Diet plan

Once I get all the information required, we prepare an individualised plan that will enable you to achieve your goals. You get this via email, along with other supporting documents (e.g. leaflets explaining the underpinning principles of the plan, food exchanges, recipes, food diary).

After you review all these documents, a call or follow-up email is usually needed in order to explain how the plan works and to answer any initial questions. The whole method is based on what works best for each person, as an individualised approach is the key for maximising results and maintaining them in the long term.

I would like to highlight that you are not expected to follow the diet plan “by the book”. The plan aims to provide you with a starting point as it combines your dietary habits and routines with our goals. It’s important to keep in mind that you are not expected to be “strict”, but methodical.  It is more important to make small, gradual changes, than to stick to a strict program. The methodical approach is going to give you the long term results we are after, whereas the “strict” approach will exhaust you and may lead to a vicious cycle of defeat.

The dietary component of the plan is based on the Mediterranean diet principles. It does not involve special meals, complicated recipes or food supplements. On the contrary, it aims to support you and your family to adopt a healthy balanced diet for life.
