Weight Managment

Maintaining a healthy body weight is a balance between energy in (food intake) and energy out (physical activity), however in practice it’s not that simple!

A dietitian is trained to look at the full picture of what prevents an individual from maintaining a healthy body weight, including medical history, dietary intake, physical activity, and psychological factors such as mood, stress, and food-related behaviour.

Over subsequent dietary consults, the areas that influence an individual’s weight control will be addressed e.g. meal planning, portion control, emotional eating, eating out, label reading, recipe modification, physical activity, nutrient adequacy, stress and other psychological issues.
