Nutritional Support

The body needs energy in order to function. Energy is supplied from food in the form of calories. Put simply - If you consume more calories than you expend, the excess calories will be stored (mostly as body fat). The goal of most diets is to expend more calories than are consumed and lose weight.

Every body is different. The rate at which we lose weight can differ dramatically as can the physical and mental effects of weight loss. Attention to how our bodies react to weight loss is importamt to ensure we are as healthy as possible.

If you have achieved you weight goal congratulations! Your next step following weight loss surgery or rapid weight loss, is to make sure you take the necessary measures to stay there. Stable, sustainable weight loss is the key and for many people only proper, professional nutritional support can help you get there.

Rapid weight loss and weight loss following surgery needs professional management. Nutritional and dietetic professional will ask you relevant questions and investigate appropriately if needed.  Ask yourself  - Are you well nourished? Are you tired or breathless? Do you have brittle nails? Are you in pain or feeling unwell? What nutritional supplements are you taking? What routine blood tests are you having?

Perhaps you are seeking to change. Maybe you are not ‘fat enough’ for weight loss surgery or are desperate to lose weight but not vast amounts?
