Overweight and obesity should no longer treated by prescribing a restrictive diet.

The decision to eat or not eat, what and when to eat should be based on identifying your true needs of the moment (hunger, appetite, taste), and not on a diet set by someone else without your participation. In theory, most people know what they should change to improve their diet and lose weight, but it is the implementation that is difficult. A person’s eating habits are influenced by a wide range of experiences, information, thoughts, and emotions, which in turn are shaped by their how they have been raised in their family, culture, and personal experiences, among other factors.

This is why dietary advice can sometimes be difficult to put into practice.

If this is the case, it becomes necessary to carefully and compassionately analyze the person’s eating behavior: why they eat what they eat, when they eat, how much they eat, how they eat, etc. Raising awareness around the act of eating helps to better understand what drives a person’s eating behavior. And it is this expanded understanding that allows us to identify which aspects of eating and eating behavior can be changed in order to achieve sustainable weight loss. It is an adventurous journey, and my role is to guide and advise you, step by step, with kindness.
