Best Lose Weight Sydney Near Me

danuta champness: The best weight loss program I’ve tried and the last one I’ll ever need. Good sensible advice and best of all, the program works! Thanks Dr Nick and staff.

Simon Howden: The IWL program has been a fantastic relief for me. It has provided a much needed road map to navigate my weight gain. I have found it relatively easy to follow, with the basis being behavioural changes. The small incremental steps within the progam provide realistic and achievable milestones that I have been able to celebrate along the way. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to have a healthy life style.

Debra Davis: I love how much "space" I have to deal with the many unlearning facets of my chronic dieting now that my eating has a context to exist within. I didn't realize how much I was affected by an all or nothing mentality until I heard Dr. Nick talk about it. Now that I'm aware of how that mentality feeds directly into downward emotional spirals I can do something about it.

Linda Smith: A most sensible weight loss eating plan. Dr Nick Fuller has simple easy to follow principles that guide you to make healthy choices with no burdens of weighing food or counting calories. The books are informative and easy to read. Totally recommend this programme.

Chris Deer: Excellent program. Turned to them when other attempts failed. A very smart and understanding approach to losing weight. No crazy meal plans, no restricted foods, just some sensible guidelines which are designed to be implemented slowly. Additional support and resources are provided and its a very affordable program. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to improve their health, lose weight, or generally feel better in their body.

Aliesha Treasure: Interval Weight Loss is the best evidenced-based approach to weight loss and health that I have found. The six Principles that underpin the program become your way of life. I really like that no food groups are excluded and that you choose to do exercise you enjoy. It is a completely sustainable way of losing weight and becoming healthy. I have achieved many personal and weight loss goals on the program and won't ever to anything else. I highly recommend trying Interval Weight Loss for yourself.

Sharon Contin: I have been a member of IWL for two years now. Heading towards 130kg it was time to find a program based on science and common sense. For me that was the Interval Weight Loss program. Today I am 20kg down and my life has changed in so many ways. I am so happy, I no longer fear the scales, I have changed so much of my diet and I am the happiest and healthiest I have ever been in my life. The IWL community is wonderful, supportive, full of advice and encouragement. What are you waiting for..............choose IWL and start the journey to change your life

Possum: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,QualityIWL is a game changer! I now have the energy to exercise daily and I love how it has become a way of life!

Jan Beaumont: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,QualityThis is a great lifestyle program and it has helped me change bad habits into good ones. It it not a quick fix but it is a long term fix. Diet and exercise that is realistic.

Steph de Sousa: IWL has been a game changer for me. The freedom to jump off the diet roundabout has beennlige changing.

Bet Reichstein: I started following Dr. Nick Fuller's IWL plan January 2020, following a long history of on and off dieting, always able to loose some weight, but never able to maintain that loss for long before eating felt out of control again and the weight was regained, sometimes more.... round and round.I read one of Dr Nick's books, and the strong scientific basis of the IWL plan really appealed to me, together with Dr Nick's practical experience as a clinician and researcher. Then the plan went online, with an app!This plan is about learning how to eat regular nutritious foods, about moving and exercise, about replacing unhelpful habits with good habits that support and improve health.... there is no diet! It is not a quick fix, so being prepared for slow and steady progress over time is essential so as to not feel discouraged...I reached my 1st weight loss goal in October 2020, and I'm now working toward my 2nd and final weight goal.. so 11kg down now, 11cm off my waist measurement. I feel really good, I enjoy hiking more now that hills are easier! I look forward to reaching my 2nd goal in the near future and I feel optimistic about moving to maintenance mode... just a healthy way of life, and I have learned this along the way.

Darilyn McMullen: I found the food not so different to what I normally eat.The recipes and meal suggestions were mostly delicious and the amount of food was more than enough.Tracking - keeping note of what you eat every day was very helpful and it didn't take long for me to work out a plan that suited me. Tracking made me more aware of the daily balance of food units consumed and of the energy expenditure each day.I lost 8 kilos in 12 weeks. That makes me feel so different.I'm more active now, less lethargic, I have less joint and muscle pain, I can exercise more and my moods are more balanced.

David Tierney: Can highly recommend the CSIRO Total well Being Diet. Its not a diet but a lifestyle change. Have dropped 11kg in the first 12 weeks with little change to exercise habits. Have signed up for P2 and with increasing exercise and eating right with the help of the program know that I will continue to work towards a healthier me.

