The dietitians will ask questions to learn about your current health challenges. Most importantly, the dietitians will talk through your goals and strategies to achieve these.
The dietitians will develop a personalised plan that is tailored to your individual situation. The plan will take into account nutrition preferences, lifestyle, financial status, available support and the physical environment.
Not at all. There is no reason to force down kale smoothies or anything else you dislike. As dietitians, we want you to enjoy nourishing, healthy food whilst also losing weight.
No. As Accredited Practising Dietitians we support long-term dietary changes. Following a restrictive fad diet does not endorse a healthy relationship with food, or align with sustainable weight loss maintenance.
We understand you may be unsure. After all, you’ve tried plenty of diets before, and you don’t want another failure. We cannot guarantee an outcome because the responsibility lies with you. However, following the program will improve your health outcomes significantly. The key is to be patient, show up to appointments, work on your mindset and trust the process.
You can do the metabolic rate test in your second consultation, which determines the speed of your metabolism. Knowing this information can assist with meal plan tailoring and more personalised dietary advice. The test comes with a fee of $120. A dietitian can also provide further education on specific nutritional topics, or make adjustments to your current diet regime.
Not everyone needs a metabolic rate test, so it’s an optional extra. Seeing a dietitian for the first time can be overwhelming, so we deliberately keep our initial appointments simple and streamlined.
