Counterweight Plus is a programme developed for people with greater weight loss needs. The programme includes a 12 week low-calorie diet replacement and is integrated with a sustained programme of behavioural techniques to support weight loss and weight loss maintenance.
Counterweight Plus has been shown in clinical trials (the DiRECT Trial) to be effective at weight loss and putting Type 2 diabetes into remission, and people who have taken part in the programme locally have seen great results for their health.
The Commission sponsors the Counterweight Plus programme locally, so that it is available free of charge as part of the HSC Adult Weight Management Service.
The weight management team are now recruiting people to join a group which aims to help people lose weight and achieve remission of type 2 diabetes, using the Counterweight Plus programme. The programme is FREE to join. See the poster below for programme details and if you think you are eligible, you can ask your GP to refer you today!
