Why Nutrition Coaching Is an Important Part of a Weight Loss Plan

Easy-fix weight loss solutions simply don’t work. There's no magic to weight loss, but there are a lot of facets involved in a successful weight loss program. This is because you need to address several issues at the same time to be successful.

Anastasios Manessis, MD, FACE, and registered dietician Brandon Caraballosa, MS, RD, are experts in helping patients lose weight and improve their overall health. At neXendo Wellness, with offices in the Murray Hill and Long Island City neighborhoods of New York City, they take a whole-person approach to helping patients achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

In this blog, they explain why you need nutritional counseling to lose weight and keep it off. 

Nutrition coaching starts with a big-picture view of your health 

To lose weight, you need to understand where you need to go, what might hold you back, and how you can get to your destination. That’s why we provide diagnostic blood work, metabolic testing, and other testing, so we can identify potential health issues, such as thyroid problems, that could affect your ability to lose weight.

We also spend time discussing your lifestyle and diet and getting an overall picture of your health. As part of this, we measure your weight and body mass index (BMI). We also analyze your body composition to help you learn more about your muscle-to-fat ratio.

Once we have a good picture of your health, we design your program. Your plan may include the following:

• Lifestyle changes
• Daily exercises
• Regular weigh-ins
• Ongoing support

All of our plans are customized to our patients’ needs. We offer a variety of comprehensive weight loss solutions that can help you make necessary changes to your life, your diet, and your levels of physical activity.

Nutrition coaching shows you how to eat well

What you eat plays a huge role in your ability to lose excess fat and maintain a healthy weight. The goal of nutritional counseling is to teach you how to provide your body with the nutrition it needs to function optimally. With so many food choices available, it can be difficult to know what’s good for you and what isn’t.

We provide you with resources to improve your diet, so you can lose weight safely. We also focus on helping you make long-term changes to your diet and eating habits, so you can stay healthy, fit, and active.

Our nutrition experts provide insight into how to incorporate more fresh foods into your daily diet and how to limit your use of sugar, processed foods, and salt. We also help you learn how to prepare meals at home and make healthy choices when you go out to eat.

By learning to change how and what you eat, you can achieve your weight loss goals and keep the weight off for good.

Nutrition coaching can help anyone lose weight and stay healthy 

If you’re trying to lose weight but are unable to do so, or if the weight just comes right back, nutrition coaching can help you reach your weight loss goals.

Furthermore, losing weight can help you prevent developing a variety of chronic, obesity-related health conditions, such as heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, and stroke. No matter the reason you may be struggling to lose weight, we can help you get it off and keep it off for good.