Ann Dunbar: I’ve had great success on the CSIRO TWD, I’ve lost 8 1/2 kg in the first 12 weeks, the program was easy to follow and the app gave lots of choices to swap in the meal plan, I would recommend this exercise & eating lifestyle to everyone!

Angela Bruce: I just finished the CSIRO 12 Week Total Wellbeing Diet. This is more than just a diet, it is a complete lifestyle change that works!! For me it was less about the number on the scales dropping (which it did) but more about how I feel and my confidence which has grown. The program is so easy to follow. At first it is a little daunting how much food I needed to consume to meet the requirements but as things levelled out and I started to see the change, it was easy to keep going. And the support from the community was fantastic. I would totally recommend this program to anyone wanting to not just loose a few kilos but make a healthy lifestyle change. You won't regret it!

Jenni Reid: Dreadful support . Non existent . Website difficult to navigate

Nigel Gerr: WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE! I do not recommend. Don’t sign onto any plans and let them charge your card. Utterly disappointing with program.

Maria Costanzo: I joined CSIRO TWD Fast Start Shakes Program in January. I was worried how I was going to cope on these shakes after previous experience (pharmacy brand) suffering severe migraines. I had no problems. In fact I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed taking the morning shake and to the lunch shake adding a fruit turning it into a smoothie. I was never hungry during this time and quite enjoyed them. The meal plans are helpful to get started on this journey. After a few weeks I was able to free-style to suit me, importantly, still tracking everything I had. I've lost weight very slowly this time round. This could be due to medical reasons as my doctor confirmed, though on the plus side my cholesterol levels have improved. I'm hoping to continue till I reach my goal weight, so a few more kilos to go, which is always the hardest

Catherine Davis: Highly recommend; wide variety of menus to suit everyone and far more interesting than what I previously ate. I’ve lost almost 10kg and counting! The app, articles, tracker and shopping list are invaluable.

Roslyn Alexander: If you have been struggling with weight loss, take the plunge and give it a go. It truly works!!!

Ruth Turner: Give this a go, you will not go hungry and you will loose weight but this is NOT a quick fix !

Jeanette Lees: I had amazing results on the CSIRO total wellbeing 12 week plan. By trusting the science and using the tracking apps I lost a whopping 15kg over the 12 weeks

Bev Baxter: Wonderful program that helps to motivate and rassess my eating and healthy living plan - wish I had started manmy years ago - loving it!

Robyn Duckworth: After a health scare late last year, I decided I seriously needed to do something to make sure I improved my physical wellbeing and drop the weight that had been steadily increasing, leading me in a pre-diabetes direction. I chose CSIRO total wellbeing program due to it's reputation and previously using one of their recipe books. I am thrilled with it and for the first time can imagine I can embed this way of eating long-term. The recipes are engaging and tasty, the online tracker easy to use, the food groups make perfect sense and the exercise videos which admittedly I am still to really engage with are clear and professionally presented. My diet type was identified as "Foodie" which surprised me, but was useful information, as I really do like different types of food. I realised while I was eating mostly healthy things, I was overeating. On this program I don't get hungry and it hasn't been hard to stick to it, despite being on holidays for 4 weeks in January. I am halfway to the weight loss goal the program identified, having lost 8 kgs in just over 3 months. I am feeling much better with loads more energy. I've received my refund and commenced on the 2nd 3-month program.

Barry O'Dwyer: Really getting somewhere with this program, finally after trying so many diets, great tools and support, finding that the meal plans are doable, great health coaching sessions, highly recommended

Kathryn Kit: I was very nervous about starting this program, however, took the plunge on the 30th June 2021 (Wednesday) and purchased the program. I commenced the program on Monday 5th July 2021, as I wanted the weekend to stock the fridge/ freezer/pantry and figure out the program. The program has interchangeable menus thankfully as I do not tolerate sea food. I wanted to try SO many of the recipes but perhaps I took on too much. So decided on choosing the one item from the menu for breakfast, a couple of things for lunch and dinner. That way I could try a few recipes and decide what I like most. I found my new breakfast (Uncle Tobies Swiss Muesli 45g, Chia seeds 7g, Ground cinnamon 2g with Chobani yoghurt 170g - to me this is the BEST BREAKFAST EVER and occasionally will have it as a desert at night! bonus!) Chobani yoghurt is very yummy!I have found so many different recipes to try however have my favourite few.Some days, I just find there to be too much food to consume. For my 12 week program I lost just over 11kg. I was happy to be going DOWN on the scales and not UP as I had been going!. The editorials were good. The downloadable PDF's very helpful. Once you get used to it is easy and I love the daily food/water/step tracker. I had been using another one before this however, feel the accountability with CSIRO to be worthwhile for me personally.

