Frequently Asked Questions
Some of the most frequently asked questions
How long does it take to see results in a weight loss journey?
Healthy weight loss typically means losing 0.5 to 1kg per week. The timeline depends on your starting point, goals, and consistency, but slow and steady progress is key to sustainable results.
Why is it important to control blood sugar levels?
Maintaining stable blood sugar levels is essential for preventing complications, improving energy, and supporting overall health. Proper blood sugar control reduces the risk of conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and inflammation while helping you feel your best every day.
Why don’t quick fixes work for weight loss?
Quick fixes often focus on temporary results, neglecting long-term sustainability. They can lead to nutrient deficiencies, muscle loss, and weight regain. Lasting success comes from building healthy, sustainable habits that support your overall well-being.
How do online consultations work?
Online consultations are convenient and flexible, offering the same personalized guidance and support as in-person sessions, all from the comfort of your home or office. During these sessions, you can track your progress by taking body measurements and weight at home, or schedule periodic visits to the practice for more detailed assessments, including professional body composition analysis.
Can chocolate and alcohol be part of a healthy lifestyle and meal plan?
Yes, in moderation! Dark chocolate and occasional alcoholic drinks can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet. The key is portion control and making mindful choices to ensure they fit within your overall health goals and nutritional needs.
Does a holistic approach mean I need to do a lot of exercise?
Not at all. A holistic approach considers your unique lifestyle, goals, and abilities. Exercise is encouraged in ways that suit you, but it’s just one part of the bigger picture, alongside nutrition, mindset, and overall well-being.
How can I deal with emotional eating?
Managing emotional eating starts with identifying triggers and finding healthier ways to cope, such as journaling, mindfulness practices, or physical activity. Building a balanced meal plan and staying consistent with meals can also help reduce cravings and emotional food reliance. Support and guidance from a dietitian can make a big difference.
