We have worked with Leeds Beckett University for over 20 years, researching with the University’s Centre for Applied Obesity Research and approximately 35 academics, from world-leading professors to the best PhD students in the field, to ensure that we deliver the best programmes science and research has to offer.
Not only do we use the research to inform and develop our programmes, but our programmes are used in research studies.
Below are some research links and publications that we think are valuable to anyone with an interest in obesity.
