TENS of thousands more obese Brits could get NHS weight loss help online as clinics struggle to cope with demand.
Health watchdog, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, has proposed four app and web weight management services for England.
It said doctors cannot keep up with the number of patients needing to slim down.
People who are obese and have a related health problem, like type 2 diabetes, could be eligible.
The services offer professional medical help without patients getting off the sofa.
