A complete guide to the National Weight Loss Programme: An expert interview with Natalia Ostrowska
People eat more during winter. Binge eating during the colder months is thought to be a deeply ingrained survival impulse from way-back-when we needed to store up our fat stores
should our food supply start to dwindle.
Winter also sees us fighting the effects of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder); the lack of sunlight during the UK winter can impact our serotonin levels, a brain chemical which is linked to wellbeing and happiness, which is generated by sunlight exposure. If you suffer from SAD, you may notice that you crave carbohydrates during the darker months, this is because carbs help your body use an amino acid, tryptophan, which can be transformed into serotonin and give you a boost of happiness. Be aware that alongside those carbs, you need to eat tryptophan-rich foods such as broccoli and seafood for this process to work. All this considered, you might be wondering how you’re going to stick to your post-Christmas healthy eating routine. You’re not alone! One option that may be right for you is the National Weight Loss Programme which helps to kerb your feelings of hunger so you can focus on eating healthily and losing any excess weight you’re wanting to shift. Our National Weight Loss Programme expert, nurse prescriber Natalia Ostrowska, answers a few frequently asked questions about the treatment.
What is the NWLP?
A medicated approach to weight loss. We’re using a research-based approach to make dieting and weight loss easier.
Who would be ideal to go on the NWLP?
Those who struggle to lose excess weight. Those who previously tried other weight loss tactics such as kcal controlled diets or eating styles and exercise but still find it difficult to
lose weight. It’s primarily for those with a BMI of 30 or above but in some cases, those with a lower BMI can also benefit from medication.
Why should I go on the NWLP over other diets in the market?
The National Weight Loss Programme is proven to be more effective if other attempts to weight loss were not effective. We offer nutritional information and ongoing support by
medical practitioners. We have seen patients dropping weight off and they describe it as ‘transformational’!
How long should I be on the programme for?
If effective, you can stay in the programme indefinitely. Some prefer to gradually stop the treatment once they achieved a healthy weight.
What common side effects are there?
Most common side effects are nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, headache, indigestion and feeling tired. These normally resolve spontaneously.
How much does it cost?
Initial consultation with a medical practitioner is £25; this is also price for follow up appointments. Then the medication for the first four weeks is £250.
How will my practitioner help me?
You will undergo a thorough assessment by a medical practitioner to make sure it is safe for you to commence the treatment. You will also be advised on important aspects that will
facilitate weight loss that can be maintained. We will also check your blood pressure and perform a body analysis.
How long will it take to see progress?
The effect of the treatment will be obvious from the day after you’ve started. Most patients will notice positive changes within the first week!
Can I exercise whilst on it?
YES! The National Weight Loss Programme should be used alongside a healthy diet and regular physical activity.
What studies back the National Weight Loss Programme up?
There have been a number of clinical studies on the efficacy of the treatment, namely:
- SUSTAIN1
- SUSTAIN10
- STEP1
- PIONEER1
- PIONEER4
- Liraglutide Resulted in 36% Loss in Excess Body Weight – Medscape – May 22, 2012.
- Liraglutide for Type 2 diabetes and obesity: a 2015 update,

Jane & Natalia were very informative and friendly. They were quickly able to diagnose my skin condition through facial scanning & recommended a skincare course for me. I was assured they are there to help with any questions along the way & with regular reviews too. My first time at this clinic and from when I walked in through the door I was greeted with a warm welcome by the front desk staff.

Jane and the team are amazing. Always so welcoming and always remember you by name each time you go in. I started my skin journey back in early 2019 and I’ve never looked back. Whilst they offer a wide range of treatments they never employ pushy sales tactics and are careful to take all your needs into consideration before recommending a treatment - it’s usually me asking about a treatment and Jane will say whether it would or wouldn’t be good for what I want to achieve. I’ve entrusted them for everything from skin review to laser treatments, as well as Botox to hair removal. Service is second to none and would HIGHLY recommend!

I went to the clinic last week. I met Jane who explained the types of treatment to me. It was very clear and I opted for the reduction of fat from the abdomen and love handles.Today i had my first session and it was absolutely fantastic.Initially you can feel like a painful but bearable pinch on the abdomen. After five minutes everything becomes very quiet and you can do another activity like checking your email and maybe chat on the phone with a friend.Jane and Nathalie were great , kind , and very professional .I can t wait to do the second treatment to see the results . I highly recommend this Clinic 100%.Rita

From the consultation to the end of the treatment, Natalia was kind, patient, understanding and extremely professional. She listened to my issues and then recommended the right treatment but put no pressure on me. Infact she encouraged me to have a think and do some research before i committed to anything. On the treatment table she explained everything she was doing and I could tell I was in very good hands. The procedure was uncomfortable and it could have been very easy to start panicking but she put me totally at ease and her confidence and professionalism meant that I had the utmost faith in her and my results were brilliant, far better than I had anticipated. Would throughout recommend her and the practice. 5 stars!

