Is a Keto Diet the Best Way to Lose Weight?

by Geraldine | Nov 15, 2021 | Health Behaviour & Mindset

I've been hosting a number of rooms on clubhouse recently and the question that comes up time and time again is “should I try the Keto diet to help me lose weight?”The keto diet remains a hot trend for weight loss, but I have to say I have never seen so much confusion...

Despite the wealth of nutrition and health information that’s out there, most of us have more questions than answers. That’s because having a healthy relationship with food isn’t about how much knowledge you have, it’s about being able to listen to your own body’s internal wisdom.

A note from Geraldine

I believe you know deep down inside exactly what is best for your health, but somewhere along the way, your intuition was clouded by arbitrary rules and rigid thoughts about food and health.

I’ve had my fair share of food rules and dieting. I never even considered that it may be problematic. I thought I was just being “healthy”. But then, through my discovery of Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size, I came to realise that my attempts to control were actually controlling me! I learned that food shouldn’t cause you shame or guilt so I let go of the rules, got really curious, and gave myself a lot of space to rediscover what living a life well-nourished meant to me. And, do you know what….this life has a lot more joyful experiences to offer.

Break free from dieting and make the connection between your emotions and your eating habits so that you can enjoy a happier, healthier relationship with food (and your body). Do you find that your emotions are driving you to overeat? The effect is temporary, the feelings don’t go away, and you likely bear the additional burden of guilt and feeling out-of-control around food, and so, an unhealthy cycle is born. The good news is that you can take steps to break this cycle, and we can support you on your journey. At GS Health & Nutrition we will provide you with the knowledge, detailed exercises and frameworks you need to make positive changes so that you can feel more in control of your behaviour around food and so much happier within yourself.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition that affects 1 in 10 women worldwide. It causes an imbalance in women’s sex hormones like oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone (androgens), leading to the growth of ovarian cysts (benign masses). If left untreated, PCOS can lead to irregular periods or absent periods, weight gain, fertility problems, unwanted hair growth on our face and body, acne, alopecia (hair loss from the head), pregnancy complications, diabetes, heart disease and even cancer.

Without proper management, PCOS can be a major life-changer. While it may be one of the most common reproductive disorders, it’s also one of the most poorly understood from a dietary management perspective. This is where we come in. We can help you find the right dietary and supplementary regimen and lifestyle strategies to manage your symptoms without the overwhelm.
