PronoKal is a global provider of a unique medically supervised weight loss programme. Launched in Spain in 2003, the company has established further operations throughout Europe, Latin America and Canada and is launching in the UK in April 2010.
Overweight or obese patients are treated by doctors (both general practitioners and consultants), who have previously followed PronoKal’s training and are thereby members of the PronoKal network. Suitable patients are then put through a tailored treatment programme designed to safely reduce their weight as well as re-educating their eating and lifestyle habits for lasting results.
The treatment includes a protein diet, which is based on the research of Dr Blackburn (a renowned nutritional specialist at Harvard University) and supported by extensive proven medical research. It achieves weight loss by reducing carbohydrates and lipids intake whilst ensuring the body receives its required amount of proteins, vitamins and minerals. The patient has access to PronoKal’s varied range of food and beverage products. During this process, doctors and PronoKal’s registered dietitians remain involved one-on-one to monitor, advise and provide re-educational dietary support to the patient.
This combination of tailored supervision and support from PronoKal trained doctors and PronoKal registered dietitians ensures that the protocol is properly followed and therefore maximises the probability of successful weight loss. Once the target weight has been attained, the company provides a two year personalised maintenance program, managed by its dietitians.
PronoKal treats a yearly run rate of 50,000 patients internationally. Currently, 1000 doctors prescribe the treatment.
