When we think about weight gain, the focus tends to be on overnutrition—eating too much and moving too little. But what if obesity is actually rooted in malnutrition? It’s time to rethink the way we approach dieting: when the body is healthy and well-nourished, weight naturally stabilises.
Despite the explosion of the diet industry, obesity rates continue to rise, leaving many wondering why. The truth is, a lot of diet advice is outdated and incomplete, leading to a vicious cycle of failed attempts at weight loss. Modern diets may restrict calories but often leave us lacking in key nutrients, which is why even after cutting calories, people often still feel hungry.
That hunger is not always a sign that we need more food; it’s often an indication that the body is starved for vitamins and minerals. A diet that lacks these essential nutrients keeps the body in a state of deficiency, constantly triggering hunger signals. Take, for example, a typical diet: cereal for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch, and steak for dinner. Where are the essential vitamins and minerals in these meals?
Even though calorie intake may be high, without proper nutrition, the body remains malnourished. This is why many obese individuals are actually undernourished—the body continues to store fat because it isn’t getting the right nutrients to function properly.
The key to sustainable weight loss lies not in simply cutting calories but in providing the body with what it truly needs to thrive. When the body receives the correct balance of nutrients, metabolism improves, hunger signals normalise, and weight naturally stabilises.
At our clinic, we focus on personalised nutrition programmes that give your body the essential nutrients it needs. Rather than depriving your body, we focus on nourishing it, which makes healthy, sustainable weight loss achievable.
