Finding a Weight Loss Journey That Lasts

You may have tried diet after diet, only to see the weight creep back on again—leaving you disheartened, frustrated, and unsure if long-term success is even possible. You are not alone. Support is just a phone call away. At PronoKal, we understand that true well-being isn’t just about numbers on a scale—it’s about feeling confident, energetic, and proud of what you have achieved. It is also about having faith in the future.

That’s why our long-term weight loss programme is designed to support real people, with real lives, facing the challenges of the food environment in which we live. In addition to its excellent weight loss effects, the PnK programme includes a 2-year follow-up to help you keep the weight off, so important to self-confidence as well as to the prevention and treatment of long-term health conditions—protecting against future risks while improving possible existing health concerns. Above all, it’s a flexible, personalised approach that meets you where you are today, and helps you move forward with conviction.

With expert medical support, nutritional guidance, and long-term lifestyle strategies, PronoKal makes sustainable change possible. Here, lasting success begins with empathy, evolves through evidence, and endures through empowerment.

Type 2 Diabetes

Our gut converts carbohydrates into sugars, mainly glucose. The amount of glucose in the blood is controlled by a hormone called insulin, released by the pancrease. Insulin helps glucose enter the cells. When are cells have enough glucose, any excess is stored in our liver and muscles. And once they are full, any left-over glucose is turned into fat.

If you have type 2 diabetes, your body doesn’t respond correctly to insulin regulation (insulin resistance), and the levels of glucose in your blood will rise. This can cause a range of serious complications, including kidney disease, peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage), diabetic retinopathy (an eye condition that can lead to blindness), and an increased risk of heart attacks or strokes.

Insulin resistance can be managed effectively in many patients by making lifestyle and dietary changes. If you follow a very low calorie keto diet such as PronoKal’s PnK plan, your cells can become sensitive to the action of insulin again, and your body regains the ability to handle sugar efficiently and effectively. This will reduce the risk of developing diabetes or, if you have already developed the condition, the PnK programme could help you manage it better or even get you into diabetes remission.

Dyslipidaemia and Cardiovascular Conditions

Our blood naturally contains two types of fat (or "lipids"). The first is cholesterol, which comes in two main forms:

1. LDL-cholesterol (or "bad cholesterol") - Too much of this indicates an increased risk of developing atherosclerosis. This is a condition in which plaque builds up within your arteries, restricting blood flow. Atherosclerosis can be a contributory factor in conditions such as angina, coronary heart disease, and peripheral arterial disease.

2. HDL-cholesterol (or "good cholesterol") - If you have healthy levels of this in your blood, it will help to reduce the damage that can be caused by "bad cholesterol" by taking the cholesterol back to your liver to be broken down. This will reduce the risk that you will develop atherosclerosis and associated cardiovascular conditions.

The second type of blood fat is triglycerides. Our bodies convert excess calories from food into triglycerides and store them away to use later as energy. However, if our triglyceride levels are too high, they can cause the same type of issues as high LDL-cholesterol.

Switching to a ketogenic diet can reduce the levels of "bad cholesterol" and triglycerides in your system, and can also boost the amount of "good cholesterol" in your blood. This will help to reduce your risk of developing life-threatening cardiovascular conditions.

Liver Disease

If your body becomes insulin-resistant due to your weight, your liver may become fatty. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is dangerous because it leads to liver fibrosis and cirrhosis (scarring). It has also been linked to liver cancer, kidney cancer, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes.

The best way to restore your sensitivity to insulin is to reduce the amount of carbohydrates and sugars in your diet. A keto diet could therefore be an excellent option.

Obesity-Related Inflammation – The Cause of Many Obesity-Related Diseases

Scientific studies have shown that obesity induces low-grade inflammation. Not only does this make it harder to achieve and maintain weight loss, but inflammation is recognised as the link between obesity and many chronic diseases. 

The keto diet helps to reduce inflammation through weight loss and the formation of beta-hydroxybutyrate, one of the ketone bodies produced when we burn fat. The PronoKal diet, in addition, has specific ingredients with anti-inflammatory properties.
