Our Approach To Weight Loss

 
 
 

At Bamboo Nutrition, we take a unique approach to weight loss than most places. We understand that weight loss may be your primary concern and main reason for reaching out to us. If it is important to you, it is important to us. However, how we go about counseling our clients on weight loss is a more holistic approach.

What we will not do…

  • Provide non-evidenced-based recommendations

  • Provide “quick fix” meal plans

  • Provide restrictive meal plans or low-calorie diets

  • Recommend diet supplements, shakes, or programs

  • Recommend fasting, keto, weight-watchers, or any other fad-diet program

what we will do…

  • Take a therapeutic approach to understand your food rules, beliefs, and how these were developed

  • Take the time to understand what type of relationship YOU want with food

  • Learn about your daily struggles, thoughts and challenges with food and body image

  • Work with your current treatment team to provide you with the best whole-body care

  • Provide you with education around nutrition, metabolic biomarkers for health, and skills for meal planning, grocery shopping, and identifying diet culture

  • Care about you, your goals, and your relationship with food and your body

Our philosophies

Our dietitians take more time than most with our clients. We would consider ourselves non-weight biased healthcare workers who recognize health is not based on a number, but many other factors that contribute to your mental well-being and long-term physical health.

If you are looking to move beyond food rules, diets, hurtful messages around weight and fat-phobic healthcare providers who are just going to tell you “its because of your weight,” then we are the right fit for you. If you so far align with everything you’ve read up until this point, check out our Diet-Culture Dropout page to learn more.

If you are not ready to give up dieting, weighing yourself, measuring food, or tracking calories or points, then we are not the right fit for you.

It’s okay to not know what you want

If you’re finding yourself intrigued by our approach, but still not sure if this is the direction you want to take, I would encourage you to schedule a 20min discovery call with one of our dietitians to learn more.
