What the 12 weeks include
- An assessment with a registered dietitian: weight history, health, meals, work and sleep
- A plan built on your meals, from swallow and rice to street food, with portions that fit
- A daily protein target, so the weight you lose is fat and not muscle
- Check-ins every two weeks by video or WhatsApp
- A review at 12 weeks, measurements then against now
- Cooked Indoors meals delivered, if you want them cooked for you
Who it suits
Anyone with a BMI of 25 or more who wants to lose weight with food and habits, and anyone who would rather not take medicine. The free check tells you if another programme suits you better.
If it is not enough
If you have lost less than 5% of your weight at 12 weeks and you qualify, you can move to the medical programme with a doctor. Nothing is wasted: your dietitian stays with you.
Not sure this is the right programme?
The free check takes two minutes, needs no name, and gives you one next step.

Will I have to stop eating Nigerian food?
No. The plan is built on the meals you already eat, with changes to portions, timing and what goes with what.
How much weight will I lose?
A steady 0.5 to 1 kg a week is a good pace for most people. Your dietitian sets a target with you at the start.
Is the dietitian registered?
Yes. Every Balance dietitian is a registered dietitian, recruited and supervised with Cooked Indoors.
