Weight management, healthy eating and body composition alteration
I help you set realistic weight loss/gain goals within a realistic time frame while focusing on sustainable healthy habits. You will receive a meal plan that is personalised to your specific likes and needs. I do not believe in quick fixes and fad diets. It is long-term success you want, not repeated failures. During follow up sessions, body composition and dietary intake will be re-assessed, goals re-formulated and tools will be discussed to broaden your understanding of nutrition and how it impacts your weight. Once you reach your goal, you will be guided on how to maintain your weight in the long term
