A Clinical Nutritionists Perspective

Losing weight, and eating healthier, should not require massive power, always being hungry, and restricting foods. Counting points, eating pre-packaged foods, or taking appetite suppressants are temporary fixes and are not the answer.

The Non-Dieting approach to nutrition counseling focuses on which foods digest and absorb slowly, do not raise blood sugar abruptly and which foods reduce appetite and cravings. It truly is as simple as the time to learn a little of the science behind clinical nutrition that commercial weight loss programs, most diet products, and books just cant accomplish.

Before going to a party one could ask, am I really hungry and do I desire a large volume of food, or do I just require a variety of different flavors and textures from foods. In America we are brainwashed to require, huge volumes of food with the richness (mostly fat and sugar which is inexpensive to farm, manufacture, or serve). One has to pick your battle. If you require richness, then eat something 11/2 hours before you attend the party.

A nutritionist will take the time to measure metabolic rate, customize a program based on your muscle mass, age sex and goals whether you’re following a macrobiotic diet or always eating out! Its like a sliding scale carbohydrate program based on your metabolism, your medical needs and your lifestyle. It truly is a Lifestyle Not A Diet.

The goal is to be able to implement a customized program for your personal and medical needs and be able to eat satisfying and healthy foods in restaurants, at home and on the run and not feel deprived.

From a nutrition and disease, standpoint, it is paramount to have the correct balance between carbohydrates, fats and, proteins. This balance is important as it relates to food cravings and food satisfaction (satiety) and blood sugar management. The total amount of calories you eat are important, however, more importantly, if you balance the correct percentages and amount of the macronutrients along with muscle mass and activity level then food cravings go away.
