Guidelines for Setting up independent weight loss class

    Hi All,

    I am looking for some advise please,
    I recently lost over 3 1/2 stone through healthy eating with the low gi system myself at home.

    I have attended both Unislim and Weight Watchers classes in the past,
    And was successful with both, So I am aware of their individual methods in weight loss.

    Due to a sad personal loss, I literally comfort ate for 2 years and naturally the weight piled back on, So after readjusting my whole life through diet, exercise and positive thinking, I was able to loose the weight independently and as healthy eating has now become a way of life, I know I have finally conquered the curse of over eating.

    I am very aware of the nutritional needs when dieting and believe that the
    Scientific approach of the low gi system is best for successful long term results.

    What Id like to know really is:

    Do I need some sort of licence, e.g dietican or nutrition qualifications,
    Will I need some sort of public liability insurance, if I am to rent out a room for the class.
    Are there specific guidelines I will have to adhere to?
    Especially in relation to giving info and advise on nutrition.

    I have experienced both Unislim and Weight Watchers, and feel there is so much more I could do to help others achieve a complete life change and keep the weight off.
    I also plan to only charge €5 per person and no entry fee,
    As opposed to the redicilous high rates both competitors charge,

    Please could anyone give me the advise I need as I have applied as a class leader for both of the mentioned companies and have had no acknowledgement or response.

    So I think I am knowledgeable enough to try it myself.

    Thanks so much in advance
