Nutrition

What is nutrition about?

A little of everything and not too much of anything is a simple piece of advice we have all heard in regard to our food intake in order to stay healthy and manage a healthy weight. Why are 60% of Australians overweight or obese, and why do so many people suffer killer diseases such as diabetes and hypertension because of a poor diet?

If eating healthy was as simple as it sounds, then we would all be much healthier and happier and would suffer far less disease. Unfortunately, factors such as lifestyle, culture, time management, poor advice and some digestive diseases can make it very difficult to maintain a healthy diet.

Personal issues such as motivation and self-confidence can alter our eating habits and lead us towards other diseases.

Eating correctly for your body’s needs and your lifestyle can change more than just your appearance. You can experience increased energy, decreased lifestyle diseases, better sleep and simply feel great.

I’ve been on lots of diets. Why is a Dietitian different?

Diets often advocate for restricting certain foods groups, taking expensive supplements or avoiding eating at certain times or social events. With all these different opinions out there it’s difficult to know which foods to eat to best suit your body and health. A qualified dietitian will use research evidence to help you find the best, safest and most effective option for you.”

YOUR CONSULT

Your initial consultation can take up to an hour during which a Dietitian will find out about your specific food and nutrition concerns or interests, taking into account your medical history and gathering information about your lifestyle.

A comprehensive diet history will help determine your likes and dislikes and identify your usual eating patterns. After discussing what you would like to achieve and setting goals, information will be tailored to fit in with your lifestyle and nutritional requirements.

Support and a positive environment are vital in ensuring you achieve and maintain your goals. Nutritional plans are based on the correct balance of normal foods, not just fancy or expensive supplements.
