internet.

4. Unlike the food substitute diets which replace meals with shakes, we aim to help you make a permanent change to your eating plan . This reduces the risk of putting weight back on, which can often happen when the ‘filler’ shakes are replaced with normal food.

5. We are closely regulated by both the Healthcare Commission and the Obesity Management Association, ensuring that we achieve high standards of patient care and clinic administration.

6. Despite being a ‘Harley Street’ style of clinic, our treatment is surprisingly cost-effective. There is a one-off £5 registration fee, then charges start at £15 for a consultation with the doctor, a range of eating plans and medication if required. This is no more expensive than the herbal food replacement diets promoted through network marketing schemes. This also compares well to the cost of a  consultation with a private doctor in a walk-in clinic, which typically costs £50 plus any medication. 

Five Questions To Ask When Choosing A Diet Clinic        

You have decided that you want to seek professional help with weight loss. So how do you go about choosing the best clinic available to you? Here are 5 questions you can ask which will point you in the right direction:

1. Is a doctor always present? Many clinics only let you see the doctor for your initial consultation, after which you see the receptionist when you run out of medication.

2. Is support available throughout your treatment programme, including telephone and email support between appointments if necessary?

3. Are you given an Eating Plan which reflects the latest thinking from nutritionists on managing your blood sugar as well as your calorie intake?

4. Is the clinic registered under the Healthcare Commission's strict National Care Standards or using procedures which have been validated at another clinic? Only about 15% of clinics have achieved registration so far.

5. Can you easily be referred to a Nutritional Therapist if the doctor considers it appropriate?