Faye: Highly recommend TWD diets. It's worth the full price to develop healthy eating patterns and achieve a better weight. The hope of getting a full refund was also a great motivator (and I got there!! - make sure you read the guidelines carefully at the start). I lost 6.6kg over 12 weeks despite trips away, eating out and substitutions for dietary intolerances. My husband and I both enjoyed the meals and rarely felt hungry. There are a number of different options to suit different goals and food preferences and good help too.

Amy Mapunda: Lost 11kg on the 12 week plan and couldn't be happy.Not like a fad diet where you loose weight but then gain it back just as quick ...the CSIRO TWD teaches you how to have a balanced diet.You can still treat yourself too, which i believe is important.The negitive things wasThat I did find the recipes used a lot of the same ingredients in the same week. Which I'm sure people might prefer when they do their shopping so less waste.And the recipes didn't always match the picture.But apart from those small things, the diet is great and would totally recommend it.So good that you get your money back too. It's like your reward for doing so well.Thanks CSIRO!!!

Elaine Francis: 6 kilos down over the 12 week program wasn't the best news. Just how much food every day, was amazing.

Katie Topping: Simple, delicious food with a range of meal plans to suit everyone. I like cooking, but don't necessarily like spending hours on food prep after work, so the fact that most of the recipes were ready in around 30 minutes was ideal for me. The tracker is really useful, and the private Facebook group full of lovely people to cheer you along. I lost exactly the amount that the plan predicted, and even earned a refund!If you are looking for a new, healthier way of eating, then this is the diet for you.

Sue Smith: Whoever would have thought that this is so very easy. Like 1 2 31.Do your prep 2. Stick to the Program 3. and Smile on weigh in day

Samantha Rowley: Julie Rice your amazing! Over 5 years and you helped hubby and I stop smoking, we are still going strong. Best service ever!! We thank you so much x

Haidee Torning: I booked hypnotic health to help me quit smoking and it was the best decision. Julie made the whole experience comfortable and rewarding and while quitting was still tough I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the hypnotherapy. It made all the difference and I’m confident I won’t be a smoker ever again. I highly recommend hypnotic health if you are trying to quit.

Carl Ratcliff: Amazing treatment. Julie is remarkable. I am truly grateful for helping me to stop smoking so painlessly and after years of trying umpteen other ways and means!

Enya Gannon: If it wasn't for Julie I'm sure I would not have been able to stop smoking...it took 3 attempts, but it's been 18 months now and this time I am confident I will need smoke a cigarette again. Julie's sessions are very therapeutic, and she is very intuitive and compassionate ..thank you Julie!

Dan R: Met with Julie a number of years ago to get assistance with quitting smoking once and for all. Had an amazing experience and found the process quite powerful. I am successfully free from the habit since my final session with her all those years ago - thank you Julie!

Zoe Denis: Thank you Julie for your genuine interest and support in helping me quitting smoking. I couldn't have done it without you. It is a miracle thank you 😁

Candice Staadecker: Julie Rice came highly recommended from a few people that have seen her for various issues. Julie successfully treated me and I am feeling so much better having tackled an issue that had really impacted my life. She is also a lovely and gentle therapist that I would imagine can relate to all types of people so don't worry about reading any more reviews just make a booking!

Lesley Morris: It isn't always easy to talk about anxiety and negative thoughts. I can say that I was at ease with Julie and felt safe. Julie is a very empathetic and knowledgeable lady who helped me get control over my feelings. I would recommend Julie to anyone.

L.A McKay: Julie was brilliant and helped tailor make a hypnotherapy program for my needs. Have since felt fully focused and at the top of my game. Sessions with her are a must for any self doubters and procrastinators out there!

Jared Bolton: Julie is amazing! I have been smoke free for 18 months now. I could not recommend her therapy enough.

