A nutritionist in London?

Fast food is easy and cheap but full of sugar and fat.
Try buying a rice cooker and sticking to simple to cook home food.
You'll find local supermarkets have prepacked mixed veg in single portion packs that are ideal for stir fry.
Your food budget will drop like a stone and so will your weight.
Also - forget soft drinks in favour of water from the fridge.
Cold water is refreshing, extremely cheap and has no sugar content.

I am unsure why you need a nutritionist in order to eat healthily.  You would just be throwing money away, as there is so much information out there.

We bought a thing called a Nutribullet, which throughly pulverises fresh fruit and vegetables.  The results really seem to fill you up, so you really don't feel like eating anything else.   Soup also has the same effect and you can make it very cheaply with all sorts of fresh ingredients.   

Get you vegetables from greengrocers, or markets, rather than supermarkets.  Places such as Borough Market are great for organic foods.

Not many people are completely happy with their relationship with food – honestly we have all at some point have over overeaten, or made unhealthy choices or comfort ate, etc....

In you message you mentioned money and health, but is there anything that you are not noticing the you need to pay attention to?

I am not an expert in nutrition, but as an expat coach, I have come across many people that struggle with their relationship with food when they have relocated to a different country, for many and diverse reasons, so I wonder if the direction that you are, is the one you have chosen to be.

I know a brilliant nutritionist (a very sensible person and a brilliant gp doctor). Dr. Alan Stewart he has a clinic  in Weymouth st, London

Hope it helps. ]

Thank you for all your replies and thank you for your nutritionist recommendation Igayoso.
I finally found one on Findoc and I thought I should give it a try and lets see if it improves things. If it doesn't, its clearly not what I need, but Id like to see first.
Anyway , thank you so much for your help

I still believe you would be better to save the money you would spend on a nutritionist and use it to buy healthy organic food.  Stop buying take-away food.  Prepare meals at home from fresh ingredients, so you know whats in them.

Avoid pre-packed supermarket meals - they often contain high levels of sugar, additives and fats, as well as increasing the problem caused by waste plastic.

Avoid drinking Coke and similar drinks, due to their very high sugar content - even the 'light' versions fool your body into thinking its taking in sugar, altering your physiology.

A nutritionist could well follow the latest dietary trends and advise accordingly - a few years ago, this was to cut out fat, which was subsequently proven to be potentially harmful.  The latest trend is to cut out sugar and I'd like to bet that this is exactly the advice you will be given. 

Considering the number of healthy recipe books and dietary/nutritional information available on the internet, a nutritionist is simply a waste of money.

By the way, if you engage a nutritionist, make sure you check their qualifications.  The job title 'Nutritionist' doesn't have legal protection, therefore anyone can call themselves a Nutritionist. 

Only the title 'Dietician' has legal protection and a dietician will be state registered, ensuring their professional standards.

Regarding nutritionists:  Only those who have met strict standards of professional education in nutrition are accredited by the Association for Nutrition (AfN) and graduates from these courses have direct entry onto the voluntary register. It is not a legal requirement for a nutritionist to be registered with the UKVRN, which is run by the Association for Nutrition (AfN).

The cost for a consultation can range from £50 to £120, so even more reason to ensure that you see someone qualified.

Hello

I'm thinking of studying nutrition too. I know its hard  but YOUTUBE is a great way to lose weight! Their are a lot of nutritional shakes if you get yourself a blender! Great to find someone  in common. Don't worry about eating unhealthy too much just gradually increase fruit and veg in your diet. I also get my bad days and think, would a future nutritionist really be eating a cheeseburger?

Good luck, I hope we can chat and be friends.

Kind regards

Hmm, my friend had a similar problem. Well, she told me that she changed her habits completely. So... to keep healthy and do not put on the weight she started to have a proper meal for the breakfast. like meat and rise, something like that. At the beginning, it was not that easy for her that much for the breakfast but then it worked. During the day she was trying to eat every 3 hours. Like banana, yoghurt, nuts. She told me that sometimes she took a simple boiled egg or tomato soup in small cafes like take away during the day. In the evening she ate salad without mayo....
She told that she straight away lost weight and there were no problems with skin. Also, drink water! That helps.

Warmer weather coming, you can eat salads, mixed it with some chicken, or fish.....

You can grow some food yourself,

Bean Sprouts

The internet is full of recipes which are easy to follow. Save your money and don't employ someone to tell you how to eat when you can do it for yourself for Free.
