Finally, a way to lose weight that works …
Now that we know the cause
Being overweight or obese isn’t simply a condition to be tolerated because no diet has worked for you yet. It’s not just an inconvenience that limits your ability to perform daily activities the way you used to or makes it difficult to find clothes to fit or that you look good in.
Being overweight seriously impacts your current & future health.
Obesity is a real condition that has a real impact on your physical and mental health. It’s also an obvious physical indication and early warning sign that your body isn’t coping the way it should.
Carrying just an extra 12 kg makes you much more susceptible to a range of lifestyle diseases:
• Premature Death -> 110%
• High Blood Pressure -> 260%
• Gallstones -> 270%
• Heart Attack -> 360%
• Degenerative Arthritis -> 400%
• Type 2 Diabetes -> 2,660%
Losing just 5-10% of weight
decreases your chance of developing disease
as much as 50%
Imagine how you could feel getting back to your ideal weight.

The APC Weight Loss Programme
The APC Weight Loss Programme takes a three-pronged approach to weight loss that works.
Diet Education &
Change Support
EDUCATION
We believe that knowledge is power and that when you understand how your body works with the foods it is fuelled by, you will be able to make the food and lifestyle choices required to lose the excess weight and keep it off.
We will go through with you your current lifestyle and eating regimens so that you can understand the true cause of your excess weight. We will explain how what you are currently doing has led to your current weight and how your body responds hormonally to what you feed it.
CHANGE
We will outline the steps you need to take to achieve your weight loss goal and, reviewing your blood tests (optional unless you have diabetes) and measurements, we will monitor your progress.
We will bust myths around fat and protein.
You will be given nutritional guidelines to follow around which foods are beneficial and which are not.
There are no meal plans and calories controlled diets that are impossible to stick to.
You will be empowered to devise your own meal plans and food combinations based on what you like to eat within the guidelines provided.

Intermittent Fasting
Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating. It unlocks your hormone sensitivity by allowing the body to burn the stored fats that the regular eating of high-sugar and high-carb foods was preventing.
There are safe and comfortable ways to do fasting. It is important to know what is the best schedule for you and your body type. APC Weight Loss doctors will help in determining the best schedule for you. A proper fasting schedule is key to unlocking your hormone sensitivity.
An integral part of our programme, intermittent fasting is a way to manage your weight and prevent — or even reverse — some forms of disease.
Our doctors and consultants work closely with you to determine the most efficient, SAFE and effective fat-loss fasting schedule for you and your body type.
A proper fasting schedule is key to unlocking your hormone sensitivity.
The APC Weight Loss Programme was specifically designed to manage diabetes reversal and, by association, the removal of dangerous fats around the internal organs. However, it will work on anyone who is overweight because it addresses the source of weight gain and fat-loss resistance.
This programme works because we designed it to, using the following 4 tenets of success:
1. We set you up for success
We know that this programme will require a change in your lifestyle routine and eating habits that will require discipline and motivation. That’s why we set you up for success through education so that you understand what needs to be done and how you can potentially sabotage your progress. We build the programme around your current lifestyle to ease you in. When you start to feel the health benefits, we are confident that this will be all the motivation you will need to continue.
2. We fuel your body the way it was designed to be fuelled
• Our consultants work closely with you to uncover and change your nutrition and lifestyle regimens.
• We alter your hormonal response to the food you eat (through eating the right food combinations at the right time) so that you can restore your body’s normal endocrine and digestive functions and achieve your health goals.
• You receive a personalised nutrition programme based on the latest scientific research.
• This is NOT a starvation diet that relies on counting calories and you WILL be able to eat incredible-tasting foods.
• We fast-track your fat loss with proven neutraceuticals
.
3. We work with your doctor to reduce your reliance on medications.
If you are currently on prescribed medication for lifestyle-related conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes, we closely monitor blood markers (*optional) and work with your medical doctor to achieve safe medication de-prescription over time.
*We cannot remove medications from your treatment plan without your doctor’s support but we can work towards the ultimate goal of taking the least amount of medications possible.
4. We provide ongoing support to keep you on track
There’s a bit of a nutritional learning curve on this programme only because we’ve been fed the wrong information as well as the wrong foods our whole lives. As a society, we’ve moved away from whole foods and towards convenience-based, processed products, and it’s had a devastating effect on our physical and mental health.
Learning to prepare foods that will fuel our day, rather than sabotage it, takes some adjustment. That’s why we have set up a peer support system through our Facebook group. And between our monthly check-in sessions, we are always on hand to answer your questions via unlimited email any time you need some extra support.
Target dangerous hidden fat with the APC Weight Loss Programme
Excess sugar and carbohydrate consumption causes the storage of hidden fat in and around your internal organs.
You can be considered not overweight by appearance and yet store this hidden fat. Known as visceral fat, this kind of hidden fat is more dangerous than the fat stored under the skin.
- Type II diabetes
- Heart disease
- Breast cancer
- Colorectal cancer
- Alzheimer’s
The APC Weight Loss Programme is designed to target this dangerous fat.
