Meet the team of supporting professionals behind the SureSlim weight-loss programme.

Dr Johan du Plessis, M.B.; Ch.B - United Kingdom

Dr Johan du Plessis is the consulting physician for SureSlim in the United Kingdom. He received his medical training at the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa. He has practiced at Tygerberg Provincial Hospital in South Africa, and is currently working in Farnborough Hospital A & E department in the UK. He is also medical director of Casualty Plus, a company offering private 24-hour accident and emergency departments within the UK.

Excerpts from a news interview with Dr du Plessis:
"The UK is renowned for freedom of choice and personal freedom and when that is the cornerstone, people choose the easiest, cheapest food that is designed to taste good."

    "But the foundations of good health are laid in childhood and if you start having problems at an early age you are heading for trouble. We already have a health system that is creaking at the seams. Add in all of this and we are going to have real problems."
    "One man was so overweight that his GP had to put him on insulin to help his body cope with the sugar. Using SureSlim, he did very well and lost a lot of weight, to such an extent he was able to come off insulin.
    "We really are our own worst enemies and we have got to change the public perception of what healthy eating is."

Julie Anfield ND, Nutritionist - Australia

Julie Anfield practiced naturopathy privately for 18 years and worked closely with some of the world's most eminent naturopathy practitioners. Her work in naturopathy, the scientific treatment of disease through diet and exercise instead of drugs, gave her a profound understanding of the connections between food, weight, and health. In 2002, she joined the SureSlim team as lead naturopath and nutritionist. Julie is passionate about sharing her wealth of nutritional knowledge and practical experience with SureSlim clients.

"I knew that only a metabolic approach to the obesity epidemic sweeping the western world could be successful and sustainable. The SureSlim programme felt like a huge piece of the nutritional jig-saw puzzle falling into place. It has been my pleasure to witness the health and weight-loss success of thousands of SureSlim clients who have corrected their metabolic imbalances using natural food."

Dr Robert Vial, M.B.B.S., B. Med. Sc - Australia

Dr Robert Vial is the consulting physician for SureSlim Australia. He received medical training at the University of New South Wales and has been a general practitioner for 13 years.

"From my 13 years of experience in the medical profession, weight-loss medication has limited benefits. Medication does not teach us about the food we consume. Weight fluctuates like a see-saw and there appears no way out of this vicious cycle. Managing your weight through correct nutrition, however, will last you for a lifetime!
    "What is really needed is education about the foods we eat and what is appropriate for our individual needs! SureSlim has accomplished both. By having your blood analysed, we know what your body's metabolism is at the time you commence your SureSlim programme, and by following our directions, we know you will have success.
    "Why do we say that SureSlim is a lifestyle and wellness programme?
    "Simply stated, we know that our programme will benefit your health. Our recommendations are compiled after carefully considering scientific and medical research.
    "By following the recommendations, most people not only lose weight, but also have reduced cholesterol, lower blood pressure, improved blood sugar control and higher energy levels. Importantly, if you have Syndrome X (Metabolic Syndrome), your weight management programme should benefit you greatly."
