Dr Saira Hameed

Dr Saira Hameed is a consultant endocrinologist with a subspecialisation in obesity medicine. She designed and runs the UK's most successful weight-loss programme, I-SatPro at Imperial College London, which has been peer-reviewed and whose results compare with gastric band surgery. In her daily practice she is referred patients who have been through numerous diets, and often need to lose weight for medical reasons: people with failing hearts who weighed too much to have a heart transplant, or women whose weight was too high for IVF. She is the author of The Full Diet, published by Michael Joseph in 2022; it was a Sunday Times Top 10 Bestseller.
