Best practice guidelines

What sets the Slimavite Bite Plan apart from other commercial diets is our unswerving commitment to follow NICE best practice guidelines as closely as possible, as practiced by the best dietitians and other health professionals.

NICE is the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, it’s members are respected heath care professionals and doctors who are highly qualified to make recommendations about best practice for dieting. They regularly commission cutting-edge research about losing weight effectively and keeping it off. Health professionals have a green light from the government to recommend to their patients commercial diets that meet NICE guidelines.

Check out the NICE guidelines below and see how we have incorporated the key guidelines into all aspects of the Bite Plan and our amazing tools and support.
