It may surprise you to know that many of the men and women who come to our clinics are <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">unaware<\/span> of the risks associated with obesity. When informed they are so grateful they could do something about it before their problems became irreversible.<\/p>\n<p>If you wish to reverse the risks as mentioned above, the good news is something can be done. Losing weight and lowering your <a href=\"https:\/\/121dietitian.com\/shop\/medical-equipment\/tanita-bc-545n-segmental-body-composition-scale-on-screen-readings-per-body-part-10-measurements-silver\/\">BMI<\/a> (body mass index) to normal or lower levels, or with a 5-10% reduction in weight as a starting point will significantly reduce your likelihood of developing these potentially serious medical conditions. Significant weight loss can resolve many pre-existing conditions associated with obesity.<\/p>\n<p>Of course there are also many, many psychological benefits in losing excess weight. People become more confident, feel less isolated, feel more attractive and feel more assertive as well as the obvious benefits associated with feeling healthy like a new wardrobe!<\/p>\n<p><img

Gillian was very understanding and approachable throughout my time spent with her. Gillian discussed my health, lifestyle and eating habits thoroughly.  She advised an individualised blood check for underlying issues, educated me on supplements and provided numerous information to help aid my recovery.\nThe low foodmap programme I have been following is achievable and can be adapted to anyones lifestyle. As I am a vegetarian I thought this process may be difficult however Gillian reassured me that this would be no issue. She supplied personalised shopping lists, recipes and alternative foods to help heal my gut and overall health.\nContinual support from Gillian was on hand via email when required.\n\nI seen improvements in my symptoms within only weeks of starting the programme and was overwhelmed by the success due to suffering for years!\nI have been spreading the word about Gillian's brilliant work and will continue to do so!

unable to find the right specific help. I was introduced to 121 Dietician about 6 weeks ago and like all other services out there I was sceptical. First up was a consultation online which was great considering the many issues I was having going to places. Gillian listened very attentively and understood the many problems I was having.\n\nGillian decided to introduce me to the Low FODMAP diet. Starting out she provided everything (information, shopping lists, recipes etc) to get started. Through the course of the first 6 weeks Gillian was available to answer any questions or concerns.\n\nFollowing the first 6 weeks I'm very happy to say that all the many problems associated with IBS have gone and I'm starting to live a normal life without any stage fright when out and about.\n\nThe next 8 weeks will be the reintroduction stage but based on the knowledge from Gillian in the initial stage I'm very confident that at the end I will have full understanding of all my triggers.\n\nI can't recommend this service enough as most importantly after 30 years of severe symptoms I once again feel healthy and happy. This is a must if you suffer continually from this horrendous condition. I would be confident that this will help anyone who has IBS.\n\nFor me this was the best money ever spent and I can't thank Gillian enough for the difference she has made.\n\nRoy Dornan<!-- R-CONTENT

Here, we get clear on the obesity statistics and share how 121 Dietitian has been successfully helping patients to lose weight for good. A person with obesity (BMI &#8211; Body Mass Index of 30 and above) is: 6 times more likely to develop high blood pressure 4 times more likely to develop diabetes 2 times more likely to develop arthritis 6 times more likely to suffer gall bladder disease More likely to be infertile More likely to suffer from back and joint problems More likely to have problems with asthma exacerbated Increased risk of suffering depression More likely to suffer sleep problems such as sleep apnoea Increased risk of heart problems and stroke And have a shortened lifespan (1 in every 11 deaths in the UK is linked to obesity related problems) More likely to have nutritional deficiencies Reverse these obesity statistics This is not a scare tactic message, but rather, we feel, an important message to highlight the negative health implications associated with obesity that we treat every day. It may surprise you to know that many of the men and women who come to our clinics are unaware of the risks associated with obesity. When informed they are so grateful they could do something about it before their problems became irreversible. If you wish to reverse the risks as mentioned above, the good news is something can be done. Losing weight and lowering your BMI (body mass index) to normal or lower levels, or with a 5-10% reduction in weight as a starting point will significantly reduce your likelihood of developing these potentially serious medical conditions. Significant weight loss can resolve many pre-existing conditions associated with obesity. Of course there are also many, many psychological benefits in losing excess weight. People become more confident, feel less isolated, feel more attractive and feel more assertive as well as the obvious benefits associated with feeling healthy like a new wardrobe!