I cannot recommend the team the innovation and treatments more highly than at the Skin To Love Clinic. They are at the cutting edge of beauty and have new ways and procedures that make your skin look beautiful. I've spent many years on Harley and Wimpole street and assumed you couldn't get this level of investment and treatments anywhere else but the Skin the Love clinic not only offer every top treatment but the Jane and Sue are so skillful and have a real eye for what will work for you. Their mini thread lift is incredible as is their 'vampire' treatment but skin since I have moved to St Albans has improved dramatically

I have several issues with my skin and have been working with my doctor to deal with them. He referred me to a Dermatologist who advised on the treatment I needed. It took me a while to find the right place with the level of expertise that I needed and The Skin to Love Clinic ticked all of the boxes. My first experience with The Skin to Love Clinic was about 2 years ago. I had a consultation with Jane and immediately knew I was in good hands. I had a series of Fraxel laser which dealt with the issue as well as improved the quality of my skin. I am now dealing with a different issue and without hesitation made an appointment with Jane. What a relief to know that once again, I will be in the best hands and get the most appropriate treatment for my skin, not only dealing with the issue but also improving the health of my skin at the same time.

I visited the Skin to Love Clinic today for my fourth and final treatment of Sunekos today. The results have exceeded my expectations. My skin is plumper and lines are definitely diminished. I look younger, healthier and I’m definitely happier. As always the experience was second to none from the moment you walk through the front door, from the receptionist, to all the clinicians, who make you feel welcome and comfortable with their warmth and friendliness whilst still maintaining their professionalism, instilling the confidence needed when embarking on cosmetic treatments. Thank you to all the team! I can’t recommend this clinic enough! Rita x

I had a consultation today, the clinic is lovely and staff are very welcoming, I’m so happy with the information I was given, I’m quite excited to start using the products recommended for my skin type and see the change that occurs, it was so nice to actually have a in-depth conversation with someone that clearly knows what they are talking about, in the past Iv always made the mistake of trusting a beautician and trying treatments that are not suited to my skin.. yes they are great at some things they do but they are not trained enough to offer the advice and treatment that has been offered to me at the skin to love clinic... it’s also great to see the breakdown of all the skin complaints on the computer as it helps to point out the main issues, i can’t wait to start treatment in the very near future, fingers crossed onwards and upwards... thanks for the help today

The Ice Soprano laser treatment is actually bearable. In fact, I hardly felt much! I was in for just over 2 hours and I was nervous but honestly it was a breeze. I had previously had 4 treatments of laser hair removal years ago (somewhere else and not the soprano ice) and it was so painful, but this wasn't at all! Today was my first session, I have 7 more to go and now I'm not worried about that :)

A huge thank you to Jane Lewis at The Skin to Love Clinic for my wonderful treatment today (dermal fillers in my cheeks and lower face). I am in my mid 40’s and was really starting to notice that the area around my mouth and jowls was looking rather droopy and saggy. I am also getting married in a few weeks and was in need of some gentle rejuvenation. Jane gave me fillers in my cheeks to lift up the lines and then gently filled the area around my nose to mouth lines, chin and jaw. What a skilled nurse she is, she was extremely gentle and very reassuring, explaining everything step by step. It didn’t hurt at all, and all I could feel was a tiny scratch when the needle first goes in, but that was it. The results are amazing, instantly I can see that my saggy lower face has lifted, the lines are smoother and I have a little more subtle volume in my cheeks. No bruises or red marks. In fact, no-one would know, I just look better and refreshed, a few years taken off of me in time for my wedding. I am over the moon, thank you so much Jane and her fabulous clinic manager Kerri. I will definitely be back 😊.

I made the mistake of buying a product called Eyesential; an under eye enhancer which temporarily erases puffiness, fine lines, dark circles and wrinkles in minutes and lasts for up to 8 hours. I used this product for a period of 7 years. During this time, the skin under and around my eyes became thinner, reddened, chronically dry and intensely wrinkled. I thought there was nothing I could do and would be left like this. I felt so depressed. Then one day when I was in The Skin to Love Clinic having treatment for Laser Hair Removal; I was informed about Thermage for the very first time. I now have this procedure done yearly. Jane has brought my skin back to its original state and more. My confidence has come back and I feel a so much happier. This treatment really works!

