what type of weight loss diet is the best

To say that weight gain is purely due to an imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure is a huge oversimplification of weight loss. As we know everyone is different and responds differently to foods and eating styles. There is no ‘one diet fits all’ or a ‘quick fix’ for weight loss. The key questions I investigate to help determine diet adjustments for my clients include :

  • Do you have sugar cravings/insulin resistance / metabolic syndrome?
  • Do you suffer from depression or have emotional issues around eating?
  • Do you comfort or binge eat?
  • Are you adrenally exhausted and fatigued or not sleeping well?
  • Is your body in a state of inflammation (eg rheumatism, IBD, SLE)?
  • Are you injured and unable to exercise?
  • Are you over-training?
  • Is your job sedentary?
  • Is your extra weight mainly stored around your abdomen?
  • Are you in menopause or suffering hormonal imbalances such as PCOS?
  • Do you have an under-functioning thyroid?
  • Do you have digestive or gut issues?
  • Do you have a fatty liver or problems digesting fats?

Then, along with a detailed case history of my clients and an understanding of their motivation and lifestyle, I work with them to make the changes to support them to achieve their weight loss goals. The changes vary per client but can include :

  • Promoting and explaining an anti-inflammatory diet.
  • Decreasing simple carbohydrates and switching to complete carbohydrates. • Adjusting protein requirements to their needs.
  • Work on portion control.
  • Increase water intake.
  • Promote bowel function and gut health.

So with summer around the corner, why not book in for a consult to ensure your diet is working for your weight loss goals.
