Nutrition and dietetics
A healthy diet has a decisive influence on each person’s quality of life and health: health is protected above all at the table, by learning the basic rules of healthy eating. It is not only about losing weight, but also about keeping the results naturally.
Overweight and obesity are widespread in our society. An appropriate diet that helps you reach a healthy weight prevents even serious complications such as diabetes, high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. It is best to rely on a specialist such as a nutritionist for a personalised diet that is correctly balanced in all nutrients, avoiding risky do-it-yourself diets, which are often harmful.
The Fitolab method teaches you to eat well: the properties of foods and how to combine them so that all physiological, biochemical and metabolic needs are met. It helps you lead a healthier life and feel better day after day.
The first consultation
During the first consultation we collect all the information about your lifestyle and eating habits.
We measure your weight and height and analyse your body mass index (BMI), to assess the amount of lean and fat mass in your body and your basal metabolism. We then consider whether to use specific tests and tools to get a complete picture of the patient.
Overweight or obesity are often associated with gastrointestinal problems such as constipation, frequent diarrhoea, alternating diarrhoea and constipation, and bloating after meals: a good diet cannot work without a gut that functions properly.
That is why the first goal is to bring the gut back to normal if it is not working well.
Once the possible causes of the overweight or obesity have been explored (foods, quantities, meal times, physical activity, stress, known medical conditions), we take a few days to prepare your fully personalised diet, based on the BIA measurements.
Within a few days you will receive your personalised, balanced diet.
Learning to eat well
Follow-up appointments are based on measuring your weight and body composition, to assess changes in hydration, lean mass and fat mass since the previous visit. Depending on how well the proposed changes are working and on the results achieved, the diet is updated when needed.
The diet lasts only as long as needed to reach the agreed goals.
You will not have to “eat like this” for the rest of your life: throughout the programme we teach you how to eat, how to combine foods in the right way, and what to do after a short period of “overindulgence”.
We teach you the nutritional characteristics of each food, and you will learn that every food has its own properties and particular therapeutic functions: knowing your food means you can use it as an ally in every situation.
By the end of the programme you will have learnt to eat in a healthy, balanced way and will be independent: you will no longer need a nutritionist and will be able to “walk on your own”.
In future you will only need to follow the guidelines you learnt during the programme, so as not to repeat the mistakes that led you to the nutritionist in the first place.
