Protocol for new mothers.
Protocol duration: 12 weeksTaking a shower has become an expedition, and a coffee in silence the win of the day. You eat standing up, sleep in three-hour stretches, and the kilos won't budge no matter how hard you try. While nutritionists and trainers repeat that we all have the same 24 hours and that good organisation makes time for meals and workouts, only one thought runs through your head: "These people clearly don't have kids."
Don't worry, we do, and that's exactly why we know classic weight-loss regimes fall apart for mothers. We also know how confusing it is when one moment you tell yourself your looks aren't a priority right now, and the next you cry because you have to get out of your tracksuit and pyjamas and realise everything else is too small. When you don't recognise the person in the mirror, and you choose clothes not for your style but for what hides the extra weight best. And when you're stuck between the old and the new version of yourself and don't know how to reconcile them.
That's why we put together a simple, sustainable and effective protocol that brings your body, hormones, skin, hair and energy back into balance.
We didn't like the system.
So we built our own.
Working in hospitals, we witnessed every shortcoming of the healthcare system. Appointments are so short that it's hard to give an individual full attention. At first everything is "clear" to patients, and then back home they remember all kinds of follow-up questions and look for answers online. When the check-up comes, the patient can't remember when, how and under what conditions a symptom appeared, so medical professionals are often left to guess.
So we replaced guesses with data. Instead of one appointment a month, the expert team is available for all 12 weeks of the protocol. Appetite, bloating, changes and symptoms are logged daily and linked to your meals, sleep, cycle, diagnosis and deviations, building a map of your body that makes the protocol more effective day by day.
Internal statistics: thanks to treating the cause, protocol patients achieve results up to 30% faster than those on classic weight-loss programs.
Meet the team for the 2026/2027 season
No templates. No ready-made diets.
Fast, practical, tailored to you.
Picture a blank sheet. That's what your program looks like on the day it's made. Then the team sits down and, based on your history, lab results and goals, food by food, meal by meal, method by method, puts together a protocol that leaves nothing to chance.
A food is too expensive? You mark it and we don't use it. Don't like cauliflower? It's not on your menu. Don't want exotic ingredients? We skip them. Working demanding shifts? We fit meals around your working hours. Our focus is sustainability in real life, not theoretical perfection.
Internal statistics: thanks to this method, 94 out of 100 Atika clients resist breaking the regime and reach their monthly goal.
You log symptoms and meals in the app. The team sees every entry.
A check-in measurement. If something isn't going to plan, we change it.
Seven new menus, so you don't plateau.
Why does the yo-yo effect happen?
And how we prevent it.
For ten years we recorded why people go back to old habits and analysed concrete life situations in which it's hard to stay consistent. Over the years our psychology team singled out the methods with the highest success rate in practice and dropped those without it.
That's how our library of habit-change tasks came about, based on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), working on emotional eating, recognizing triggers, consistency and a healthy relationship with food. They run through the whole app, so working on yourself isn't one more burden but an adventure in which you collect points, level up and win rewards for progress.
Internal statistics: patients who regularly do the psychological challenges return to old habits three times less often than those who only follow the diet and training.
An app that remembers for you.
- logs the intensity and type of hunger during the day
- separates emotional from physical hunger
- detects changes in digestion and cycle
- challenges for better discipline
- analyses how each meal affects you
- remembers progress week after week
Why 12 weeks?
Phase 1, weeks 1 to 4. We set up meals that are quick to make and easy to eat between feeds, with enough protein, iron and fluids. If you are breastfeeding, intake is adjusted to lactation and there is no deficit. After a caesarean section we pay extra attention to recovery and symptoms such as constipation and bloating.
Phase 2, weeks 5 to 8. Once eating is steady, we work on body composition at a pace your body can handle. If you are breastfeeding, weight loss is slower, and that's intentional, because a sudden deficit reduces lactation. Activity is introduced only once your doctor approves it.
Phase 3, weeks 9 to 12. The focus is on sustainability: meals cooked ahead, energy that has to last all day and habits that stay once the protocol ends. You do the follow-up tests your doctor orders, because iron and vitamin D deficiency are common after giving birth.
When you can start and when you can train, we assess at the consultation.

If Atika is known for anything, it's directness and honesty. That's why as many as 30% of introductory consultations end with us declining to work together. If your goal isn't in our domain, we refer you to someone else. If what you want isn't achievable from a medical standpoint, we explain what is. Our way of working doesn't fit what you want? We tell you openly. Neither of us wants to part ways unhappy.
So we ask you to have a free consultation before you buy, to find out whether we're a good match.
* The number of patients we take on each month is limited, so everyone gets the council's full attention. Book your slot in time.
Yes. Each month addresses a different part of the problem, so none can be skipped, and stable changes in lab results and in the body take at least 12 weeks of continuity. Cutting the protocol short on your own leads to the yo-yo effect, and often to worse symptoms.
There's no need to choose, because the team doesn't work by the program's name but by your lab results and medical history. This means every parameter, diagnosis, medical history, therapy and even hereditary predisposition to certain diseases (e.g. a family history of diabetes) is taken into account before the protocol is made.
Quite the opposite! When you work on weight loss and on correcting the condition that slows down and complicates it at the same time, our patients' experience is that results are faster, better and longer-lasting than on programs that deal only with a calorie deficit.
Lab results are mandatory, because without them working together is like wandering in the dark: we don't know what's wrong, how serious the situation is, or which direction to take. We don't ask for anything complicated: you do a complete blood count, and depending on your condition the doctor asks for a few more parameters.
No. Nutrition therapy, anti-stress techniques, gut microbiome health and physical activity optimize the whole body, making it stronger and more functional, acting strategically on imbalances, inflammation and hormones. Still, we are strongly against charlatan promises and claims that something cures every disease and changes medicine.
No. Atika protocols are for people who already have a diagnosis, lab results and therapy from their doctor, and who don't want to get lost in a sea of information online, but to save time, money and energy by having someone experienced choose the best direction for them. We don't make diagnoses and we don't alter therapies.
Access lasts as many weeks as you paid for, after which the platform locks automatically, and you can keep using it by paying a new membership. There are several ways to extend: paying for a new protocol, cheaper plans without a diet (if you already have meal plans) or using the app without the expert team.
