Individually planned diet for healthy weight loss

At this time of year many are tempted to follow the most popular diet trends or fads based on celebrity endorsement, positive results for a friend, or ongoing publicity highlighting the merits of one diet over another.

Qualified Medical doctor and complementary medicine practitioner, Dr Hussain Bhatti, says that this is exactly what people shouldn’t be doing. “Fads may work for some people, but the majority of people need an individualized, tailored diet” he said. “People following fads may lose weight but re-gain it quickly, or those who don’t lose weight may lose their motivation to get their weight under control” he added.

We treat every person as individual and unique. No two people are alike or have the same problems or complaints, so we design a nutritional plan to suit each and every person according to their needs.

At his Holistic Health clinic Dr Bhatti looks at the individual holistically including their family history, their constitution, lifestyle, and any health conditions or medications that they may be taking.
Dr Bhatti identifies the most common causes of obesity: poor diet, lack of exercise, bad eating habits, stress and strains of lifestyle, working conditions, medical conditions and sometimes just loving food too much. He also suggests three basic approaches to weight
management: nutritional education, gut health and microbiome, nutritional manipulation, nutritional supplementation and micro-immunotherapy

His first advice for new patients before embarking on an individualised plan is a visit to their General Practitioner to rule out any medical conditions or medications which may be causing weight gain. “Too much insulin in your blood, hypoglycemia, anxiety, diabetes or glandular problems can all cause weight gain” he said. “Recent studies show that people suffering from candida, leaky gut syndrome, stress, depression, lack of good quality sleep, allergies, and some chronic conditions can also put on weight due to cravings. Weight gain can also be hereditary, as the discovery of the obesity gene has indicated” he added.
