Frequently Asked Questions
Is weight loss medicine safe?
For the right person, with a doctor monitoring, it is widely used. It is not right for everyone, which is why the eligibility consult reviews your history, current medicines and tests before anything is prescribed.
Which medicine will I be given?
That is decided by the doctor at your consult, based on your health and goals. We do not advertise or promise a specific medicine, and some people are advised against medicine altogether.
How much weight will I lose?
We do not promise kilos. Results vary with your starting point, your health and how closely you follow the protein and strength plan. Dr Amit will tell you what is realistic for you at the consult.
What happens when I stop?
The taper and maintenance plan is written in month one. You come off the medicine gradually, with protein and strength habits already in place, so the weight is far less likely to return.
Will I lose hair or get loose skin?
Fast weight loss with too little protein can cause both. Protecting muscle, hair and skin is built into the Triad, and Dr Amit checks them at every review.
I am vegetarian. Can I hit the protein target?
Yes. Your protein plan is built around Indian vegetarian meals, with options for dal, paneer, curd, soya and more.
Do I need to visit the clinic?
No. The consult and monthly reviews happen by video. If you are near Thane, Andheri, Bandra or Dahisar you are welcome to come in.
Who reviews me every month?
Dr Amit himself. Our team supports you on WhatsApp between reviews and replies within two hours on working days.
Can I pay monthly?
Yes. Rs 30,000 a month with medicine included, or Rs 1,00,000 for the full four-month course.
What if I am not eligible?
You will be told on the call, with the reason, and with what you can do instead. You pay only the Rs 499 consult.
(book the Rs 499 eligibility consult by video. if it isn't right for you, you'll hear that on the same call.)