I went to The Skin To Love Clinic for a consultation today with regard to gaining treatment advice for the skin on my stomach after having three children. I did my research and after travelling for over an hour I met with Jane. I could not have asked for a warmer welcome from Jane and her team. She instantly put me at ease with her knowledge and understanding of the treatments that are provided at her clinic. She gave me a thorough run down of what she thought would be best for me and why. From the moment I arrived to my departure, I found the staff and environment to be extremely professional yet inviting. I am looking forward to going back and having my treatments.Having now been back to the Clinic to see Jane for the third time today and I stand by what I have said above. Jane is outstanding in her knowledge of treatments and explains them thoroughly. An outstanding setting which I am so pleased I have found and one that I would highly recommend.

The welcome and ambiance of The Skin to Love Clinic was perfect.Jane has a rare skill - she listens! She manages to combine her insight with professionalism , empathy and sound advice.

Fantastic care and service by the Skin to Love clinic as always. Great advice and treatment by Kerry, Stella and Jane. I’ve been visiting the clinic for a few years now and the attention to detail is always their priority and they always take time to explain everything fully. I’d recommend to everyone who would like to improve their skin.

It was my second round of Plasma IQ. Emma was a delight in the pre-care and couldn’t have looked after my needs better.Stella took a long time to review the process from the first Plasma IQ treatment (and the results so far). She then revised the second procedure accordingly to ensure maximum results are achieved.By leaving the numbing cream on for longer, I didn’t experience the sensitivity to the procedure this time and the subsequent swelling is greatly reduced.Everyone at Skin to Love is warm, welcoming and caring. I couldn’t ask for more.

When I had gotten so low in myself, friends and family had noticed a decline in my self-esteem I had to do something.I found the skin clinic on my Facebook wall a quick message and the clinic called me for a consultation the very next day.I was greeted with a confident and reassuring voice and had all my questions answered.My first visit I was greeted by the girls on reception who are so nice and friendly, offered me a warm drink too.Meeting Jane, was just fantastic she explained the causes of rosacea with a little bit of self help Confidence thrown in.Jane, has given me a new skin regime that has made me feel so much better about myself.I am 2 weeks in now with changes happening already!When i saw the results on the screen, it has given me the confidence to carry on with my treatment to achieve the results I would like.A quick appointment and a few tweaks I am on my way to managing my rosacea.Thank you team x

Forget Harley Street - The Skin To Love is the place to go!!My son who suffered from Acne hated his skin so much he wouldn't leave the house, his confidence hit rock bottom and was at a loss with his skin. We tried everything from expensive products to going into London to see dermatologists. One day he told me he'd seen the Skin To Love in St Albans and suggested we go in for a consultation.This was a few months ago and since then I am lost for words on how absolutely incredible Jane and her experienced team have been. Not only has my Son's skin been transformed but they have helped him rebuild his confidence. Nothing is too much trouble at the Skin To Love. The service is 5* and is 100x better than any central London clinic. The team take great care in explaining procedures and products and give great advice if you are ever unsure about anything. You are never forced to buy anything - again unlike most of these London clinics who push their products. I have recommended this wonderful clinic to all my friends and family and can only thank you for helping my Son feel like himself again! Special thanks to the following ANGELS - Jane, Su & Stella and the wonderful reception team who are outstanding in the welcome they give you!

Excellent treatment! The team at The Skin To Love Clinic are professional and provide a very high standard of care. I travelled over 100 miles to visit the clinic and have my treatments with them, this included bypassing clincis in London that offered similar treatments.The Skin to Love Clinic was recommended by a friend and I wound absolutely recommend you make the journey to visit the clinic, even just for a consultation.I wont be looking anywhere else for my skin care products, treatments or clinical advice.

I have never felt so confident about my skin. I feel I can go outside and not wear make up. I am so happy I was introduced to Skin To Love and would definitely recommend for anyone to start using their products. All colleagues make you feel so welcome and are very professional yet really friendly.

I have been going to the Skin to Love Clinic for almost 2 years and have noticed and big improvement in the appearance of my skin. Recently I've been getting spots in the same area of my face and today after a long phonecall with Kerry and went in and had laser treatment to help the acne on my chin. I've already noticed an change in my skin after only 2 hours.

I visited the skin to love clinic in May to have the lip filler procedure. I was extremely pleased with the overall results after my visit. The staff were extremely friendly and the whole procedure was explained to me in great detail with regards to the procedure, side effects, after care the product they use and why the length of time it lasts can vary in different clients. It gave me great confidence in the products they use, the high quality of the clinic and training of the nurses and so I am returning for further treatments in the near future.Thank you to Jane who completed my procedure for me , I love the results and the confidence boost it gave me.
