Professional weight loss programmes are supervised plans that combine dietary guidance, exercise programming, behavioural coaching, and medical assessment to support sustainable fat loss and improved health. They are delivered by dietitians, nutritionists, personal trainers, GPs, or specialist weight management clinics.

Nutritionists have a nutrition qualification but varying scopes of practice. For clinical weight management, a dietitian is the recommended choice.

Talk with your doctor before you choose a weight loss program. They may be able to advise you on the types of program that could work for you, and which ones you should avoid. When choosing a weight loss program, it’s important to find one that doesn’t promise instant results; instead it should be aiming to help you achieve weight loss safely over the course of several months. The program should promote healthy lifestyle behaviours you can stick to so you can maintain a healthy weight long-term.
