Digital weight programme for adults

Our digital weight management programme offers flexible, online support to help adults reach a healthy weight and build healthier habits that last.

Delivered through the Second Nature app, this programme gives you expert guidance, peer support and easy-to-follow tools.

It’s a great option if you want flexible support to manage your weight at your own pace, from home, and without attending weekly sessions.

What’s included?

The programme focuses on simple, enjoyable meals and lifelong lifestyle changes, no calorie counting, points or ‘syns’.  You are signed up to a three-month app-based programme, which includes:

  • one-to-one support from a registered dietitian or nutritionist
  • online peer support with others on the programme through group chats
  • tools to track your progress, including weight and daily steps
  • over 300 healthy recipes
  • daily bite-sized articles on nutrition, movement, sleep, stress and wellbeing

After completing the three-month programme, you’ll continue to have ongoing access to the app and resources.
