Top dietary tips for weight loss

My top tips for weight loss are based on my own personal experience, over a decade of reading nutrition books and listening to podcasts, as well as my work with clients over the last few years. They are grounded in understanding our biology - a much better approach than the flawed eat less/move more advice that is routinely trotted out to people.

What could you change in your way of eating?

Weight gain does not happen overnight, it usually takes years and decades, so it will take time to turn around. Making small changes today, based on my top tips, could build into substantial improvements over the coming year and make a real difference to your health!

These tips are not only for weight loss but also useful if you have prediabetes/diabetes or other chronic health conditions. Or perhaps your family history is a concern and you would like to give yourself the best chance of staving off health conditions in the future?

Weight Loss Wheel

Working with people over the years as led me to develop a checklist of the things that drive weight gain and weight loss, including elements beyond diet, based on a scientific understanding of how the body actually works. These are encapsulated in my ‘Drivers of Weight Loss Wheel’ which sets out the key factors that can contribute towards weight gain.

I use this with my clients to help explore what might be driving their weight gain and identify potential beneficial changes they could make. We then work together to develop strategies focused on improving particular areas and building new habits.

Weight loss is a complex, multi-faceted, issue. Breaking the challenge down into smaller component parts is a useful way to diagnose where potential problems might lie and begin to figure out how to change, to address the underlying causes of weight gain.

What changes will you make?

Adopting one or two of my top tips will likely help you feel better and support sustained weight loss but making diet and lifestyle changes that stick can be hard. We often try things then drift back to our old ways.

From everything I have read and learnt about habit change it is important to make new behaviours easy to do and something positive we acknowledge and celebrate in our busy, often stressful, lives. We need to feel a sense of satisfaction or reward if we are going to persist once our initial flush of enthusiasm has worn off.

This quote from a recent client really sums up the importance of getting started with something small and making sure the dietary changes you make are rewarding.
