Weight Loss Support Without Injections

Weight is rarely just about what's on your plate. Lots of us eat for reasons other than hunger: stress, tiredness, boredom, low mood, habit, or because the food is simply there. Looking at why you eat is as important as looking at what you eat.

Hunger and cravings also aren't the same thing, although they can feel identical at 9pm. When meals are too small, too far apart or unbalanced, hunger builds, blood sugar can swing, and cravings get louder. Many people find that eating regular, satisfying meals makes it easier to feel in control. And when diets are strict, an "I've blown it" mindset can take over, which is how a slip becomes a week.

Conflicting advice makes it worse. Part of my job is to cut through it, so you know what actually matters for you.

I'm a registered dietitian with an MSc in Clinical and Public Health Nutrition (Eating Disorders) from UCL, working from North London. I'll never put you on a crash diet, ask you to deprive your body of the nutrients it needs, or make you feel judged. We start by looking at your history, your routine, your health and what's got in the way before. Then we build a plan around your life. Depending on what you need, that might include:

• Understanding when, what and how much to eat of each nutrient, so you feel properly fuelled, satisfied and more in control around food
• Learning what a balanced meal looks like, using food you already have at home
• Personalised meal and snack guidance if you think it will be helpful, including foods you enjoy and the occasional treat, respecting your preferences, including vegan, Halal and Kosher diets, allergies and intolerances
• Learning what appropriate portions are without weighing food or counting calories
• Adjusting favourite recipes so you can keep enjoying them
• Learning to read food labels so you can shop with confidence on a realistic budget
• Telling the difference between real hunger and cravings, with practical strategies for managing cravings
• Learning better coping strategies to manage stress, anxiety and low mood, so food isn't your only tool
• Eating out and socialising without it turning into a battle
• Reconnecting with your hunger and fullness cues over time
• Becoming aware of your own triggers for eating when you're not hungry

Between appointments, you'll have daily coaching from me through a personalised app that helps us spot your patterns and triggers around eating, with practical help, motivation and accountability. Where relevant, I'll work with your GP and wider treatment team.
