How Much Does Private Weight Loss Support Cost?

The cost of private weight loss support in the UK varies depending on the service. For many people, the main concern is whether the cost provides real value compared to going it alone.

According to the NHS, structured programmes deliver better outcomes than self-managed dieting. That means cost needs to be seen in the context of results.

Private weight loss services usually include an initial consultation, access to prescribing services if appropriate, and ongoing support. Monthly costs can range depending on the provider. What matters is comparing those costs to what you may already spend.

The average adult in the UK spends £470 per month on food, drink, and eating out (ONS). With pharmacist-led weight loss, healthier habits often reduce that spend by £120–£150 each month.

That means the cost of professional support is often balanced by what you save on food and drink. For many, the difference is smaller than expected.

foundry provides pharmacist-led services through our Forge membership, which is designed to help patients save on prescribing services while benefiting from professional support.
