Obesity & Weight Loss

Most of us would admit to wanting to lose weight.

Today’s life-style makes weight gain something of the norm.

Research shows that we all have different ways of losing weight, but when it comes to keeping weight off, there are three main factors which are common in those that succeed: regular weighing, a low-fat diet and regular exercise.

At Bartholomew Way Clinic you will be given time to explore ways that would be suitable for you to lose weight. Your diet will be analysed in detail to ascertain your calorie intake and how you can make simple changes to your diet to reduce your energy intake without having to make unrealistic changes that you cannot maintain.

Underweight & Requiring Weight Gain

More money is spent by the NHS on the affects of under-nutrition or being underweight surprisingly.

Excessive weight loss is very distressing, both to relatives and sufferers. At Bartholomew Clinic we can take time to discuss these issues and work together to formulate a diet plan that will work for you – this may involve fortifying your diet with high calorie nutrients such as butter, cream or specialised products.

General Healthy eating

Most individuals would admit to needing dietary advice: people often do not know what they should be eating – it is complex. Today’s life-style means that what we eat is often compromised, leading to poor dietary choices. Society’s poor eating habits have led to a change in disease patterns: no longer is the communicable disease of dominance, but the non-communicable disease has emerged (cardiovascular disease, obesity, cancer, and digestive disorders) which is mainly the result of poor diet and lack of exercise.

This link to the British Nutrition Foundation gives a clear outline to what is acknowledged as a healthy diet:

This is where I can help – a detailed analysis of your diet will tell me where problems are, and together we can work out practical solutions to create a healthy and balanced diet that ensures you and your family are incorporating all nutrients within your diet in a balance to optimise your health.
