Alternative option

The challenge with seeing a nutritionist or dietitian in Manchester is that you have to take a few hours out of your week to travel to and from the session and have the consultation. There are also travelling expenses associated with face-to-face consultations.

In the current climate, most in-face appointments have been shifted to online but might still cost the same amount. On top of this, you’re limited to your appointment slot rather than getting support as and when you need it. 

For this reason, many people prefer the convenience of an online programme, where they can communicate with their nutritionist or dietitian around their busy lifestyle. Plus, many individuals find a digital peer support group to be motivating and helpful. 

Second Nature is a digital programme that helps you to lose weight and make sustainable lifestyle changes. Second Nature combines support from registered nutritionists and dietitians with the convenience of an app-based programme.

Many people are more familiar with Weight Watchers or Slimming World, so we created a guide comparing the digital programmes with Second Nature to help you decide what’s best for you.

The Second Nature programme focuses on three areas that lead to long-term habit change: tracking, support, and education. When you sign up for the programme, you receive:

1. Daily support from a registered dietitian or nutritionist health coach
2. A digital peer support group 
3. 2-week, risk-free trial
4. Hundreds of in-app recipe videos 
5. Daily educational articles
6. Meal planning and journaling tools
7. Steps, weight, and habit tracking technology

We’ll help you replace bad habits with healthy ones, entirely from our app with no need for face-to-face meetings.

Meet a member

Don’t just take our word for it, hear what a Second Nature member who lives in Manchester has to say about her experience of making healthy lifestyle changes:

 

1) Have you ever tried any weight loss programmes or slimming clubs prior to Second Nature?

In the past, I tried Rosemary Conley classes. They did work for me but didn’t stick and I soon slipped into bad habits.

2) What popular options are there for someone looking to lose weight in Manchester?

There are Slimming World and Weight Watchers classes locally, but I have seen many friends fail at both. They were not for me!

3) How did you hear about Second Nature?

I had been advised by the doctor that I was at risk of pre-diabetes and that I needed to lose some weight to reduce this risk. I was asked if I was willing to do something about it and I was!

4) What made you sign up?

I had a phone call asking if I would participate as part of an NHS trial and it sounded like a great opportunity and, being a bit of a techie, I loved the idea of it being app-driven and connecting people in similar circumstances across the country.

5) Has Second Nature been worth it for you?

Being part of the NHS trial I have not paid for Second Nature myself. That being said, I have lost 4 stones since starting Second Nature 13 weeks ago and with this outcome, I would be more than happy to pay for this service.
