Weight loss, in the context of medicine, health, or physical fitness, refers to a reduction of the total body mass, by a mean loss of fluid, body fat (adipose tissue), or lean mass (namely bone mineral deposits, muscle, tendon, and other connective tissue). Weight loss can either occur unintentionally because of malnourishment or an underlying disease, or from a conscious effort to improve an actual or perceived overweight or obese state.
“Unexplained” weight loss that is not caused by reduction in calorific intake or exercise is called cachexia and may be a symptom of a serious medical condition. Intentional weight loss is commonly referred to as slimming.
In order for weight loss to be permanent, changes in diet and lifestyle must be permanent as well. There is evidence that counseling or exercise alone do not result in weight loss, whereas dieting alone results in meaningful long-term weight loss, and a combination of dieting and exercise provides the best results. Meal replacements, orlistat and very-low-calorie diet interventions also produce meaningful weight loss.
It’s natural for anyone trying to lose weight to want to lose it very quickly. But people who lose weight gradually and steadily (about 1 to 2 pounds per week) are more successful at keeping weight off. Healthy weight loss isn’t just about a “diet” or “program”. It’s about an ongoing lifestyle that includes long-term changes in daily eating and exercise habits.
Once you’ve achieved a healthy weight, rely on healthy eating and physical activity to help you keep the weight off over the long term. Losing weight is not easy, and it takes commitment. But if you’re ready to get started, we’ve got a step-by-step guide to help get you on the road to weight loss and better health.

In the last decade, scientists have figured out that the cornerstone of all degenerative conditions, including overweight and obesity, is inflammation.
The problem with inflammation, and which gives it such as negative reputation today, is that it can get out of control. It’s no wonder that people with high levels of inflammation have an extensive list of symptoms: fatigue, brain fog, low resistance to infection, muscle weakness, joint pain, digestive disorders, acne, anxiety, headaches, depression, irritability, allergies… and body weight chaos.
This programme will help you manage your digestive fire, remove toxins that antagonise every system in your body from digestion to immune and help you lower levels of inflammation.
