Analysis: Daily routine, work schedule, dietary and lifestyle choices and socialising routine.
Approach by the best weight loss nutritionist: We helped her make some simple modifications to her current food intake to suit her outcomes. On week 1, we started just by adding more vegetables to her current food choices and dense protein in every meal. We helped her prepare her grocery list on Fridays so that her kitchen was stocked with food items for the whole week. We helped her with simple recipes that did not take too much of her time and gave her tips to prepare for the week days on the weekends. As she got comfortable with the vegetable component in her diet, we introduced some super food which heal the gut and are available in Switzerland like kefir, chicken broth, hemp milk and steal cut oats. Real time support on food options that made it fun and exciting to eat and helping her plan her day to comfortably squeeze in, effective physical activity in the comfort of her home helped her with steady weight loss. She and her family have an active social life and therefore she would be scared of eating in parties on weekends. We gave her guidelines to enjoy her weekends and balance the excess weekend calories with healthy detox plans allowed her to enjoy socialising events as well as be productive on working days and still steadily lose weight.
We asked her to take Vitamin D and B12 supplements for about 3 months to help improve her absorption and improve their levels. It also helped her with overall nutrition support her energy levels.