Michelle Ann: I had a 3 hour session with Julie for weight loss. I am so glad I found her. She is an amazing lady, very empathetic & easy to talk to. My total outlook on food has changed, and I am losing weight. Thank you Julie!!!

Paul Fitzpatrick: Julie provides a great service and helped me give up smoking. Its been almost 7 months now and I still have no need or urge to have a smoke. Highly recommended.

rose wilkie: No result for me at all from my three sessions unfortunately. Just $500 out of pocket and a waste of my time and energy right before having a baby. Really disappointed :(

Douglas Frewin: Working with Julie was an absolute pleasure. Her practice was not something I was familiar with prior to our appointments, and for myself, the results were significant. Julie is professional, personal, empathetic, and great at what she does. I would highly recommend her services to anyone that wants results. Julie - thank you very much! A+++

Just an Opinion: Its been 17 months since Julie helped free me from a 30 year addiction to cigarettes. I didn't actually think hypnosis would work, but I felt so desperate to stop I figured I had nothing to lose ( except the $500, which I've since recouped plus the thousands more I've saved not buying a packet of cigarettes every day.) What surprised me the most was how easy it was. I had bought a new packet before my 2nd session with Julie (like I said, I didn't think it would actually work!) but when I got in my car to drive home afterwards I thought 'oh, this is where I usually have a cigarette '....only I didn't have one, I even laughed at the situation. I had that thought often in the first weeks, e.g. Every coffee, glass of wine, phone call etc....but still didn't have one, only laughed out loud at how I was finally free from being a slave to cigarettes. Gradually I thought less and less about cigarettes (maybe coincides with time it takes to detox from nicotine?) and before I knew it 6 months had passed, a year and now it's been 17 months. My only regret was leaving it so long to make an appointment. I wasnt sure which hypnotist to go to...there are so many...I think I chose Julie instinctively...Julie herself is a lovely person. She's genuinely concerned with helping people and very intuitive. I found it very easy to open up to her and trust her. If you're serious about stopping smoking but can't do it alone then I highly recommend Julie Rice. I saw Julie again last week to help me lose weight (not related to stopping smoking btw)...its too early to tell except I've definitely been eating less and not craving my previously obligatory sweet 'treat' in the afternoon...thanks Julie!

Sue. a: 2 months and still going "SMOKE FREE" ....I didn't think it was possible to ever quit after 30years of smoking.. Thank you Julie sooo much i couldn't have done it without your help :)... now I'm going to need your help to shed the weight I pounded.

Garth G: 63 days and counting, it was a success so far for me and Julie as great to deal withStill going strong!

Jan Scott: I got a great deal out of my sessions and I know that I've learned strategies which will stay with me for long term health benefits. Thanks Julie!

jai Jai: Cannot comment as tried to make an appointment and received no reply to my inquiry.

Grimmo: It’s now 9 years since Dr Craig Taylor did my gastric sleeve procedure his skills are amazing he changed my life I’m so much more agile and happy living my lifeI recommend him highly!

Jess Goode: I had the mini bypass back in nov 2018 and I so far have lost 100kg, the support that I have received from the oclinic has been absolutely outstanding,I had surgery with dr lepage was meant to go with dr taylor but i didnt want to wait till December. Meeting with both surgeons they were both very clear about my options and answered all my questions.I can not speak more highly of the oclinic and I was lucky enough for the doctors to accept me into the concord program.By far the best descion of my life.I would have absolutey no hesitation in referring people to thr oclinic ,the follow up care that you receive is amazing

Jessica Ruttley-Nicholls: The best decision ever was getting an appointment with the team at the Oclinic. 55kg down in 9 months, I have my life back and it’s better then ever before! So thankful to the team!

