From Frumpy Mum...Robina Mutaawe as she looked when she first came to Weight Medics.
“It was having some family photos taken that made me depressed enough to do something about my weight. Sitting there in that studio, even a professional photographer couldn’t avoid making me look fat. You can tell from the expression on my face how I was feeling…
When I first came to Weight Medics I weighed 69.5 kilos (10 stone 13 lbs). You might not think that’s much but I’m only 5 foot tall! That meant my BMI was 30 so I was obese."
To Hollywood Head Turner...Here's how Weight Medics helped Robina to look like she does on the right."The doctor put me on a special eating plan to help manage my blood sugar as well as losing weight and gave me some medication to make me less hungry. Everyone at the clinic was very nice to me and did not make me feel bad about being so overweight.
The doctor told me to be patient and lose weight steadily as that would mean I would not put it all back on again like I had before when I’d paid a lot of money to go on a starvation diet of soups and shakes. Even so I was pleased to lose a stone within six weeks. My weight loss continued until I reached my target weight of 53.7 kilos (8 stone 6 lbs) in just over eight months. That means I have lost 15.8 kilos (2.5 stone) at a rate of just over a kilo a fortnight. As you can see from the photos, my figure has come back and I am turning heads again! Friends who have not seen me for a year or so literally have to look twice to know it is me! All I can say is Thank You Weight Medics”
Robina Mutaawe, Sales Consultant, Brentford
From 'So Fat My Family Worried About My Health...'Isabel Carlin As She Looked When She First Came To Us.
“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.
When I went back to work a year ago, I decided it was time to take notice of what my family were saying and make a real effort to lose weight.
To The 'New Me' And A New Life In Australia..!" After I passed my driving test, the first place I drove to was Weight Medics! I saw the doctor, was given an eating plan and medication to reduce my appetite. 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. So much so that my husband and I are moving to Australia soon to start a new life! ” Isabel Carlin, Retail Consultant, Hanworth

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.
Lose Weight Without Feeling Hungry On This Unique ProgrammeDr Akram’s work with the expert nutritionists at the National Nutrition Clinic has lead to the development of a whole new approach to weight loss. She has concluded that most of the old ways of trying to lose weight simply do not work.
The new plan uses the latest nutritional thinking on managing your blood sugar and food cravings through an eating plan containing foods with a lower glycaemic load. These foods tend to help you feel full for longer, and keep your blood sugar on an even keel between meals.

Top Research Group Proves Our Methods WorkThis 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.” The Cochrane Collaboration
