WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
To lose half kilogram a week an energy deficit of 500 calories a day is required. However, weight loss is not a simple matter of energy in and energy out. The help of a registered dietitian is invaluable, providing nutritional advice to promote weight loss as well exploring motivation and barriers to change. This may include a meal plan or simple step-to-step changes to implement within a set time-frame.
