2. What Will I Discover?
In these sessions, you’ll discover:
The eating patterns you’ve been following that may be contributing to weight gain — as well as other factors you WOULDN’T EVEN IMAGINE could be playing a role (and yes, it’s not all in your head!).
Why you sometimes get that overwhelming urge for something crunchy, crispy and snacky!!
Why there are times when you’re absolutely desperate for something sweet!
How the extra weight may actually have been serving you in some way until now!
I know, I know!
99 times out of 100, the first answer is: “Obviously, it hasn’t!”
But you’ll discover that, somewhere beneath the surface, it may actually be serving a purpose.
And only once you become aware of it can you begin to change it.
What the weight you want to reach — and the body you want to have — really represent for you.
And you’ll also:
Clarify what is actually bothering YOU (not everyone else!) and what you want to achieve by the end of our work together.
Define WHAT YOU WANT TO GAIN by changing the way you eat — rather than focusing only on what you want to lose (yes, I know you’re saying you want to lose 10 kg!).
Recognise what has been preventing you from losing weight until now.
>> I’ll ask you some questions that I’m pretty sure no one has ever asked you before! Get ready for plenty of back-to-back “Ahaaa! So THAT’S why…” and “No waaay! Wow!!!”
>> You’ll get a powerful, eye-opening tool that will help you become aware of what you’re actually doing right now — and will keep US CONNECTED throughout the week!
You’ll also discover:
The answers to the key questions — What? Why? How? Where? When? How much? — that have been haunting you for years!
How much water, coffee, alcohol and soft drinks to have each day.
Which powerful food combinations can help keep you full throughout the day, so you can avoid all that constant crunchy-snacky grazing!
Valuable strategies for how much to eat so you can get maximum enjoyment — with ZERO guilt! Amazing, right??? (Come on, tell me how much you want this! 😉)

I’ll also give you:
Vinaigrette ideas for your salads (so you don’t feel like you’re grazing in a field!).
Alternatives to toasties (so you don’t get stuck in the toastie, toastie, toastie, toastie routine!).
Meal-prep guidance to help you prepare and organise your meals while also saving time and money.
Over the 8 weeks, as long as you put each week’s goals into practice, we’ll work through the nutritional side step by step.
By the end, you’ll understand the things I take into account when putting together a nutrition plan — explained in a really simple, easy-to-understand way — so you can apply them wherever you are.
Whether it’s winter or summer.
Whether you’re at home or eating out with friends.
Whether you work shifts or regular hours.
Whether you have food prepared at home or absolutely nothing ready!
In every session, we’ll also work through practical exercises, all collected in a shared file, to help you gain greater awareness and clarity.
Finally, every Friday afternoon, I’ll send you an accountability email to help you:
✔️ recognise your progress,
✔️ acknowledge everything you achieved during the week, and
✔️ organise the week ahead.
And every Friday, that email will include a different challenge!
This small habit alone helps train your brain to focus on what you DID do — rather than what you “didn’t do”, “should have done”, and so on — and instead focus on what’s going well and what you can do to make it even better!
3. Who Is It For?
This is for you if:
You’ve decided that temporary solutions no longer work for you.
You want to lose the extra weight — and keep it off!
You’re tired of diets, hunger, deprivation, disappointment, counting calories and worrying about “temptations”.
You’re tired of spending all day cooking whenever you decide you need to “be good” with your eating.
You feel like you’re alone in this struggle.
You want to work on your mindset — not just your food.
You need a boost of confidence and support.
You often feel unwell and lack energy and mental clarity.
You’re a team player, enjoy being part of a group and have realised that this kind of environment works better for you.
You want all the benefits of nutrition education, while also becoming part of a group where you feel understood, seen and heard.

4. Who Is It Not For?
This programme isn’t for you if:
❌ You believe you already know what to do and simply need someone to tell you off so you’ll actually do it.
❌ You believe a dietitian’s job is to cut foods out of your diet.
❌ You simply want to be able to say, “I TRIED THIS TOO” — and it FAILED!
❌ You only consider it a success if you’re losing at least 1–2 kg every week.
❌ You believe the weight will somehow disappear magically, all by itself!
❌ You’re not willing to listen to and try the approach I’ll suggest.
❌ You don’t enjoy being part of a group.
❌ You believe you’ll just be wasting money again without seeing any results.
❌ You don’t feel ready yet to focus on yourself and your own needs.
5. Will There Be Men in the Group? I Feel a Bit Embarrassed…
There may be men in the group, although it’s unlikely. Around 95% of my clients are women.
However, this is an educational seminar, which means I’ll be doing most of the talking and we won’t be sharing highly personal information.
