Weight breakthrough for AFL great

This varies person-to-person – some Pilot members have responded quickly, dropping several kilos in the first few weeks.

Clinical research from studies of these medications helps paint a picture of what you can expect:

‍1/4 of patients lose more than 10% of their body weight after 5 months:
In a 2017 study, at 20 weeks, 76.1% of participants has lost more than 5% of body weight, and 28.3% had lost more than 10%. [2]

After a year, the average patient lost 12.1%
In a 2020 study from the International Journal of Obesity, patients lost 12.1% of their body weight in 52 weeks using this class of medications, combined with behavioural changes (nearly twice as much versus behavioural changes alone). [3]

Due to Australian therapeutic goods regulations, we are unable to list this class of treatments by name.

You will have to proceed to the health practitioners consult stage on Pilot (and be approved by a health practitioner) to learn deeper specifics.

What we can say, though, is that these medications were approved in 2017 in Australia for weight management. They’re considered safe and are particularly effective for regulating your metabolism and hunger hormones.

The medication is injected via a pen (tiny needle — like a pin-prick) in the upper thigh or abdomen.

It is not painful, and patients pick up this habit very quickly.

The medications available in the program will be named and fully explained after your health practitioner's consult (due to advertising regulations). They are considered safe, have been widely used since 2017 and are generally very well tolerated, with minimal side effects (the main one being nausea for some patients).

For anyone with a personal or family history that might put them at a slightly higher risk for extremely rare side effects, your health practitioner will always err on the side of caution and recommend other options in those situations.

The cost of this program (including the medication, health practitioner support, and ongoing behavioural coaching) is $285 per month, which is around $10.00 a day.

Most of our members end up spending less on food each day as their appetites are reduced — so the program can actually be very affordable, as it's comparable to a sandwich and a drink at a cafe.

Pilot pairs the most up-to-date medical science from health practitioners, with targeted lifestyle changes.

For many men, weight loss is very difficult because your body is fighting against you. It interprets weight loss as a life-threatening problem and responds by slowing your metabolism and increasing your hunger.

Our program introduces clinically-proven hunger regulating medications, and combines them with a health coach so you can learn about your body while also losing a substantial portion of your body weight.

No. We don't force you to follow an eating plan, but your health coach will be helping you make healthier food and lifestyle choices through targeted behavioural changes.

That's fine, you don't have to be best mates with them. Your health coach will still want to check in on your progress - get your weight, waist measurement, and motivation levels. If you aren't comfortable sharing this with the group, then this can be shared directly with your health coach - no problems.

No, definitely not. Although Pilot is a male-oriented platform, the treatment is effective for men and women. Women are welcome to take the quiz and start the Metabolic Reset Program with Pilot.

The most common side effects observed by those on Pilot’s weight loss program are nausea, diarrhoea, and constipation. In many cases these side effects diminish over time when patients grow more accustomed with the treatment.

You will receive needles in the box with the medication. There will be enough needles in each pack for the number of doses in your medication.

If you ever require needles early, we are able to send you out some via AusPost, please just get in touch.
