• Which plan is right for me?

  

  It really depends on you, your goals, and your preferences. The first factor to consider is that, if you're diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, our medication plans won't be suitable for you due to safety reasons. Our soups & shakes plan, however is based on decades of research into type 2 diabetes remission, and can be a safe and effective way to lose weight and potentially come off medications and achieve remission from type 2 diabetes.[1,2]
  
  If you're looking to lose weight (and don't have a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes), you may be eligible for both types of plans. In this case, it's important to consider which plan might fit best into your lifestyle. Soups & shakes requires a pretty intensive change for 3 months, whereas our medication-based plans don't demand as much of an adjustment. On the other hand, however, many people will prefer not to use medications to reach their goals, so it really depends on your preference.

• How much weight can I lose?

  

  Just as every person responds differently to each type of diet and exercise plan, every weight loss journey is unique.
  
  That said, there is loads of scientific evidence behind both soups & shakes, as well as weight loss medications.
  
  Regardless of which plan you pick, the importance of engaging with behavioural change cannot be understated. Maintaining a healthy weight depends on maintaining healthy habits, which engaging with our habit change content and exercises can help you to to.
• For how long do Habitual plans last?

  

  Our soups & shakes plan lasts for a total of four months. The first three months we guide you through an 800kcal per day weight loss plan (using either two of our meals and one home cooked meal, or four Habitual meals, per day), followed by one month of food reintroduction to help you build the nutritional habits that will enable you to keep the weight off. Throughout this you'll have access to daily behaviour change content via the Habitual app, and you'll get lifelong access to the app for free after completing your four months.
  
  Our medication plans don't have a set length, as it will depend on your weight loss goals and your plans for maintaining your weight loss. The best results in clinical trials were seen after about one year of consistent use on medication, however with Habitual you can always pause, delay, or cancel your plan. Your app comes with daily expert-written behaviour change content and unlimited 1-on-1 & group support for as long as you have an active subscription with us.
