Weight Loss FAQ's

People at different life stages
From young adults to seniors, our strategies adjust to the changing nutritional needs at each stage of life, promoting optimal health and effective weight management.

Individuals with chronic health conditions
If you have conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or metabolic syndrome, our weight loss plans also prioritise managing and improving your health conditions.
Supporting clients with metabolic health imbalances is a specialism of ours and we provide you with clarity in the approach that you should be taking not only to lose weight but to reverse your cardiometabolic imbalances.
We help anything from weight loss with a short-term focus (4-12 weeks), through to significant health and physique transformations that may take 6 months or more.
Our weight loss nutritionists also have the skillset to help individuals overcome plateau’s and issues with weight loss resistance.
2. Can we help you lose fat from stubborn areas?
As weight loss nutritionists, we understand the challenges of targeting fat loss in stubborn areas, such as the abdomen, thighs, and arms.
While it's important to note that spot reduction (losing fat from a specific area of your body) is largely a myth, we can develop a comprehensive plan that includes:
Nutritional guidance
Tailored dietary strategies that enhance overall fat loss while nourishing the body.
Lifestyle adjustments
Recommendations on lifestyle changes that help support metabolism and reduce overall body fat.
Exercise suggestions
Guidance on appropriate exercise and movement to support muscle mass and improve body composition. Optimising muscle mass can often change the shape of an area that someone sees as “flabby” and stubborn!
Ultimately, the goal is to achieve a healthy weight loss through a balanced approach. Whilst there are some influencing factors relating to where we store body fat and potentially some nuance recommendations that can help to improve fat loss in certain areas of the body. Where we store body fat is largely genetically pre-determined. Therefore, if you feel you are over fat in a specific area, focus on the habits that are going to achieve overall fat loss.
3. Is weight loss as simple as calories in and calories out?
If someone tells you weight loss is not about calories, they are lying to you.
However, what must be said is your calorie output and calorie input is massively influenced by our physiology and our psychology. So, what on face-value should be a simple concept, “calories in vs calories out”, can have a lot of moving parts.
Our weight loss nutritionists develop personalised nutrition and lifestyle guidance that supports your physiology and understands the psychological components associated to the choices that you make.
Our weight loss nutritionists make recommendations that help to prevent plateaus. This can help you achieve positive body composition results, minimising the risk of a diet that becomes increasingly restrictive.
Our goal is to give you as much freedom as possible in your diet while still achieving the desired outcome.
4. How we measure your weight loss progress?
We love data, and as part of that, we offer a variety of testing that supports your weight loss journey.
For clients that see our weight loss nutritionists in our London clinic, we run body composition assessments that breakdown your weight into fat mass, muscle mass, water levels etc. This helps to set realistic goals and track progress beyond just the weight on the scale.
We also offer specialist laboratory tests that help to guide us with the most appropriate diet and lifestyle strategy for you. We can uncover and help to address underlying imbalances that may negatively impact results and we can also track improvements in your test results.
5. Do we provide clients with a diet plan for weight loss?
Successful weight loss is much more than a diet plan. In fact, simply following a diet plan rarely provides transformational results, and almost never provides lasting results.
Whilst we will provide dietary plans for guidance purposes. We are very much focused on personalising your weight loss journey.
We all have different challenges and life demands. It is important that these are heard, acknowledged, and catered for.
The level of personalisation and support we put in place goes way beyond just providing a client with a ridged diet plan to follow.
You should not see working with us as getting the information you need to lose weight, but rather thinking of working with us so that we can show you how to integrate that information!
6. How can hormones influence weight loss?
Hormones play a crucial role in regulating metabolism, appetite, and fat distribution, significantly influencing weight loss and body composition. Our London Based weight loss Nutritionists can help you understand and manage the hormonal influences on your weight by:
Assessing hormonal imbalances
We can help identify if hormonal imbalances are affecting your weight, such as issues with thyroid hormones, insulin, cortisol, or sex hormones. We can do this by running relevant lab tests or assessing past lab data you already have.
