Alternative option

The challenge with seeing a nutritionist or dietitian in Glasgow 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 Glasgow has to say about her experience of making healthy lifestyle changes:

1) Have you ever seen a nutritionist or dietitian in the Glasgow area?

No

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

Yes, about eight years ago, on the suggestion of a friend, I joined Slimming World. I tried it for about six months but I didn’t find it very effective.

Before that, I’d been using the online food tracking app MyFitnessPal for tracking meals and exercise so I gave up on Slimming World and went back to MyFitnessPal. Later on I added in the 5:2 eating pattern into that. That slowly did the trick and got me the weight loss I wanted for my daughter’s wedding six years ago.

3) How did you hear about Second Nature?

I saw that a friend of mine on Facebook had liked the Second Nature Facebook page. I knew she had achieved a considerable weight loss, over about a year, after being found to be pre-diabetic. So I had a look at the Second Nature website because I knew I’d put too much weight back on and needed to act to reduce it.

4) What made you sign up?

I’m happy using online apps. From looking at the Second Nature website I liked the way the programme is set up: the peer group, mentor, recipes. I like the topics that Second Nature bring into the programme: mindfulness, exercise, etc. When I filled in the little questionnaire on the website, my results suggested that I could lose 7.5kg over the 3 months. I have never lost that amount of weight that quickly. I didn’t exactly believe I would lose that much but I’d have been happy with half of the amount. So I signed up. I actually lost 8kg in the 3 months!

5) Do you feel that Second Nature is good value for money?

I think it’s excellent value for money, both the 3 month and the sustain programme.

I really appreciated the peer group and the input from our mentor, plus the recipes are amazingly good.
