Tried Every ‘Diet’ Under The Sun’?
Give us a go - What have you got to lose (apart from your excess weight)?
Don't be confused - WE ARE NOT THE SAME!
“Howard’s Way” IS NOT THE SAME as any other weight loss diet/programme operating!
ALTHOUGH WE AT HOWARD’S WAY ARE QUITE DIFFERENT IN MANY WAYS, SOME PEOPLE MAY SEE ONLY OUR SIMILARITIES;
e.g. THAT WE RUN A ‘WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAMME’, USING SACHETS OF POWDER MIXED WITH WATER, TOTALING AROUND 500 CALORIES PER DAY, AND HOLD ‘GROUP MEETINGS’! Those really are the only similarities!
WE HAVE A VERY DIFFERENT MONITORING SYSTEM. READ FURTHER TO UNDERSTAND WHY.
ON OUR PROGRAMME…
Patients with any medical concerns will be expected to have a full medical check up with their G.P. before being accepted AND a 10 minute follow up with that same G.P. every 4 weeks that they are dieting. Patients with NO medical concerns may 'Self Certificate' throughout.
With the "Howard’s Way" formula food and programme, of 474 Calories per day (for ladies, men need 632), if you comply fully, you will be in a permanent state of ‘dietary ketosis’ after approx, your third day.
This will protect your lean muscle tissue throughout.
Your ‘LEAN MUSCLE TISSUE’ includes your HEART! If, however, you were to nibble food whilst on the programme, you would STOP using fat for your energy, come out of the state of ‘total dietary ketosis' (however small an amount you ate), use the food you had just eaten for your energy, and immediately put your body’s lean muscle tissue at risk.
For this reason, we would ask you to leave the programme. We do not condone our patients risking their health to lose weight on our programme!
ALL "HOWARD’S WAY" PATIENTS HAVE THEIR LEVELS OF KETONES CHECKED regularly! Any patient not producing ketones (caught nibbling) is asked to leave the programme and return only when they are ready to comply fully. WE DO NOT TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF YOUR HEALTH LIGHTLY, NOR DO WE ALLOW YOU TO.
Patients with compromised health would have a check with their G.P. before 'restarting', if they have been away from the programme more than a certain amount of time. In 11 years of operating our programme we can proudly state we have never had even ONE patient sick as a result of being on our programme!
However, we NEVER treat your health or insured status lightly, therefore "Howard’s Way" will not allow a patient to continue on the diet for more than 7 days if their current ‘Follow Up Medical’ is not forthcoming.
We commit to you to give you ALL THE HELP AND SUPPORT YOU NEED TO LOSE A STONE (6.3 kilos) every 4 weeks! Some diet programmes DO allow their dieters to ‘nibble’ whilst on their diet and therefore their dieters are not in 'permanent dietary ketosis'! THIS also means THEY DON’T LOSE THE 3 STONES THEY WANTED TO LOSE IN THE TIME PROMISED!
"Howard’s Way" makes no such empty promises; we know how hard it is to stay on track if someone around you is eating. However, as a result of our policy, in 11 years we can count on one hand the number of occasions we have had to enforce this rule!
