Hello! Thanks so much for the question. Science has revealed that our bodies fight really hard against losing weight. So, when I work with clients, we dont focus specifically on weight loss. We discuss what you hope to gain by losing weightis it to have more energy and endurance, is it to feel better in your body, or is it to help with managing an illness? We dont know for sure if the positive health outcomes are from losing the weight, or from the positive behavior changes we make when trying to lose weight. So, with ALL of that being said, haha, there is not 1 diet that is more effective for weight loss. Nutrition is highly individualized and must be approached in that way.

Dieting or restricting eating actually leads to more weight gain in the long run. Developing good eating habits that are rich in fruits vegetables and whole grains, as well as, increasing activity usually leads to weight loss. A Mediterranean style of eating encourages this and decreases many health risks.
