Conventional weight loss at the heart of many weight loss diets generally relies on calorie restriction, which aims to create a calorie deficit to prompt fat burning. Together with a priority common in internet searches of ‘how to lose weight quickly’, often means that any weight loss can potentially be unsustainable and rebound weight more likely.

Diets can fail due to a variety of reasons: calorie restriction slows metabolism whilst the body believes food resources are scarce; they do not address satiety and feelings of hunger; restriction in general can encourage desire for foods ‘not allowed’; and they do not take into consideration any underlying physiological issues which may create a barrier to weight loss.

Nutritional Therapy for weight loss

Nutritional Therapy approaches weight loss by bringing balance to the metabolic process. Rather than focusing on calorie restriction, the incorporation of whole foods and healthy sources of protein and fat will improve satiation and blood sugar control – helping to address blood sugar dysregulation, a common cause of weight gain – whilst also ensuring nutrient density to meet the needs of the individual.

Alongside this, Nutritional Therapy looks to support any physiological imbalance creating an environment resistant to weight loss – compromised gut health driving inflammation, and altered thyroid function slowing metabolism, for example.
