Here are your options

Unfortunately you are ineligible for our programme but you may be eligible for our meal replacement programme.

If you are not eligible for a GLP-1 medication plan, you may be wondering why - and what your options are now.

We understand  it can be disappointing to hear that you are ineligible. All medications carry risks and have the potential to cause harm, which is why we have a number of safety procedures in place including several checks to ensure the wellbeing of each and every patient that comes to us.

If you have been directed to this page, it is likely due to one or more of the reasons outlined below. Whilst our prescription option may not be suitable for you, Habitual offers much more than just medication and there are many other ways we can support you on your weight loss journey.

Firstly, let us explain why you may not be eligible for a programme that includes a GLP-1 medication.

  • You must have a BMI of 30+ or 27+ with certain weight related conditions such as high blood pressure, prediabetes, high cholesterol, polycystic ovarian syndrome, sleep apnoea, osteoarthritis and others.
  • Some current and previous conditions relating to the pancreas, gallbladder, thyroid and heart can pose a risk and we therefore do not prescribe to these patients.
  • We do not prescribe to people with type 2 diabetes on medication as we feel this is best managed by your usual clinical team (such as your GP or diabetic nurse) due to potential interactions
  • As on online service there are certain mental health conditions which we feel are best managed in person
  • We prescribe to patients aged 18-75 years old

If prescribed inappropriately, there is a potential risk of acute kidney issues, inflammation of the pancreas, dangerously low blood sugars, and stomach problems.

If you are reading through these and don’t believe they apply to you, then there is a chance you entered something incorrect on our assessment. We recommend you complete the form again and double check your answers. If you are still having problems, please get in touch with our team on hello@tryhabitual.com so that we can investigate this further for you. 

If any of these reasons do apply to you, then our clinicians are unable to prescribe GLP-1 medication for you at this time. We do review our eligibility criteria as new research is released, so you may be eligible again in the future.

What to do if you are ineligible?

‍

Since starting Habitual 5 years ago, we have helped thousands of people lose weight, reverse  type 2 diabetes, and improve their overall health with a low calorie plan called Total Diet Replacement alongside the Habitual app and support. As an NHS partner, our programme is delivered all across the UK to patients as well as to private customers through our website.

There is extensive clinical evidence for Total Diet Replacement (frequently called a soups and shakes diet) resulting in 15% average weight loss. [1]

What is a soups and shakes diet?

During a soups and shakes diet, you replace all or some of your meals with nutritionally-complete shakes, soups, and porridges for a period of 3 months before reintroducing healthy foods into your diet. Our total diet replacement meals contain all of the nutrients your body needs while being only 200kcal each. It's this nutritional profile that keeps you feeling fuller for longer, despite consuming fewer calories.

Is an 800kcal/day diet safe?

Yes! A daily 800kcal diet has been tested in large randomised control trials and proven to be not only safe, but also incredibly effective. When you consume your daily 800kcals via total diet replacement diet meals, you won’t have to worry about eating balanced meals or supplementing with vitamins, as they contain all of the essential nutrients your body needs to stay healthy and well.

What is included?

  • Free shaker bottle with your first monthly order
  • Free taster box to try all 10 Habitual meals
  • Then 4 Habitual meals to enjoy per day - no other meals needed
  • Just £1.65 per meal on a 4/day plan
