Weight loss is a complex science

Picture
The key to successful weight loss is to eat less calories than you need while still achieving enough nutrition to prevent damaging your health and metabolism.  It needs to be a sustainable healthy diet to maintain long term results without being too restrictive to prevent social inclusion.  It can require a change in attitudes, habits and self image.   For some of us it involves understanding what drives our desire to eat.

It is an individual path as we all have different needs but it must maintain balance and even a little humour.  It is a life long journey that requires support at times and learning new techniques to change how we see food.  It’s not about avoiding whole food groups or never eating chocolate again.  It’s about getting the balance right.

At Start Where You Are we can provide you with the information and support you need.
