Probably one of the most important things that you need to do as a Nutritionist is to listen.

When I begin any weight loss journey here at my consultancy with any one of my online clients.

The first thing that I do is to let them take the floor.

I let them tell me all about their work/life balance.

And I let them tell me of any issues that they feel are currently stopping them from making progress.

Because at the end of the day, this isn’t about me.

It is about them.

And I think lots of people in this industry misunderstand this.

There is a huge amount of “ego” within the industry.

And I sometimes think that this stops people from getting results with their clients.

I see lots of people being put on strict nutrition plans.

And then when the client cannot adhere to it, because it’s stupidly restrictive, then it all suddenly becomes the client’s fault.

When really, the truth is that this industry is letting people down, and it has been for years now.

People looking to lose weight need to be listened to.

They need to have a degree of empathy shown towards them.

And they also need to be given huge support and education.

What they don’t need is an ego giving them a cookie-cutter “diet” plan with the words “how much do you want it?!!” being yelled at them.

Because it just does not work.

And it just does not fit with real life.

There is so much more to weight loss than a few meals being scribbled down on a bit of paper to follow.

We have to look at people’s current commitments, relationships with food, and their current obstacles to weight loss.

Only then can we work out a successful plan for them.

Which will get them weight loss results.

For the longterm 🙂
