Terms of Business and Participants Consent www.fasttrackweightlossprogram.co.uk 12 Week Program Trial Introduction The fasttrackweigtlossprogram is an innovative way of losing weight quickly, while targeting the fatty areas of most need to shorten the time in which you can see results. We believe that motivation is best achieved through seeing results as soon as possible into any weight loss program. The program is a combination of 3 elements which work together to accelerate results. A combination of 3 well known and recognised techniques, which working together accelerate success. We think in 12 weeks you will really see a difference which will motivate you to carry on your more healthy lifestyle. The three elements are: Very Low Calorie Diet (“VLCD”) We all accept that to lose weight you must consume fewer calories than you expend. Indeed to lose a pound you need to have a calorie deficit of 3,500 calories on average. That means to lose 4 pounds a week you need to consume 14,000 calories less than you expend. This can be achieved through diet and exercise – but many overweight people find the prospect of exercise daunting. VCLDs are designed to help maximise this calorie deficit and put the body into a state of ketosis in which the body burns fat instead of carbohydrates for energy. At any time we can test your urine for Ketones which evidence the process of Ketosis. We will measure your BMR (Base Metabolic Rate) which is the number of calories your body is using in a resting state and from that info estimate your potential weight loss without the use of exercise. Throughout the program your BMR will change and hence your weight loss might fluctuate due to this and other factors. This is the part of the program that needs commitment and resolve. If you are not sure you can commit to it for 12 weeks, the effects of the other treatments will not be maximised. The supplier for VCLD we recommend is “Exante – www.exantediet.com” who have an excellent reputation as providers of VLCDs and are the most cost effective. Ultrasound Liposuction (www.ultasoundliposuction.co.uk) This is the non invasive use of ultrasound waves to target the areas of most subcutaneous fat (eg. stomach, thighs and bottom). By targeting these areas we can accelerate the results of the program in the areas that you most want. Fat stores under the skin are relatively resistant to any diet treatment as they generally have a poor blood supply. The ultrasound treatment releases fat from the fat cells in these resistant into the surrounding tissue fluid and this is transported away via the lymphatic system. The ultrasound treatments are therefore necessary for the contouring of your body shape and release an additional supply of energy for your body whilst on the Program. Lipo-massage With any considerable weight loss it is likely that unsightly excess skin will normally arise. In severe cases this can lead to a need for surgery to attempt to correct the problem. To minimise these problems, the fasttrackweightlossprogram uses tried and tested lipo-massage techniques, also known as connective tissue massage. Using equipment supplied by Endermologie (www.lpgendermologie.co.uk ), we use weekly sessions of skin and connective tissue treatment which stimulates the skin and connective tissue contraction as your weight is lost. This treatment has the additional benefit of stimulating lymphatic drainage, helping to remove the fat released by the ultrasound treatment into the circulation for metabolism. You will receive weekly treatments straight after your lipo-ultrasound. On its own this treatment is proven to promote weight and inches loss and when combined with diet and ultrasound it is extremely effective.

Gallstones. This potential adverse effect is not specific to the Program, but gallstone and biliary sludge formation is a general risk of any weight loss treatment such as any prolonged dieting resulting in significant weight loss and it is a particularly common problem after surgical treatments sometimes used for the treatment of overweight patients.
