Weight loss programmes, each side by side with Metaboliq

Most programmes sold in India fall into five shapes. App coaching plans, where an AI or human coach reads the meals you log. Glucose-sensor plans, built around a continuous glucose monitor and the graph it draws. Doctor-led programmes, which start with a blood test and a consultation. Clinic networks, where you visit a centre for sessions. And online movement communities, with live yoga or strength classes each day.

Each shape suits a different person. A movement class builds a habit. An app builds awareness of what you eat. A doctor-led programme reads what is happening inside your body first and plans around it.

Compare the same number of months. A 12-month app plan and a single first step are different purchases, and a monthly figure hides what the full programme costs. Write down the full price for the full term before you start.

Compare what is included, line by line: how many doctor consultations, which blood markers and how often, whether a nutritionist and a fitness coach are on the team, and who you message on a hard day. The side-by-side pages above set those lines out for each programme, with a link to the page each fact came from.

First: who reads your blood results, and are they a registered doctor whose registration you can check? Weight travels with blood sugar, insulin, thyroid and liver results, and a plan written without them is written for a body type rather than for you.

Second: what happens to your muscle? When the scale moves, part of what leaves can be muscle, and muscle is what keeps your metabolism up after the programme ends. Ask how muscle is measured, and what the plan does to protect it.

Metaboliq is a doctor-led programme, and every programme starts with a doctor on our panel. Most people start with the health assessment: a blood test of 45+ metabolic markers collected at your home by a partnered NABL-accredited laboratory, a registered doctor who reads it with you on a video consultation around day 3, a health coach session and a personalised plan.

The Core, Premium and Elite programmes each run a fixed six months, with a nutritionist, a health coach and a fitness coach, doctor reviews monthly or weekly, and repeat blood tests every quarter or more often. Every price is printed on the pricing page, and every doctor's registration on the care team page.

Every statement about another programme is their own published words, read on their own website and linked on the page with the date it was read. A price appears only when it is published on a page we could read and link to; where it is not, the page says so.

The pages carry no scores, no customer quotes and no claims about anyone's results. The pages are read again on a schedule, and a fact more than six months old is read again before it stays.
