Is it Possible to Lose Weight Permanently?
The Award-Winning, No Exercise, No Diet Solution.
There is a lot of debate surrounding the concept of permanent weight loss, with some people claiming that it is an almost impossible goal. We have helped hundreds of people to achieve their dream weight, and maintain it. We always say that helping someone to lose weight is relatively easy. However, ensuring that the weight loss is permanent, well…that is the silver bullet. And that is what we strive to deliver, every single day.
Martin and Marion Shirran: About us…
So is it Possible to Lose Weight Permanently? We are Martin and Marion Shirran, and in 2004, we opened our Elite Clinic in Southern Spain. Initially, we treated a range of conditions, including general addictions, cocaine, alcohol, nicotine etc. Our successful treatment protocol for Bulimia resulted in the clinic receiving considerable media exposure.

During 2007, we started to develop our psychology-based, weight-loss treatment, the ‘Gastric Mind Band’. At the time, we were aware of a need to offer non-surgical, risk-free weight-loss alternatives to help people lose weight safely and permanently. I (Martin) was one of the initial trial candidates for the treatment. That’s me in the photo below. I subsequently went on to lose 85 pounds. We also have a dedicated page where you can read more about us.
Risk-Free Weight Loss
Is it Possible to Lose Weight Permanently?
Marion and I personally financed the research, development and real person trials of the new weight-loss treatment. Our programme was then trademarked in both the EU and North America. The unique treatment incorporated a range of proven therapies, along with our own, upgraded version of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. Then each therapy was unpinned by another, resulting in an elevated success rate. Sarah Hart, below, was one of our first clients, and she went on to lose over 140 pounds.
Our science-based treatment also incorporated the Time Perspective Theories, as developed by Professor Philip Zimbardo, at Stanford University, in San Francisco. Additionally, we incorporated the very latest research findings linked to Neuroplasticity. This area of science has progressed considerably with the advances in brain-imaging technology.
A Unique Approach
Our pioneering treatment includes our unique underpinning technique, along with our own Forensic Weight-Loss Questionnaire. Surprisingly, the success rate of the treatment proved to be similar to that of weight-loss surgery. However, it was a fraction of the cost of the surgical alternative. And also, because there was no need for a general anaesthetic, the weight loss achieved was completely risk-free. As a result, national newspapers, magazines, and lifestyle TV shows around the world quickly started to take an interest in our treatment. You may also like to read our blog post “Best Diet Secrets”
Online Non-Surgical Weight Loss
We travelled to New York to be interviewed on the Good Morning America TV show. We also appeared on the This Morning TV show, with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield. During the show we talked about our non-surgical, risk-free, weight-loss treatment. Many of our clients have also appeared on TV shows around the world. Additionally, numerous newspapers and magazines have featured our success stories.
We have trained therapists in our non-surgical, weight-loss treatment
Following the widespread media interest in our treatment, we started training and licensing other therapists. As a result, the treatment has become available at a small number of specialist clinics around the world. For more information, you can also visit the Media page on the site. Vogue, Marie Claire and Hello are just a few of the global magazines to have featured our work.
A Non-Surgical Weight-Loss Treatment that Works….
In 2009, we began to research and develop PBT, which was an upgrade to traditional CBT, and the foundation of TactileCBT®. PBT is a vital part of our weight-loss treatment. It also ensures the treatment remains totally unique. Reija, below, lost 65 pounds following her treatment. She also appeared in the UK national press.
Dr. Theano Kalavanah wrote a research evidence paper. This demonstrated the effectiveness of Pause Button Therapy in the field of Permanent Weight Loss. We then presented the paper at the 1st International Psychology Conference on Time Perspectives. This was held at Coimbra University in Portugal. It is Possible to Lose Weight Permanently.
Global Publishing Contract
During 2012, we signed a publishing contract with Hay House, the leading Mind Body publishers in New York. Our first two books, ‘The Gastric Mind Band’ and ‘Pause Button Therapy’, were published globally in early 2013. Professor Windy Dryden, of Goldsmiths University, London, endorsed the book and the PBT treatment in general.
Non-Surgical Weight Loss
We presented our work, along with Dr. Sarah Clarke at the 2nd International Psychology Conference at Warsaw University in Poland. The event organiser, Professor Philip Zimbardo, of Stanford University, San Fransisco, wrote the foreword of our book. Additionally, we have worked with Dr. Sarah Clarke on training modules for Tactile Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. Ruby, photo below, has lost 56 pounds. You may like to read Ruby’s success story.

More recently, we have divided our time between treating private clients, and ongoing research and development. We’re keen to uphold our reputation by providing the most up-to-date approaches to permanent weight loss.
