Weight Management Advice
Would You Like Some Support With Your Weight?
As a practice, we strongly believe in the benefits of a low-carbohydrate diet to support healthy weight management and overall well-being. For more information and practical dietary advice, we recommend the following two resources:
Freshwell Low Carb Project: Encouraging members of our community to live a Real Food Low Carb lifestyle so they may be as healthy as possible.
Choose You: Choose You is a free local service to help you build healthy habits, like quitting smoking or reaching a healthy weight. If you live or work in Bedford Borough, Central Bedfordshire, or Milton Keynes, you can easily refer yourself – no need to go through a GP.
Lose Weight - Better Health - NHS: If you're overweight, losing weight has many health benefits. It might help reduce the risk of developing health conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Dowload the free NHS weight loss plan.
The NHS Digital Weight Management Programme: To start your journey to a healthier lifestyle, you need to speak to your GP or a local pharmacist who can refer you to the programme.
