Weight Loss

We know that hunger, cravings and convenient snacks are obstacles for a slimmer. With that in mind, the CJA Lifestyle weight loss program has been designed to help you avoid temptation by removing your cravings completely.

After a medical consultation with one of our experienced qualified doctors, you will receive a prescription-only medical appetite suppressant and a reduced calorie nutritional plan. During your weight loss journey you can expect to lose an average of five lbs per week.

The appetite suppressant we use is Saxenda® which is an FDA-approved prescription injectable medicine.

CJA Lifestyle is ideal for patients with a BMI of 30 or more or those with a BMI of overweight with one weight-related medical issue such as high blood pressure, type two diabetes, high cholesterol or high blood triglycerides.

Pregnant and breastfeeding mums, patients with type one diabetes, a history of thyroid problems, pancreatitis or those taking certain medications. Our doctors will examine your medical history during your consultation.

The introductory program will last up to six weeks. The length of the program depends on the individual and how much weight you need to lose - our clients on average lose 18lbs in the first three weeks.

To continue the medication after the introductory program, 5% of your body weight needs to be lost at 12 weeks on the maintenance dosage (every patient achieves this). Don't worry - our doctors will explain this in more detail during your consultation.

If you decide to go ahead, and your doctor confirms your suitability for The CJA Lifestyle Plan, you will be prescribed the appropriate amount of medication. Your £75 consultation fee includes access to our doctors for support and advice throughout your weight loss journey.

We prescribe Saxenda® which is a once-a-day, self-injectable medicine that comes in a pre-filled pen.  You will be shown how to inject yourself under the skin, rather than into a vein or muscle, usually into the stomach, upper thigh or upper arm.  The average monthly cost for these injections is £200.

This depends on the client, but in the first month on average our clients lose between 15 and 20 lbs with total loss at six weeks of 20 - 35 lbs.

Some patients experience nausea and GI disturbance. This is usually transient and passes within a couple of days. Our doctors will discuss all possible side effects during your initial consultation and will ask you to complete this online medical form, which contains a downloadable document with all you need to know about the Saxenda appetite suppressant.
