Calorie restriction - I am asked about this topic almost daily.

The diet industry has pushed the “calorie in vs calorie out" restriction model for so long and it just doesn’t work. We can do so much better to improve metabolic health.

This is a question I am asked every day. We live in a completely diet obsessed culture where for years calorie restriction has been viewed as the only way of controlling weight and reaching that point of ‘ideal thinness.’ The old ‘eat less, move more’ paradigm that we have no doubt all encou...

A little piece about how we approach your first session.

Sarah had always struggled with her weight. For as long as she can remember she has been on a diet of some sort. When she was 10 years old her mother took her to her first Weight Watchers' clinic. She still remembers standing there while the ‘experts’ told her that she needed to lose weight and ...

New blog out today!

This is a question I am regularly asked in clinic, very often from the most motivated of clients who are pumped and ready to make a difference to their health.

I love recommending Examine.com. Their summary pages provide user friendly presentations of the science behind nutrition and supplement recommendations. This time it is a summary page of the keto' evidence. More will be coming on this as they state there are more than 140 current research projects on this topic.

Information is key for making informed choices based on your health goals and where you are in your health journey.
Enjoy the read.

Keto was the most-Googled diet of 2018. It limits carb intake to under ~50 grams a day, and typically reduces appetite and intake of easy-to-overeat, hyperpalatable foods. However, most trials don't show a large weight loss advantage over higher carb diets, although individual results vary widely. K...

Psst….I’m seeing a dietitian.
Ever had a conversation about food with someone who has seen a dietitian? Not many have. It is more likely that you have discussed facts from books, magazines, Instagram, podcasts or spoken to your PT, friend or even a vet.

A dietitian is often the last stop in seeking food advice after many frustrating attempts to achieve your health goal. Wouldn’t you want to start with asking the right person? A dietitian can help you identify what eating pattern is relevant for you, work with you to decide on your health goals and use food to achieve them. Seeing a dietitian is about applying the science of human nutrition to you.

Head to our latest blog to find out what a consult at Nutrition IQ might be like for you and to receive your free gift.

I love this infographic and it pops up on many of my social media feeds. Why would you see a dietitian? You know how to eat? We may talk to our friends about th
