WEIGHT LOSS
‘Just eat less, and exercise more’
‘Ok, that makes sense, so why doesn’t it work for me?’
‘But I eat the right food, exercise, and just can’t shift the weight’
Sound familiar?
The most recent statistics (2021), state that 63% of the UK population is overweight. Of that figure, 28% are classified as obese. The figures for child obesity are rising rapidly. What is going on?? These conditions leads to:
- Heart attacks
- Diabetes
- Strokes
- Feelings of poor self-worth
Away from the headlines, let’s look at the facts.
Firstly, everyone is individual and unique, so different foods, portions and exercise regimes will have different outcomes. For instance, a Personal Trainer would not give the same training programme to a diverse class (different ages, genders, body types, medical histories) and expect the same result. It might hone some, make some give up, and injure others.
Secondly, we have different metabolisms, body types, genetics, and physical predispositions / abilities
Thirdly, there is a mental / mindset aspect to weight loss / control which is specific to each individual.
Fourthly, food today does not contain the same level of nutrients it did in the past due to the way it is produced. As a consequence, we try to obtain the same level of nutrients by increasing our portions.
Our aim is to support and enable you to become the best version of yourself and understand why comparison with others or trying to live up to an impossible ‘ideal’ may not be helpful, or indeed damaging. There is little point in losing an unsustainable amount of weight, only for life to be miserable.
We encourage a balanced approach to weight control which enables you to perform at your best in the knowledge that you achieve realistic goals while maintaining your physical and mental health.
There are 3 important factors involved in weight control:
- Gut / Microbiome Health
- Food Allergies and Intolerances
- Stress
The gut is your ‘second brain’, and can affect your mood as much as the one in your head. If you are not putting the right nutrients in your body, this will affect every aspect of your wellbeing including your sleep and stress levels – both of which impact your ability to control your weight.
Our Total Body Health approach looks at all aspects of your current health and identifies the root cause of any weight issues and works with you to set realistic and achievable targets to optimise your health.
