I will develop a tailor-made diet specifically for you. The diet will consider your preferences, food intolerances, specific requirements, food allergies and even your budget, all while meeting your nutritional requirements for energy, protein and micronutrients. Diets that take these things into consideration are much more likely to be effective than generic ones.
2. Weight loss, gain or maintenance
Dietitians are trained to advise you on the best eating plan in the case that you want to lose, or gain, or maintain your weight. I can offer you a variety of options to help you achieve your weight goals without putting your health at risk. I will also go on the journey with you, offering lots of support through follow-up consultations, to track progress over time. By assessing your body fat percentage and using body mass index as an additional tool, I will help you to identify an optimal body weight.
3. Managing chronic diseases
Some of the major lifestyle-related chronic diseases such as high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and heart conditions require you to change your diet and lifestyle habits in order to manage the condition or avoid exacerbating it. I can help you with dietary advice and a meal plan to specifically address these issues. Better yet, if you are found to be a high risk candidate for any of these diseases, pay me a visit and I can help you to reduce that risk and prevent getting that disease.
4. Diet transition
If, for whatever reasons, you find yourself transitioning to a different diet (e.g. vegetarian, pescatarian, vegan or a gluten free diet), it is highly recommended that you pay me a visit. I will help you identify foods to avoid and foods to add to your diet to help you transition to that new diet without losing the essential nutrients that you need to maintain a healthy body. The same applies for people who develop food-related allergies or conditions such as anaemia, or digestive disorders.
5. Specialised nutritional plan for sports and fitness
Ever wonder how rugby players get so strong, short distance runners so shredded and long distance runners so lean? Besides their rigorous training, these athletes are also on strict diets. Their teams have dedicated dietitians to develop tailor-made meal plans to help them achieve their goals. I can do the same thing for you by creating a meal plan based on the type of sport that you enjoy.
