Research & Development

eurodiet™ is committed to research and development, not only in terms of the formulation of the four dietary phases but more globally by enhancing our understanding of obesity, weight loss and weight measurement.

The conception and development of the eurodiets unique 4 phase programme is a culmination of a whole plethora of research and clinical studies in nutrition, metabolism and weight loss and continues to operate on the basis of current scientific thinking.

Because of the nature of the phase 1 being a very low calorie diet (VLCD), eurodiet™ is dedicated to research in those areas as recommended by the recent SCOOP report on use of VLCD as weight loss management (SCOOP 2002). Thorough routine investigation in these areas forms a major part of the London based clinic facilities modus operandum.

Specifically, eurodiet™ is committed to fund and undertake research into the effects of weight loss on body composition and metabolic rate and have plans to collaborate with leading researchers in this field.

In addition, eurodiet™ is also dedicated to help bridge the gaps in current knowledge in obesity management in those areas suggested by the current NICE guidelines on obesity (NICE 2006), specifically the effectiveness and sustainability of weight loss.

Eurodiet™'s strong commitment to research, with the funding of a research grade facility, and collaboration with leading researchers in the field ensures the scientific credibility and makes it unique compared to other commercial diets.