Tailoring nutritional strategies
Based on hormonal assessments, we provide dietary recommendations that can help balance hormone levels, enhance metabolism, and promote fat loss.
Lifestyle and stress management
Since hormones can also be impacted by stress and sleep patterns, we offer guidance on lifestyle changes that support hormonal health and contribute to weight management.
Ongoing monitoring and support
Hormonal effects on weight loss can vary over time, necessitating adjustments in your program. We provide continuous monitoring and adjustments to ensure that your diet and lifestyle remain aligned with your hormonal health and weight loss goals.
By addressing hormonal factors, our team of weight loss nutritionists not only helps streamline your weight loss journey but also enhances your overall well-being.
7. Can poor sleep influence weight loss?
Poor sleep is a significant factor that can negatively impact weight loss. As weight loss nutritionists, we understand the intricate relationship between sleep and weight management. Poor sleep can lead to:
Increased appetite
Lack of sleep can elevate levels of ghrelin, the hunger hormone, and reduce levels of leptin, the hormone that signals fullness, leading to increased appetite and potential weight gain.
Slowed metabolism
Sleep deprivation can slow down your metabolism, making it harder to lose weight even with a controlled diet.
Poorer dietary choices
When you're tired, you're more likely to reach for high-calorie, sugary foods for a quick energy boost.
Reduced physical activity
Fatigue from poor sleep can decrease your motivation and energy levels, reducing physical activity which is crucial for burning calories.
8. Can we help address poor sleep to aid with weight loss?
Yes, as your weight loss nutritionist we can help by:
Assessing your sleep habits
Understanding your sleep patterns to identify any issues that may be impacting your weight.
Offering nutritional advice
Recommending foods and eating times that can help improve sleep quality.
Lifestyle guidance
Providing tips on sleep hygiene and lifestyle adjustments that can enhance both sleep quality and weight loss efforts.
Supplementation advice
We can provide expert supplement recommendations to help aid your sleep.
Improving your sleep is a vital component of a successful weight loss strategy, and we're here to guide you through making the necessary adjustments to achieve better sleep and a healthier weight.
9. Can stress impact on weight loss?
Stress can significantly impact weight loss efforts. When you're stressed, your body produces higher levels of the hormone cortisol, which can lead to several weight-related challenges:
Increased appetite
Cortisol can enhance your appetite and cravings, particularly for sugary and fatty foods, making it difficult to make choices that align with weight loss.
Fat storage
High cortisol levels has been shown to promote the storage of fat, especially around the midsection.
Disrupted metabolism
Chronic stress can affect your body’s metabolism, slowing it down and making it more challenging to lose weight.
Emotional eating
Stress often triggers emotional eating as a way to seek comfort or relieve anxiety, which can lead to overeating.
10. Can we help manage the impact of stress on your weight?
Yes, our team of weight loss nutritionists can help manage the impact of stress on your weight by:
Tailoring nutrition plans
We give you the tools to help create a way of eating that is bespoke to you and your given life demands. This means we help to prevent you from feeling overwhelmed by the changes that you are making.
Lifestyle advice
Offering strategies for stress management such as mindfulness, meditation, or yoga, which can reduce stress levels and support your weight loss journey.
Regular support and coaching
Maintaining regular support and coaching to adjust your plan as needed and provide emotional and motivational support.
Managing stress is a crucial component of effective weight loss, and as your weight loss nutritionists, we're committed to supporting you through this challenge with comprehensive, personalised strategies.
11. Is exercise important for weight loss?
Exercise is a vital component of any weight loss strategy. It not only helps burn calories but also builds muscle, which can boost your metabolism and improve your body's efficiency at burning fat.
Our weight loss nutritionists are not just that, they all have Sport and Exercise Science backgrounds. This means we are in a unique position to be able to guide and prescribe when it comes to daily movement and exercise.
