Professional Advice for Healthy Fat Loss and Wellness
- by Jennifer Weekes, Bribie Natural Health Clinic
Experienced Naturopath and nutritionist Jennifer Weekes offers the Bribie Community the right advice for healthy fat loss. Ms Weekes claims there are no magic bullets, and although meal replacement formlas will help with losing inches, they are not a long term solution. “It is important to give people the right dietary advice to make wise food choices for life. People need to understand that when they lose weight quickly it isn’t all fat loss but a large percentage of muscle and water. That is why the weight returns rapidly when they return to normal food. We never lose the fat cells we initially gain, and fat loss refers to fat cell shrinkage. That is why it is important to increase resistence exercising on a regular basis to build up more lean muscle and increase resting metabolism. Muscle weighs more than fat so it is important to focus on fat and inches rather than kilos.”
Ms Weekes uses bio-impedence testing known as VLA, a program that monitors the fat to muscle ratio as well as cellular health. She also uses Hemaview blood analysis and Traditional Chinese Health assessment as part of her comprehensive wellness assessment. Hi Caps rebates apply to most private health funds.
