Weight Management
Since 2009, we have been helping our patients manage their weight through advice during private consultations held in one of our 2 consultation rooms. We have had various clubs including Jonty’s Joggers and Fat Fighters. Building on the success of these, we have since 2015 added the NewWeigh Weight Management products to our service list.
NewWeigh guarantees amazing results in a reasonable but accelerated timeframe. Nationally, people using NewWeigh can typically expect to lose weight 3-5lbs per week if you are male and 2-4lbs per week if you are female. In many instances, we have seen weight loss at higher rates than this with good motivation and support from our staff.
Our weight management service has 3 options:
- NewWeigh Total Diet Replacement (TDR)
- NewWeigh Meal Replacement Plan (MRP)
- Consultation and advice on healthy eating and exercise alone (no products used)
Price is Free to €68.50 per week
In all instances, weight loss and management has 3 stages:
- Lose the weight
- Reintroduction to food
- Maintenance of your new weight
We are constantly asked “But will I keep the weight off?” The answer to this question depends on your willingness to work with us after you have lost your weight. We typically advise people to continue to come for private weigh-ins weekly for 6 to 8 weeks after their weight loss. During these weeks, we will help you find foods you love that are nutritious and healthy but also meet your daily calorie needs, which will help us prove to you that you can maintain your weight loss.
This 6 to 8 week period is only a guide but we are happy for you to come as often and for as long as you want. A person that continues to come in and engage is very unlikely to return to their former unhealthy weight. At the end of the day, we cannot help you if you do not let us.

Fibremore – new tab
Fibre is important for digestive health, reduces your risk of developing some diseases and helps your weight control. Fibre comes in 2 forms:
INSOLUBLE FIBRE (also known as roughage) bulks up stools and prevents constipation.
Foods rich in insoluble fibre: wheat bran, all bran, whole grains, popcorn, flaxseed, oatmeal, rye bread, rolled oats, beans, lentils, beetroot, chickpeas, parsnips, peas, turnip, soybeans, sweet potatoes, potatoes with skin, cabbage, apples, raspberries, figs, kiwi fruit, mangoes, bananas, pears and strawberries.
SOLUBLE FIBRE helps keep stools soft and moist, making them easier to pass. It can reduce cholesterol and encourage beneficial gut bacteria.
Foods rich in soluble fibre: Fibremore, oat bran, oatmeal, brown rice, flaxseed, plantain, artichokes, kidney beans, brussel sprouts, asparagus, broccoli, onions, carrots, blackberries, oranges, grapefruit, apricots, mangoes and prunes.
The recommended daily fibre intake is 25-35g for adults. Increase your fibre intake gradually over a couple of weeks to avoid excess wind.
An easy way to ‘top up’ your daily fibre is to take one or two 5ml teaspoons of Fibremore daily. Each 5g of Fibremore contains 4.5g of soluble fibre. The powder has no taste and mixes easily in any food or drink, hot or cold.