Therefore, we provide:
Personalised exercise recommendations
Based on your current fitness level, preferences, and goals, we can suggest effective exercises that you enjoy and can sustain long-term.
Balancing nutrition with activity: We'll tailor your nutritional intake to support your exercise regimen, ensuring you have the right amount of energy and nutrients for optimal performance and recovery.
Accountability and support
Regular check-ins can help keep you motivated and on track. We can adjust your exercise routine as needed to keep it enjoyable and effective as you progress.
A Holistic approach
We consider how exercise interacts with other aspects of your life and health. This includes stress levels, sleep quality, and daily schedule, to create a balanced and manageable plan.
12. Do nutritional supplements help with weight loss?
Nutritional supplements can play a role in weight loss but should be considered as one part of a comprehensive support program. Our weight loss nutritionists may recommend supplements thoughtfully and strategically. Here are some ways we might use supplementation to help with weight loss:
Filling nutritional gaps
Supplements can help fill dietary gaps that might be hindering your weight loss efforts, such as lower levels of vitamins or minerals given the reduction in energy intake or higher demands because of an increase in activity. Also, meeting appropriate protein demands for some individuals may be challenging without protein supplementation.
Appetite control
Some supplements may help reduce appetite or improve the feeling of fullness. In some circumstances we may lean on certain supplements that influence the gut and specific hormones related to appetite management.
Supporting exercise performance
Some sports nutrition supplements can enhance exercise performance or muscle recovery. This can help overall body composition.
It is important to approach supplements with caution, as they are not magic solutions, and their effectiveness varies.
Supplements that promise to increase metabolism for weight loss, have a very minor impact. Something so small in fact, subtle changes in your daily habits will provide much better results.
13. Should you see a dietician or a nutritionist for weight loss?
While both dieticians and nutritionists are experts in food and nutrition, our weight loss nutritionists provide a broad perspective that includes lifestyle and holistic factors.
We don’t believe you should be deciding based upon whether someone is a Nutritionist or a Dietician. You can get great Nutritionists for weight loss and great Dieticians for weight loss. This is born more out of the training, experience, system and support that individual or clinic can put in place to support you with your goals.
Here’s why choosing to work with one of our weight loss nutritionists might be advantageous for your weight loss goals:
Our nutritionists take an individualised approach to weight loss. They assess not only your dietary habits but also lifestyle factors like sleep, stress, and physical activity, which all play critical roles in weight management.
We learn about your unique environment, time demands, preferences and work with you to find what works best for you. We empower you on this journey to better body composition, so that you feel in control and confident in the process and your ability to achieve the desired outcome.
14. What type of weight loss clients have we helped in the past?
We have worked with all types of weight loss clients. We have multiple weight loss nutritionists all with their own unique set of skills and coaching that they bring to the table. Our clinic offers a framework that allows our clinicians to truly personalise the approach and work with you in a flexible manner.
As a result, we have worked with all types of age ranges, different genders, specific heath conditions like PCOS, diabetes and insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, thyroid issues and more.
We also understand the psychological demands of weight loss. Whether it is the journey you have had to this point before starting with us, or some of the psychological challenges that you face when transforming with us.
One of Steve’s particular weight loss niches is supporting actors through demanding physique transformations in the film industry. These are often very time demanding weight loss goals to allow the actor to create the desired physique for their given role.
Over the past 10 years, Steve has worked in the across multiple movie products like Thor, Avengers, Heart of the Sea, Jack Reacher, Tattooist of Auschwitz, Unbroken, Ripley, Mogul Mowgli to name a few.
Working to this extreme with clients, also gives a specific perspective on how to manage clients through their weight loss journeys. We have seen how obsessive people can become in their desire to achieve a certain outcome.

Steve’s positive approach and his support via WhatsApp between consultations helped me to not only lose the weight gained, but also regain my fitness. I’m back running and cycling and feel even better than I did prior my diagnosis.”
