Finally, if you want more support with your cravings, appetite and overall health, you can also add on our supportive natural supplements to your weight loss programme.
Chromium is a mineral that is considered essential, meaning we cannot make it in our bodies so it must be obtained from our diet.
Several studies have indicated that taking chromium supplements can help:
• Obesity by reducing food intake, hunger and cravings and reduce the frequency of binge-eating episodes
• Glucose intolerance by improving blood glucose control in those with type 2 diabetes or help control the glucose and insulin responses in those a risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
• Depression by improving the symptoms of low mood.
• Boosting the immune system – helps reduce the immune system becoming overactive
• Improving over health – improve mood and reduce anxiety
A healthy gut enhances your immune system, can improve symptoms of low mood, anxiety and depression, help you lose weight more effectively, improve your sleep and take down levels of inflammation and pain within the body.
Zinobiotic is a blend of 8 fibres that support the growth of good bacteria throughout the gut – this is different from most fibre supplements that commonly only contain 2 types of fibre.
Good bacteria use this fibre as their fuel, enabling them to grow in numbers, overpowering the bad bacteria.
ZinoBiotic helps by:
• Relieving digestive issues – reduce bloating, increase bowel regularity especially in IBS
BalanceOil is a supplement that has been proven to rebalance the omega-6 and omega-3 ratio in our bodies.
It contains high levels of omega-3 and vital anti-inflammatory nutrients: Medical evidence has demonstrated that high omega-6 levels and low omega-3 levels can contribute to the development of obesity.
By working to restore our Omega-6 / Omega-3 ratio, alongside a healthier diet and lifestyle, we can reduce instances of these health conditions and put ourselves in the best place to lead a long and healthy life.
Some of the brilliant benefits you can expect from taking BalanceOil are:
• Normal brain function
• Normal heart function
• Normal immune function
• Normal vision
• Normal teeth
• Normal bone structure
• Normal blood pressure
• Normal muscle function
• Lowers/reduces blood cholesterol

Here are just some of the things patients have been saying about our remote weight loss services!
My remote appointment was brilliant. The doctor was very helpful, understanding to my weight gain and made me feel positive about re-starting. I actually prefer the remote appointment, it’s more convenient than face to face, as my local clinic is a 30 minute drive away.
I just think this (remote) a great way of doing it. I’m being positive and weight coming down slowly and am so pleased with the service.
The remote appointment and doctor are professional and felt at ease talking about my struggles. Excellent Service. Lovely Doctor, quick delivery of medication!

All these incredible people have changed their lives and health with weight loss programmes from The Slimming Clinic.
You can do it too!
I feel beautiful and I recognize myself. A light has gone on in my head and I feel amazing. I am a better mother. I am so much happier.
I love being able to go into a shop and know a size 10 dress will fit me when I used to be an 18-20.
I love going out in the evenings with friends now, something I used to avoid as I felt like the fat friend.

With The Slimming Clinic I have found weight easy to lose.
They always promote the healthiest lifestyles and are always giving you the best advice to shed the most weight possible, in the healthiest way.
I am healthier, happier and more confident and enjoying life. I have become a member of a local gym in Sunderland too.
My friends and family can’t believe what I’ve achieved so far, and I have been able to buy clothes from normal shops and not online sites.
I feel so much better about myself and overall healthier.
I’m a lot more confident and no longer have difficulty breathing when walking long distances and up hills. I’m finally happy with my weight.
I find since losing weight, there are so many more positives in my life.
I can now look after my son and run around and I can also sleep much better.
