The most important factor that will help you lose weight and keep the weight off is a permanent change to what you eat. Eating the right food is harder than you might think, because unless you have been trained to read food labels you can easily be misled by clever marketing by the food manufacturers.                                                                    
   The good news is, the nutritional therapists at the National Nutrition Clinic have done all the hard work for you in our unique new Slim Well With GL Eating Plan.

   You may have heard of the Glycaemic Index, which rates foods by how much they impact your blood sugar level. High GI foods can cause a 'sugar rush' which temporarily makes you feel good, only to leave you tired and craving more sugar shortly afterwards. Low GI foods help you to feel full for longer, so are clearly useful for those of us looking to lose weight.

   But what really matters is not the theoretical GI of a food, but the overall mix of what you eat across all your meals and snacks. That's why we have based our new Slim Well With GL Eating Plan on the Glycaemic Load (GL), which measures your overall glycaemic intake and balances high and low GI foods into the correct overall load. This means that you can manage your blood sugar level  at the same time as losing weight. This gives you:

- A healthy, balanced food intake

- Uniquely, this plan also counts calories as well as glycaemic load so you are taking in a measured amount of food (around 1200 calories a day)designed to encourage weight loss

- You are getting the right mixture of protein, carbohydrates and fat rather than overdosing on just one food type as is the case on some well-known fad diets.

- There are even some treats like a croissant on Sunday morning, so you don't need to buy a hair shirt to stick to this diet


   Each new patient receives their copy of the Slim Well With GL Eating Plan at their first visit to the clinic. To make your appointment, call 020 7630 7303 now. 

   We have a range of other Eating Plans available as part of your treatment, including a 28 day 1200 calorie per day plan made up of an interesting variety of nutritious foods, approved by government dieticians.  We also offer High Protein, Vegetarian and Maintenance Plans. These can be tailored to your personal tastes during your consultations with the doctor.

   If you are having trouble losing weight despite using these eating plans and the medication which our doctors provide, we may refer you to one of the Nutritional Therapists at the National Nutrition Clinic. Their nutritional therapists can consult with you in detail about how the foods you are eating are affecting your digestive system.
