Why did you join the Dr Frank's Weight Loss Programme?
To help me manage my symptoms of PCOS, and therefore help me lose weight in a safe, efficient but steady rate.
How did you hear about Dr Frank's Weight Loss Programme?
Via my endocrinology appointment with Prof. Frank Joseph.
Have you tried other weight loss methods in the past and did they work?
I tried all different types of diets including intermittent fasting, I applied lifestyle changes including exercise, and I researched heavily into what is best to do to help lose weight with PCOS. I was also given other medications to aid me to lose weight including Metformin. However none of the above helped me to lose much weight and nowhere near the weight loss target that I needed in order to be within a healthy BMI range.
How did you find the programme and has it worked for you?
The programme has been the best thing I’ve ever done with managing my PCOS and the weight issues it caused me to have.
It has been so straight forward and easy. Prof Joseph has been wonderful from start to finish, so approachable and easy to talk to. It is the only thing that has worked for me over the time of 7/8 years of struggling to lose weight. It’s been so simple, and it gives the results! There are no ifs or buts, it does what it says it will do. I was worried about side effects, as in the past with other previous medication I have suffered terribly with side effects but this has gave me minimal side effects which I only experienced at the very start and even then they were hardly noticeable for me.
How has it impacted your life?
It’s gave me back the control I once had before my diagnosis of PCOS, which has therefore took the constant pressure I felt everyday of having to watch every single thing I ate. It’s gave me my enjoyment back with my relationship with food. I feel so much happier.
What would you say to anyone considering starting the programme?
Do it!! It’s by far the best thing I’ve ever done, if you struggle to lose weight for numerous medical problems, I cannot recommend enough this programme, it works! It is the only thing that’s worked for me after struggling for so long.
