Rapid weight loss causes excessive muscle loss and slows metabolism, leading to weight regain.
Studies on our diet show that rapid weight loss can be achieved without excessive muscle loss or significant metabolic slowdown. The metabolic rate slows by only 80-150kcal per day, and weight loss can be maintained on our program.
Low-calorie diets are difficult to follow due to excessive hunger.
Participants in the DiRECT study reported surprisingly little additional hunger. The 1:1 support provided was instrumental in helping them stay on track and overcome challenges.
Experts and nutritionists believe our diet is inferior to "real food" diets.
Leading health organizations, including the OHA report, British Dietetic Association, British Medical Association, and Diabetes UK, recognize our diet as a safe and effective option for weight loss, especially for individuals with diabetes.
1:1 support is not necessary for weight loss, and app-based diets can be equally effective
Research indicates that 1:1 support significantly outperforms app-based diets and group weight loss programs. The personalized guidance and motivation provided by a consultant are crucial for achieving and maintaining weight loss.
Keto diets are the most effective for weight loss and managing blood sugar (diabetes risk).
Research and expert groups have concluded that keto diets are not superior to The 1:1 Diet. Our program is significantly more effective, especially for individuals with diabetes.
