Looking for a Weight-Loss Dietitian?
Maybe you should actually be looking for an Eating Disorder Dietitian.
If you’re searching “weight-loss dietitian” because you want to feel calmer around food, finally lose the same 5–10 kg for good, or stop the cycle of strict eating then overeating…. pause for a moment.
What many people describe as “needing to lose weight” is often a sign of chronic dieting, shame around eating, or an ongoing diet–binge cycle. An eating disorder dietitian can often help more effectively than a clinician whose sole focus is weight loss.
Why weight-focused approaches often don’t work
Weight-loss programs usually centre on calories in/out, the number on the scale, or strict food rules. While these may lead to short-term weight changes, for many people they also trigger a familiar and exhausting pattern:
Restricting → craving → overeating or bingeing → shame → starting over.
Yo-yo dieting — repeated cycles of weight loss and regain, that leave you feeling stuck and defeated.
Increasing preoccupation with food and body image, sometimes leading to disordered eating behaviours.
The truth is, dieting doesn’t usually address the root causes of food and body concerns. Instead, it often reinforces them.
HAES & what we do differently
At The Nourish Club, our approach is grounded in Health At Every Size (HAES) principles, alongside body neutrality and body positivity. These frameworks all share one core belief: your health, worth, and wellbeing are not defined by the number on the scale.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:
Health over weight: We focus on health-promoting behaviours — such as balanced eating, gentle movement, good sleep, and stress reduction — rather than weight as the main outcome.
Food freedom: We work with you to establish regular, flexible eating patterns that feel nourishing and reduce the cycle of restriction and bingeing.
Respect for your body: Whether through neutrality (acceptance without constant judgement) or positivity (celebrating your body as it is), we help you relate to your body with more compassion.
Compassion-first care: We meet you where you are, without judgement. Your goals and your quality of life guide the process.
Individualised strategies: Practical nutrition support tailored to your lifestyle, preferences, and medical needs — never one-size-fits-all rules.
Collaboration: If needed, we coordinate with GPs, psychologists and other professionals to ensure you feel supported from every angle.
This approach is about sustainable change, reducing shame, and building a calmer relationship with food and your body, not chasing yet another quick fix.