Elias Faj: Dr Craig Taylor and the team at the OClinic are really worth every cent! I had bariatric surgery on 15 September 2021 and have since dropped 56kg, the surgery really does work and all you have to do is follow the simple instructions of the surgeon and dietician! I have added years onto my life and eliminated any previous health problems. The follow up from the OClinic is amazing and the team really do care. Anyone that says the surgery doesn’t work must have not put in the effort. Thank you Dr Taylor and team. Really a first class clinic.

troy parnell: I had weight loss surgery done by Craig Taylor about 8 year's ago. Ive always had problems. Craig response was just don't eat as much. and you be right. 2 years ago I went to see craig again. He just wanted more money. Thats all it's about. I walked out feeling like a number. I ended up choosing another surgeon. Had a gastric bypass done. He's response was "who was the butcher that done your sleeve and also any wonder you having so much trouble." My recommendations is to Stay right away from Oclinic

Sam tron: 17 Month Update. 148kg to 78kg. -70kgThis has been an incredibly emotional journey.I haven't handled it the best. There have been ups and downs.The Oclinic has been awesome in supporting me, and frankly putting up with my moods. I'm so sorry they've had to do that. They've been exceptionally compassionate.I had 2 small hiccups, I got emotional, and I was very well supported. Oclinic and Dr. Taylor went WELL ABOVE AND BEYOND to support me. I did not deserve it, and I was still supported, and more, treated with kindness and compassion and extraordinary service excellence.I'm so glad that I cancelled my operation with one doctor and chose the Oclinic instead. I asked a Facebook group for a recommendation, and many people recommended Dr Taylor and the Oclinic... Now, I know why.I have not done everything perfectly...But I have been scared and desperate. After some early mistakes, I started tracking calories, and I was working out in the gym, from 4 weeks post op, religiously.If I could suggest anything to those that follow after me...1. Fix your head. ASAP. Get help. The operation is a band aid otherwise...it's temporary if you don't fix the root cause, in my opinion. I'm working on this, and I won't be stopping. I've got amazing support, including that provided by the Oclinic after care.2. Take Progress photos every 2 weeks at least. Same poses. Front, side and back. Your head will lie to you. People will tell you, "you look amazing". But photos never lie. And YOU WILL STALL. OFTEN. Those photos will blow you away.3. Track your calories. Drinks and food. Make it your new habit. It isn't really suggested by doctors and nutritionists. But for me this was a game changer. It allowed me to know exactly what worked, what didn't, and WHY. I have scales...everywhere. Car, kitchen, bedroom. Might be excessive. But it works.4. Lastly, you really need to change. If you didn't move before, you need to move now. Daily. And track it. Find something fun you always dreamed/wanted to do. And just f@cking do it. If you ate x everyday? Find the healthier substitute. Or just don't eat that anymore. For me it was substituting chocolate with sugar free chocolate. And I don't drink alcohol anymore.This is the most incredible gift I've ever been given. My current goals are:1. Weight Maintenance = 3 more months2. Lean Muscle Gain = 5kg, 3 years, 10% body fat3. Learn Martial Arts = ASAPGod Bless during Covid. Ever grateful to Dr Taylor and the amazing team at the Oclinic. I'll never forget how much you've changed my life. Thank you.

Aaron Baril: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality

Anne Nesbitt: I had a gastric sleeve nearly 5 years ago with Dr Craig Taylor and he changed my life. I have lost 80kg since then (yes.....a whole person!!) and added decades to my life. I'm more active in my children's life and feel more confident in myself.The whole experience from pre-op to post-op as well as guidance from the dietitian and support staff was amazing.When people ask me about my experience, I cannot praise the team at OClinic enough, so much so that a close friend also had her sleeve done through the OClinic.Thanks Dr Taylor and the team at OClinic for giving me back my life.

Jess Mehegan: The OClinic with its multidisciplinary team has made all the difference as it keeps you in the loop and not forgotten (and accountable!). Can’t speak more highly!

Ashleigh Enyingwa: Friendliest staff and great, confident and personable surgeon. Very happy with my experience here and would highly recommend :)

Looking forward to sharing this great journey with them!

Elleyce Freeman: I can’t recommend the Oclinic enough. The staff are extremely helpful and made my journey very easy. I went through the concord program and the support I have received has been wonderful. It’s a life changing opportunity and if you are thinking of taking the next step in creating a better life for yourself definitely give the Oclinic a call.

emma spotswood: I had a fantastic experience with the O Clinic for my gastric sleeve surgery. I had no complications and have had great support by the clinic. Everything went very smoothly and would recommend doing the surgery through the O Clinic to others in a similar position.

Sandra White: I have had my band for 12 years and lost 30 Kilo's, the support in the early days was great, however, my band was loosened a lot and as a result I have put on ten Kilo's in 3 months, even while on limited calories and regular exercise. While the staff are lovely its so difficult to get an appointment and to have my needs met.
