My GP sent me a letter about this scheme which is funded by the NHS. I've signed up for it and am awaiting my scales and activity tracker gadget through the post as the hours I work mean I can't do face to face or attend online zoom meetings as I can't commit to the regular session times. Has anyone else done this programme? Do the mentors really know what they are on about or is it one size fits all? Was disappointed by introductory articles to read before course begins which assumed (as always) that I was some binge drinking cakeaholic and simple food substitutions (most of which I already do or don't need as I don't eat the higher alternative) would have instant results.
 
Not one I’ve heard of @Podgypig

Hope it ends up being helpful, despite your reservations with the introductory articles.

Try to go in with as open a mind as you can manage, and maybe you can make a silk purse from a sow‘s ear 🙂
 
Well just glancing at the website, they do seem to be promoting a lower carb more exercise way of life so even though you may be doing some of it, you'll never know what helpful tips and suggestions might be there unless you have a go at it !

Hope it proves helpful - and any tips etc worth sharing - please do so on the forum!
