Weight management

A diet is rather like going on a holiday - one day you have to return to normal eating. This usually results in weight gain of the lost weight and more.

Fad diets only work in the short term they are not a long term solution. Research has established time and time again that fad diets do not work and more often than not result in increased weight gain.

Long hours, stress, lack of time to cook or to exercise all contribute to weight gain.  Busy clients need quick, easy to prepare tasty meal options along with herbal and nutritional supplements to help them achieve their weight loss goals.

Through Corporate Hippy Natural Therapies, our aim is to change life habits and re-establish a permanent but realistic eating approach.  To severely restrict calories creating hunger pains is not a successful long-term, weight management strategy.

Foods included in weight management programs are foods that metabolically encourage fat reduction and also satisfy any hunger pangs. Low glycaemic foods are encouraged.  An appropriate balance of proteins, complex carbohydrates and the right fats as part of a healthy lifestyle change will ensure the body returns to a more stabile weight. A diet with the essential nutrients will not only reduce any hunger but will increase your the energy levels and wellbeing.

Herbs and supplements are chosen if necessary to address issues that may be hindering weight loss such as stress, toxins, poor liver function or digestion, problems with thyroid and metabolic function and sugar cravings. Herbs and nutritional supplements are prescribed on an individual basis and only when necessary.

Exercise and appropriate nutritional advice to support an exercise program are also an essential part of any long term weight management programme.

Our programme involves the time tested philosophies of naturopathy combined with modern science to ensure the most safe, healthy, effective and permanent changes to weight loss become part of your daily life.
