The PronoKal Plan

PronoKal is a natural low calorie medically supervised ketogenic diet.   Our bodies enter a state of ketosis when we have eliminated carbohydrate and switch to burning fat as our fuel source.  Therein lies the beauty of the PNK method.  We loose fat and muscle is preserved, energy levels remain constant and appetite is diminished.  Muscle is essential for our bodies tone and takes up less space than fat and uses more energy even whilst sleeping.  With Pronokal you will be under the supervision of specially trained doctors, motivating nutritionists and online personal trainers.  The programme is phased from initial weight loss to rehabilitation and you will be personally guided and supported throughout the process.  

How does it work?

After an initial consultation which includes a full health check and blood work you can commence the programme.  You will eat between 4 and 6 PronoKal products a day depending on your requirements including vegetables for lunch and dinner.  Products are completely natural and vegetarian though not vegan.  These meal replacement products contain high biological quality protein which is necessary to protect your muscle.  Supplementation provides 100% of the adult daily requirements of vitamins and minerals plus omega 3 fish oil.  There is no need to plan your meals, other than vegetables so you easily receive all your daily nutrients with PronoKal.

Rapid weight loss

PronoKal removes almost all fat and carbohydrate from its nutrition products making it a very low calorie diet.  This leads to rapid weight loss.

With our medically led team, we can help…

What Makes Our Weight Loss Plan So Different?

Our medically controlled approach can help you achieve a rational attitude to weight loss. We look at why you have gained weight, not just predetermined ways to lose it. Through an evaluation of your medical history and of how your environment affects you, we develop an individualised programme and give you full support on your weight-loss journey, helping you take a positive step towards lasting change in your life.

The world has changed...

It is plain to see that our lifestyles and environment have changed dramatically:

  • We are too busy to take care of our diet and to exercise…even to sleep adequately
  • Supermarkets increasingly offer convenience foods that contain more salt, sugar and fat
  • Fruit is picked well before it is ripe, robbing us of valuable nutrients
  • Foods full of sugar are advertised as healthy
  • Excessive portions are the norm

Health through Weight and Lifestyle Management

We'll help you transform yourself

Motivation

Beginnings can be difficult and so can maintaining the momentum as we move though a dietary  and lifestyle change.  PronoKals team of doctors, nutritionists and personal trainers will be on hand to motivate and guide you and explain the science behind the process.

Protection of the muscle

Ideally we want to loose fat not muscle.  Muscle is a healthy tissue that burns more calories than fat even when we are watching tv.  Loss of muscle will make it harder to keep the weight off once you have reached your target.

Muscle preservation requires protein, micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) and exercise.  The nutrient content of the PNK method is carefully controlled to provide protein intake adapted to your individual requirements, plus supplementation that delivers 100% of the daily recommended intake of vitamins and minerals for adults.

The protocol also includes an exercise programme based on evidence from scientific journals designed to protect muscle.

Protection of the muscle

Lipoinflammation

Overweight and obesity provoke a state of inflammation in the body known as lipoinflammation.  This is one of the main factors explaining the link between obesity and certain chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke and cancer.

Pronokal has developed and patented “Protein-DHA”, included in all its food products; Protein-DHA plus PronoKal’s proprietary omega 3 supplementation has been shown in clinical trails to reduce inflammation, decreasing the risk of these disease.
