Weight Management for Adults
1 in 2 adults in Australia is overweight or obese. Fat loss is a hard and usually long term process. Quick fix weight loss programs schemes and books continue to cost people who are desperate to lose weight a lot of money, but few are sustainable long term.
While fat loss requires hard work it is by no means impossible. A dietitian who specialises in fat loss will able to work with you over a number of months to help you shed body fat, with a sustainable meal plan that is not restrictive and specifically formulated to fit your lifestyle.
Susie has specialised in fat loss in athletes, children and adults for four years. The large bulk of her clients are active people who want to lose 10-20 kilograms but have trouble fine tuning their diet and exercise program to achieve this loss.
There is no denying that fat loss takes time and needs a commitment of at least 3 to 6 months but once this commitment is made, a specialist dietitian can facilitate this process.
If you answer yes to the following questions, Susie’s approached to food and nutrition is likely to suit you:
- Are you prepared to commit to regular follow up for at least 3 to 6 months?
- Have you tried to lose weight via conventional methods to no avail?
- Do you follow an exercise program but see no change in your body?
- Do you have fairly good nutrition knowledge but still cannot lose weight?
- If you do not exercise, are you prepared to start?
- Have you enough time in your life to attend appointments regularly?
- Have you been thinking about losing weight for some time?

During their initial sessions in September 2003, Susie set Ben a goal weight of 80kilos which at the time Ben laughed at. For the initial 6 weeks, Ben did not lose any weight on the scales, although he felt better and his clothes felt looser. Over the next twelve months Ben saw Susie every three weeks for regular follow up and fine tuning of his meal plan. Once Ben had lost ~ 20 kilos, ~8 months after his first appointment Susie encouraged him to consult with a personal trainer to further increase his muscle mass in order to become more metabolically efficient. Ben then went on to achieve his goal weight of 79kilos ~ 12 months after his initial dietary appointment, he recently ran a time of 46 minutes in the Sutherland to Surf and knows exactly how to balance his food intake to eat well but enjoy life and good food.
