Changing peoples lives

Itrim is a Swedish weight loss chain with 26 centers nationwide and new centers added monthly. Itrim's customers lose on average 10.5 kilo (23.1 lbs) during their first year and have a 75 % completion rate, a result only topped by surgery. Scientific abstracts documenting Itrim's world leading results have been accepted and presented at ECO2008 (European Congress on Obesity) and will be presented at TOS2008 (The Obesity Society 2008 Annual Scientific Meeting).

Itrim's founders and management are a team of seasoned professionals with national and international careers from Accenture, Ernst & Young, McDonald's, McKinsey & Co and Price Waterhouse Coopers among others. Itrim is well financed and privately held by founders and board members.

The Itrim program is developed together with researchers from the Karolinska Institute (Awarder of Nobel Prize in Medicine) and combines personalized diet, exercise and motivation in the form of individual support and group discussions. Depending on individual weight loss goals, customers initially opt to substitute meals for Itrim's brand of meal replacement products in order to take advantage of the scientifically proven benefit of an initial quick weight loss. Itrims program is continually evaluated and improved upon together with Itrim's scientific advisory board who brings together leading obesity and cardiology researchers from the Karolinska Institute and Uppsala University Hospital.
