A Lifestyle Approach to Type 2 Diabetes Management

What it achieves

  • Improved metabolic health

  • Sustainable weight loss

  • Preserved muscle and bone during weight loss

How it’s delivered

  • Clinician-led, personalised support

  • Structured, progressive phases

  • App-based plans, tracking, and recipes

Why it’s different

  • Evidence-based, not trend-driven

  • Improves body composition, not scale weight

  • Built to achieve independence

The Science Behind Momentum

Greater weight loss is strongly associated with higher rates of type 2 diabetes remission — defined as normal blood glucose levels without medication. In large randomised controlled trials [1 , 2], participants who lost more weight were substantially more likely to achieve remission. However, weight loss alone is not enough.

Without protecting muscle and bone, individuals may lose strength and increase their risk of frailty, falls, and fractures. Combining resistance training with targeted nutrition helps preserve muscle and function during weight loss, improving long-term sustainability [3].

Momentum is built on these principles — pairing structured fat loss with strength training and practical nutrition support to improve body composition, protect strength, and build lasting habits.

How it works

A structured 6-month framework designed to build results that last

Foundation
Weeks 1-2
Establish baseline, confirm safety, and receive your personalised plan via smartphone app
Fat Loss & Strength Gain
Months 1-3
Progress structured fat loss while preserving muscle through tailored strength training and nutrition support
Transition
Months 3-4
Stabilise weight and build flexibility for social eating, travel, and busy schedules
Consolidation
Months 4-6
Build independent meal and exercise planning skills, reinforced through structured accountability and review
Maintenance
Month 6
Exit with a personalised blueprint for independent continuation, so you stay confident and in control

All plans are delivered through a smartphone app, with clinician oversight and structured progression. The goal is not short-term change; it is sustainable independence.
