We’ve been researching weight loss and weight management for over 25 years, with our evidence regularly published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at major obesity conferences around the world, including both the European and International Congress on Obesity.

We are committed to maintaining a high level of investment in the science behind our programmes, by supporting a wide range of research projects. These include the University of Surrey, the Rotherham Institute for Obesity (RIO), King’s College London and Newcastle University.
