A weight-loss programme designed to end

Plain weight-loss programmes hand over the medication and watch the scale fall. It does fall. The question no one asks is what happens when you stop — and without a plan for that, the weight tends to come back.

So the programme is built around three things working together: a doctor-prescribed GLP-1 medication as the catalyst, daily WhatsApp coaching that builds the habits — protein, strength work, a sustainable pace — and a taper planned from the first consult toward your lowest effective dose. That is what “getting lean” means here: weight loss that holds. It is why the programme is designed to end.

The reasoning behind that, with the trial evidence it rests on, is set out across our articles and guides.

There is no clinic to visit. Consultations happen over secure two-way video with Dr Quek, medication is delivered to you, and your care team is reachable on WhatsApp between 9am and 9pm daily. How the whole process runs is on the how it works page, and what it costs is on the pricing page.
