Why “Diets”
Don’t Work
The word “diet” implies
that you engage in a temporary eating regime designed to help you lose weight until a certain target weight is achieved.
Depending on the type of “diet” this will be more or less easy and successful. But if
previous eating patterns are resumed when the “diet” is over, the lost pounds (and often more!) tend to pile back
on more quickly than they were lost. This often leads to yoyo dieting which is unhealthy and frustrating
and can wreak havoc with your metabolism making it more and more difficult to lose weight.
The only way to long term weight
control is a permanent change to a healthier way of eating.
Nutritional Therapy for Healthy Weight Control
This package is not meant to be a three month “diet” but a programme to help you change your
eating habits in a way to support healthy weight reduction. The aim is to identify why
you have difficulties maintaining a healthy weight. Blood sugar imbalances and food intolerances are common
reasons why people find it hard to shed pounds. Other contributing factors may include excessive stress or suboptimal thyroid
function. All these factors can respond well to nutritional and lifestyle intervention.
But we will not only focus on your weight. Nutritional therapy is a holistic approach and by addressing
imbalances which have lead to overweight other health concerns often improve, too. You should
experience an increase in your energy levels and generally a greater feeling of vitality and wellbeing.
If you have any other health
concerns which may be related to your diet we will consider those as part of the programme. These could
include digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, poor skin, headaches, poor immunity and mood swings
to name but a few conditions which can respond well to nutritional therapy.
