Losing weight with professional support
Losing weight isn’t always the hardest part
The challenge often lies in sticking with it and preventing any weight lost from coming back on again.
I am losing weight, though...
but then come back again.A diet or temporary plan may work for a while. After that, your appetite and old habits may return.
01I know what’s healthy...
But it’s still hard to keep it up.Hunger, stress, sleep and daily routines can make it difficult to change, even if you know exactly what’s healthy.
02I’m not looking for a quick fix...
I want something that suits me.You’re looking for an approach that takes into account your health, personal circumstances and goals — not just the scales.

Why WeightConsult
It’s not just about getting started. It’s about continuing to receive the right support.
WeightConsult combines medical assessment with personalised guidance and a focus on what happens after weight loss. This means the programme is not just about losing weight, but about responsible treatment and maintaining the results as effectively as possible.
-
Medical assessment by Dutch doctors Treatment will only commence if it is deemed medically appropriate and justifiable.
-
Personal support throughout the process There is still scope for questions, progress and relevant points for consideration.
-
Clarity on the steps involved, costs and expectations You’ll know in advance how the process is structured and what to expect.
-
Focus on weight maintenance and responsible tapering The programme looks beyond just the moment when you lose weight.
Medical assessment, treatment, support and follow-up are all closely linked.
Four elements that reinforce one another
We look beyond just BMI and assess health, medical history and any potential contraindications.
The chosen treatment and programme will be tailored to your medical condition and goals.
Throughout the process, there will be opportunities to discuss questions, progress and any relevant changes.
As you get closer to your goal, the focus shifts to maintaining your progress and — where appropriate — tapering off responsibly.
This is how we work
How supervised weight loss works at WeightConsult
From your first BMI check to personalised support. Every step is clear, medically sound and handled entirely online.
BMI check and medical assessment
You’ll start with a quick BMI check and then fill in your personal details and the medical questionnaire. This will enable us to carefully assess whether a treatment programme is suitable for you.
Review and payment
Does treatment seem appropriate? If so, you’ll be able to view your treatment plan and complete the payment securely online. If there are any additional medical questions, these will be assessed first.
Online consultation with a doctor
Once payment has been made, you can book an online consultation straight away. The doctor will carry out an identity check, discuss your medical history and go through your personalised treatment plan with you.
Treatment and support
Once the doctor has given the go-ahead, the next steps will be arranged. Throughout the programme, you’ll remain personally involved, with a focus on your progress, lifestyle and maintaining your results.
Our team is happy to help you. We communicate clearly, personally and without any unnecessary barriers.
Transparent rates

- No unexpected delivery charges
- In the longer term, WeightConsult may work out more cost-effectively

Results with support
No empty promises, just results that suit you
Everyone’s body reacts differently. That’s why we don’t just look at weight loss, but also at your progress, lifestyle and how you can best maintain the results you’ve achieved in the long term.
- Progress is monitored throughout the process
- Scope to adjust support and treatment
- Focus on diet, exercise and daily habits
- Maintaining the status quo and, where appropriate, phasing out measures are part of the next steps
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach; the programme is tailored to your situation.
Not just losing weight, but also working to keep it off.
Support remains an integral part of the treatment programme.
Baseline condition, health, duration of treatment, lifestyle and individual response all influence the final outcome.
What others say about WeightConsult
Part of the treatment programme
How medication can help with weight loss
Certain prescription treatments affect the signals involved in hunger and satiety. This can make it easier to eat smaller portions and maintain a healthy diet.

You may be eligible if your BMI is higher than 27, you are at least 18 years old and there are no medical factors that would make treatment inadvisable. The final assessment is always carried out by a doctor.
In most cases, the course of treatment is not covered by basic health insurance. In exceptional cases, different conditions may apply. Always check this with your own health insurer.
Prescription-only medicines can only be dispensed once a doctor has assessed your medical history and has determined that prescribing them is appropriate. The prescription is then sent to the pharmacy.
Results vary from person to person. Some clients notice changes in their appetite as early as the first few weeks. The majority of the weight loss usually occurs gradually over several months.
Possible side effects include nausea, bloating and stomach or bowel problems. More more serious side effects may occur. That is why every application is assessed by a doctor, who will discuss the risks and points to bear in mind with you.
No. Treatment works best as part of a broader approach that includes a healthy diet, sufficient exercise and a focus on sustainable lifestyle changes.
Support & weight maintenance
The journey doesn’t end when you reach your goal
Achieving lasting results also requires consideration of what happens afterwards. That is why we are looking ahead to conservation, lifestyle and responsible phasing out.
Whilst losing weight
We monitor progress, queries and areas for attention, and can make adjustments where necessary.
Towards your target weight
The focus is shifting from simply losing weight to stabilising your weight and maintaining new habits.
Then
Where medically appropriate, we’ll discuss how to taper off treatment responsibly and how to prevent a relapse as far as possible.
