The Dieting Paradox:How trying to lose weight can harm your health
Dieting involves restricting food intake and often eliminating certain foods or food groups altogether. While this may seem like a simple and effective way to lose weight, it can be harmful to both our physical and mental health. On a previous post, we looked at fad diets and how to identify them. In this blog, we will explore the dangers of dieting and why you shouldn’t take the seemingly easier route. Nutrient Deficiencies When dieting, our bodies may not receive all the necessary nutrients they needs to function properly. Restricting certain foods, food groups and calories, can lead to nutrient deficiencies, which result in a myriad of health problems. For example, a low-fat diet can cause a deficiency in essential fatty acids, leading to dry skin and hair. In addition, if a diet too low in calories, it will lead to a state of negative energy balance. This results in a range of adverse health outcomes, such as impaired immune function, hormonal imbalances, decreased muscle mass, and increased risk of chronic diseases. Slowed Metabolism. Studies have shown that dieting slows down metabolism, which is the rate at which our bodies burns calories. When the body is deprived of food, it goes into survival mode and starts conserving energy. This means we burns fewer calories even at rest and makes it harder to lose excess weight and easier to gain it all back once the diet is over. Eating Disorders Dieting can also lead to the development of eating disorders, such as anorexia and bulimia. These disorders can have serious long-term health consequences and can be difficult to treat. Additionally, even if a person doesn't develop a full-blown eating disorder, dieting can still contribute to disordered eating patterns, such as binge eating and yo-yo dieting. Mental Health Issues Dieting can have a negative impact on our mental health. We may start to feel guilt, shame, and failure if our weight loss goals are not met. This can also contribute to anxiety and depression, which can further exacerbate unhealthy eating patterns. So, let's skip the guilt trip and focus on a positive approach to losing weight. Unsustainable Lifestyle Changes Finally, dieting can lead to unsustainable lifestyle changes. While it may be possible to lose weight in the short term, many diets are not sustainable in the long term. This means that once the diet is over, it is usually easy for us to fall back into old eating habits and gain back any lost weight. This can lead to a cycle of yo-yo dieting, which as we have seen, can be harmful to both physical and mental health. In conclusion Dieting can be dangerous when trying to lose weight, but that doesn’t mean all hope is lost. With a little bit of professional help and a positive attitude, we can tackle our weight loss goals without resorting to dangerous dieting methods. Let's focus on making sustainable lifestyle changes that promote a healthy, happy, and vibrant life

Maintaining Your Weight Loss After A Bariatric Procedure
Through bariatric procedures, we are able to put our bodies into a calorie deficit by limiting how much food we take in. However, this does not control WHAT we eat and other psychological and external factors that affect the rate or maintenance of the weight lost.Eventually, the body adjusts and starts taking in just a little more despite the gastric balloon or bariatric surgery. This may lead to stagnation in weight loss or even weight regain. So, where does that leave us? The key to maintaining weight loss in the long term is by adopting new and healthy lifestyle changes to accompany your bariatric procedure. This is because old habits got you to where you are and the only way to make sustainable change is by identifying these habits and working towards changing them. Here are a few pointers on how you can begin: 1. Join our group psychotherapy for correction of eating habits program. This is where we explore psychological factors that negatively affect your weight loss through online group sessions with our doctor, Dr Shchukina, learn calorie counting and audio sessions to reinforce what is learnt in the weekly sessions. This program goes on for 4 months that is renewable upon completion 2. Join a support group or have people you can be accountable to in your journey. With this you can encourage one another and give little hacks that have helped as you lose weight and maintain it. You could also ask your family to help out or join you so it is a health change for not just you but them as well. 3. Start engaging in regular physical activity as simple as walking 3-4 times a week. It not only helps in your goal but is also very beneficial for your overall health and fitness.4. Develop a routine. Old habits die hard and it feels safe and easy to go back to things that you are used to. To see a change you must develop new habits and routines that align with your goal. It will not be easy in the beginning but you will slowly get used to it and it will be worth it.5. Do not rush your journey or compare yourself with others. Do everything at your pace as long as you stick to the good habits and you will eventually get the result you want to.6. When serving food, opt for the side plate rather than the bigger regular sized plate. Same applies for cups except when it comes to water which you should take as regularly as possible throughout the day. Chew your food slowly and connect your mind to your stomach so you know to stop just before you feel full to avoid overeating Take Away As always, this should be a fun journey for you. It will be different for everyone, so make sure to enjoy your unique journey to your new body and better health.

I Have Gone Through a Weight Loss Procedure, Now What?
“What if it doesn’t work?” “What if I don’t lose as much as I want to” and the scariest of them all, “What if I end up gaining back all the weight I lost?” These are some of the most frequent questions raised after any weight loss procedure. Experiencing worry is a normal part of the process, but I have found out that the only way to beat this is to take charge. Any weight loss procedure is only but a tool to help you on your weight loss journey but in order to achieve long term success, you have to show up for yourself daily and work towards building sustainable, healthy eating habits that contribute to your overall lifestyle change. First things first, your relationship with food is the baseline for everything. Simply knowing the rules of healthy eating doesn’t automatically result in you following them. To start off, you need to evaluate what factors whether conscious or subconscious drive your eating habits and how to manage them. How many times have you eaten as a response to anything other than actual physical hunger? Does eating certain foods result in feelings of guilt and shame? It is important to work on unlearning your current habits while simultaneously learning sustainable behaviours that help you not only to lose weight but keep it off. See our programme; psychological correction of eating habits for more information on this. Work on changing your dietary pattern. Research has shown that moving the focus from one specific nutrient to your overall dietary pattern has better health and weight management outcomes. A dietary pattern focuses on the variety, quantity, combination, quality and frequency of every food and beverage you consume. Instead of stressing about cutting out certain foods that are labeled as “bad” redirect all that energy into including foods of a healthy variety into your diet. This looks like having a larger serving of salad or kachumbari on the side with your fries, having more fruits rather than processed juice or soda or enjoying some grilled chicken instead of deep fried drumsticks. Include physical activity in your routine and be intentional about it. Most people think that the only form of physical activity that counts is going to the gym but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Brisk walking, swimming, home workouts, dancing or even taking the stairs goes a long way. It is recommended that you do at least 30 -45 minutes of exercise every day at least 4 times a week. Choosing something you enjoy and changing it up every once in a while, will help you stick with it long term. Trust the process. Yes, I am well aware this is the most cliché advice ever given but in this case, it is also the most valuable. You didn’t gain all the extra weight in a month and you are not going to lose it all that fast. Be kind to yourself and allow yourself time to work on changing your lifestyle and incorporating better eating habits. You will make mistakes through this journey, but that doesn’t mean all the effort you have been putting in has gone to waste. What matters is that at the end of the day, you are able to recognize the mistake, acknowledge where you went wrong and get right back on track. Take Away: Losing weight is only half the battle; Maintaining the loss is the ultimate flex.

Bowel Irrigation
Mr. Joseph K.
I have struggled with digestion problems for very many years and recently, it reached an all-time high when I didn’t go to the toilet for almost 1 week. My friends recommended I do a detox with Holistic Living so I thought why not? Right after the procedure, I felt absolutely amazing! That evening, I went out to dance and have not felt so light in a very very long time. I go through the procedure a few times a month. I feel fabulous!
