A New Me - Lose Excess Weight And You'll Feel Like a New Person

Lose 8, 13, 16, 20 Or Even 31 Kilos* And Keep It Off With Our Doctors' New Diet

Welcome to the web site of London's leading group of medical weight loss clinics. Two thirds of our new patients are recommended to us by their friends, family or work colleagues. With 20 years experience, I am sure we can help you.

Dr Nilofer Akram, Medical Director of Weight Medics, has helped thousands of patients to lose weight steadily and safely for more than a decade.  

“Every day in the clinic I talk to patients who have become really frustrated by yo-yo dieting. They feel good at first because they start to lose weight, but they soon find that the weight comes back on. I wanted to find a new way of helping these people so I started a project with our nutritionists to come up with a new plan.”

Isabel Carlin After Losing 31 Kilos With Weight Medics

I’ve Gone From Size 22 To Size 12 – My Friends Don’t Recognise Me!

“I was 9st 10lbs when I got married, but just before the birth of my daughter four years ago I had ballooned up to 19 stone. My family were concerned about the effects on my long term health.

I decided to go back to work just over a year ago, so to make it easier I learned to drive. I also decided it was time to take notice of what my family were saying and make a real effort to lose weight. So, after I   passed my driving test, the first place I drove to was Weight Medics in Richmond!.

Isabel When She First Came To Weight Medics

Isabel Carlin As She Looked When She First Came To Us.

I saw the doctor, was given an eating plan and medication to reduce my appetite. Whenever I felt tempted to snack on chocolate, I thought of how I wanted to look for the summer and that was enough to stop me. But I decided never to deny myself the things I love, like chocolate or crisps. But instead of having them every day, I started having them every other day. Then I cut back to every third day.

Whenever I crave chocolate, I know I will have some in a day or two which is enough to stop the craving.  If you say ‘never’, your mind plays tricks with you and you tell yourself you’ve got to have it now.

	Isabel Has Learned To Control Her Food Cravings

After eight months, I’ve lost 31 kilos (nearly 5 stone) and I feel great. My daughter is nearly five years old and she weighs less than that – it’s like I’ve been carrying her around my middle all this time!

My work takes me to different terminals at Heathrow and I recently returned to Terminal 4 for the first time in months – my colleagues did not recognise me!

Have a look at my ‘before’ and ‘after’ photos – I’ve achieved this gradually, at around 2 pounds per week. That means I know its sustainable and I won’t pile it all on again – I’ve seen that happen to my friends when they’ve gone on starvation diets of soups and shakes. I’ve referred loads of my friends to the clinic and now I’m working on my sister to get her to come along.

If you’re serious about losing weight, Weight Medics friendly receptionists and experienced doctors will give you all the support you need. I can honestly say that they have changed my life.”

Do You Always Put On Weight After A Diet?

Are You Making These Weight Loss Mistakes?

Most people’s idea of a weight loss plan is to skip meals, eat very low calorie diets and generally starve themselves. There’s even a popular programme aimed at making you lighter for life which requires a 500 calorie a day starvation diet of powdered shakes and soups.

Any diet based on starvation is doomed to fail. It’s that simple. As soon as you return to normal eating, your body, now trained to expect starvation at any time, converts as much of the food to fat as possible so it can survive your next attempt to starve it! The result – you end up weighing more than when you started your ‘crash’ diet.

Top Research Group Proves Our Methods Work

This new approach has been endorsed by the latest research from the Cochrane Collaboration, released on 18th July 2007. The research studied 202 patients, some of whom were given a low GI diet while others remained on a standard eating plan. Here are the authors’ key findings:

“The overweight or obese people on the low GI diet lost more weight than those receiving standard diets.

Body mass index and cholesterol decreased significantly more in the low GI group.

In comparing low GI diets to restricted calorie low-fat diets, participants fared as well or better on the low GI diet, even though they could eat as much as desired. Lowering the glycaemic load of the diet appears to be an effective method of promoting weight loss and can be simply incorporated into a person's lifestyle.”
