The WeightLoss Nutritionist Bio:
Steve Smallwood, ANutr
With more than 30 years of involvement in weight management interventions, master's degrees in both Weight Management and Human Nutrition, as well as published research in the Journal of the American Medical Association, I thought I had weight loss figured out.
However, following a head-on collision with a car on a cycling training ride, extensive injuries, multiple fractures and weight gain turned the tables. Trying to get back to my previous weight, I discovered how problematic sustaining a calorie deficit can be. The theory didn’t appear to match my experience. Persistent hunger, in particular, was unexpected and likely the primary culprit undermining my weight loss attempts.
This led me to spend many months reviewing hunger and how it could be managed by dietary means. The evidence base that evolved developed into an eating regime designed to mitigate the increase in hunger that dieting tends to trigger.
When put to the test, this easy-to-implement, hunger-reducing diet produced steady, continuous weight loss and reduced my body weight to its lowest in adulthood, a level that has been sustained since.
It convinced me that the most sustainable way to reduce energy intake is to feel less hungry, and that the right food choices makes this a lot easier.
Today I help clients put this into practice through personalised dietary analysis, a tailored plan and ongoing support.
Losing weight does not mean food deprivation and hunger.
