Does you diet need a tune up?
Most of us like to think that our diet is fairly healthy apart from a few drinks on the weekend or a few junk foods now and then. Then a new trend appears : low fat, low carb, low G.I, high protein, gluten free - leaving us confused as to what is a healthy diet?
Learn which foods best suit your body type
Seeing a Nutritionist will help you eliminate the fads and learn which foods best suit your body.
The simplest change in diet can make a huge difference to your health. For example, many people with bloated belly's feel better when they switch from eating normal bread to eating a yeast free sourdough bread. They didn't need to give up bread, just change the type of bread they eat and the bloating disappears.
There are many simple things you can incorporate into your diet to help boost your energy and wellbeing. Food is an enjoyable part of our daily lives and choosing to eat well is the single best health insurance you could ever take out.
We have some of the most practical Nutritionists Brisbane has to offer. You'll receive easy to achieve take home ideas to improve your health and wellbeing.

Don't be fooled by advertising: the low carb beer example
Many companies like to advertise their products with health claims such as "low fat" or "low carb." Many of us choose these products, believing them to be the healthier choice. But we need to be aware of these misleading food marketing tricks, as they are often used to disguise hidden diet no no's. For example a packet of lollies labelled "low fat" doesn't mention that they are 70% sugar!
Recently a lot of low carb beers have appeared on the market. The alcohol companies have released beers which are indeed lower in carb than standard full strength beers. So we all drink them feeling good about ourselves and how we are saving our waistlines. However, the calories from a beer are mainly from the alcohol content in the beer NOT the carbs! So if you're drinking a full strength low carb beer it still has a lot more calories then a light beer. It's the calories from the alcohol which makes us gain weight, not really the carbs. So infact, you're better off drinking light or reduced alcohol drinks or a nip of spirits with a diet / non sugary mixer.

How to achieve the best results when seeing a Naturopath:
Our Naturopath Elysia Humphries is also qualified in Nutrition. Just as you don't get fit by only going to the Gym once, it takes a few sessions with a Naturopath to notice improvements to your health. Naturopathy helps you to discover the reasons why your health is out of balance and slowly but surely helps you to achieve a state of good health. Elysia has noticed that her clients who get the longest lasting positive results come for at least 3 appointments.
This is why we offer a 3 pack at a discounted rate. At your first consult you'll be given a health plan and advised of what treatment Elysia will use over the next few sessions to get you health and diet back on track.
Most clients notice improvements within 2 - 4 weeks and continue to improve once treatment is completed.
