You’ve been eating better.
You’ve been exercising.
But the weight loss has slowed, or stalled completely.
What gives?
This is a story I hear all the time in clinic.
The answer is often metabolic adaptation — your body’s way of conserving energy as you lose weight.
It affects:
Your metabolism

Your hunger levels

Your spontaneous movement

Even how many calories you burn during exercise

It’s not sabotage.
It’s survival.
In my latest article, I explain how metabolic slowdown works — and how to minimise it with evidence-based strategies.
If you’re stuck and don’t know why, this one’s for you.

Most diets fail.

Not because people are lazy.
Not because they lack willpower.
But because their biology is designed to fight back.

When you lose weight, your body defends its fat stores.
It slows metabolism, increases hunger, and pushes you to eat more — a phenomenon called adaptive thermogenesis.

I see this every week in clinic.
People who’ve done “everything right” — and still feel like they’re losing the battle.

You're not weak.
You're not broken.
You're up against thousands of years of design.

If you're tired of blaming yourself and want a science-based approach that works with your body, this post is for you:

Why I opened a private weight management clinic

As an NHS GP with over 15 years’ experience, I came to a difficult realisation:
Despite our best efforts, the current system isn’t equipped to manage obesity effectively.

Appointments are short.
Resources are limited.
And obesity, a complex chronic disease, is often reduced to simplistic advice: “eat less, move more.”

This approach rarely leads to lasting change — and many patients continue to struggle, accumulating medications but not gaining back their health.

I wanted to offer something better.

At my private clinic, I now have the time to understand each patient’s individual needs.
I can provide evidence-based interventions, including licensed medications and regular follow-up.
And most importantly, I work with people who are ready to make a change.

This isn’t about aesthetics — it’s about improving health, quality of life, and long-term outcomes.

Caloric content doesn't tell the whole story; nutrient density is key. Two foods can have the same calorie count but vastly different nutrient profiles. Choose foods that provide the most nutritional bang for your caloric buck.
