What does a nutritionist do and how can they help you lose weight?

With so many people claiming to have the answer to weight loss, it’s hard to know who to trust.

Your doctor?

A personal trainer?

A nutritionist?

But who is really best for help with losing weight and what does a nutritionist do to help with weight loss?

What does a nutritionist do and how can they help you?

The word nutritionist is very loosely defined.

As a certified nutritionist myself, I know that there are all sorts of qualifications and certifications to becoming a nutritionist.

But what is most important is how will a nutritionist help you to lose weight? And is a nutritionist the right person to see for weight loss.

The answer is absolutely yes, but it depends on the nutritionist!

With weight loss, what does a nutritionist do?

Most nutritionists will push the same diets that everyone else is pushing.

“Move more, eat less and cut out bad foods.” 

That is the general philosophy of most nutritionists.

But why would you waste your precious time and money to pay someone to tell you what you already know doesn’t work.

Because if you are like the rest of us, you have probably already tried lots of different diets right? And I’m sure you’re not surprised to hear that studies show that over 95% of diets don’t work, at least beyond the short term.

Worse than that, the same study shows that you are more likely to gain weight from dieting in the long run. Maybe you have experienced that as well, where you initially lost some weight on a diet, only for it all to come back on, plus more, once you ran out of willpower? This can lead to an exhausting cycle of yoyo dieting, as over time your weight rebounds down and up and up over and over.

So if diets don’t work, but most nutritionists suggest that you go on a diet, why would you see a nutritionist!?

Well this is where the difference comes in between a nutritionist and an intuitive nutritionist. Let's look at how the latter can help you to effectively and sustainably lose weight.

What does an intuitive nutritionist do?

Intuitive eating is a completely different approach to weight loss than dieting.

You know those annoying people who seem to be able to eat whatever they want? Through intuitive eating, you can be one of those annoying people!

Generally it works by eating when you are hungry and stopping when you are full. Now I know this sounds overly simplistic, and in a way it is. Because unfortunately as dieters, we have spent years being told by “influencers”, fad diets and calorie calculators about how much food we “should” be eating.

What these lucky people who have never dieted instead do is simply listen to their natural hunger and full signals. They are able to stay naturally lean because they are in tune with their own body. They eat when they are hungry. They stop when they are full.

Now you can learn how to reconnect with your natural hunger and full signals to start losing weight without dieting. However, to have the best chance of success, that’s where a good intuitive nutritionist comes in.

How can a nutritionist help you to lose weight?

An intuitive nutritionist can help you to lose weight by reconnecting with your natural hunger and full signals.

As an intuitive nutritionist myself, I can provide you with a personalised plan to learn how to lose weight without dieting. Having someone to hold you accountable and break old unhelpful dieting beliefs is the best way to ensure success.
