How to use a non-diet approach in your practice Zoe Nicholson, APD, AN
In a world that is conditioned to believe that thin is good and fat is bad, our clients are more obsessed with weight loss than ever before. But most people who lose weight regain it, with 66% ending up heavier. So, is it even ethical to recommend weight loss to clients?
Zoe is the founder and senior dietitian at Love What You Eat – More Than Nutrition, which specialises in The Non-Diet Approach & Intuitive Eating. In 2014 she co-founded The Moderation Movement, established to counter the ever increasing hype, extremism and punishment concept around eating and exercise. Zoe shows us how to apply the NDA by using compassion and empathy to teach clients to listen to and trust what their bodies tell them, and help them build a calm and positive relationship with food and body.
