This is because recent clinical trials (N Engl J Med, Once-weekly semaglutide in adults with overweight or obesity | Nejm 2021) shows it can take 68 weeks (just over 12 months) to achieve 15% weight loss when using certain AOM (anti-obesity medication) combined with nutritional and behavioural support. This is a long-term, sustainable weight loss; it is not a quick fix.

Beyondbmi offers a personalised 12-month weight loss programme with 1-2-1 coaching sessions with an expert team of doctors, dietitians, clinical nurse specialists and health coaches.

4 x Doctor/Nurse Consultations- They review your medical history in detail, taking into account previous and current treatments, medications and concerns. Their job is to accurately diagnose you and start the safest, most effective medical treatment based on your medical history. It is also to review your progress to ensure your biology responds to the treatment and your side effects are well managed.

4 x Dietician Consultations- The goal is to ensure that the weight you lose is predominantly fat mass. Their goal is to preserve your muscle mass through appropriate protein intake and avoid micronutrient deficiencies which can be associated with weight loss. They also help to improve your relationship with food and build healthy, sustainable habits. There are no restrictive diets, fad diets or meal replacements in Beyondbmi.

Monthly 1-to-1 Health Coaching - Their goal is to keep you accountable, provide support and ensure the plan you received from your medical team is realistic, actionable and fits into your lifestyle. They are your “buddy in the corner” who support you throughout the programme and beyond.

Our specialist doctor works with you to design a personalised medical plan to ensure they prescribe only the safest and most effective medication for you. Our obesity medicine doctors prescribe a wide range of anti-obesity medications. All medications your specialist clinician will prescribe are EMA approved, originate from national and international treatment guidelines and are scientifically proven to help treat the disease of obesity.

If your body doesn’t respond to the treatment, we can easily adjust the treatment plan and explore other medication or medical options.
