About
Arlene Normand, the Rose Bay based dietitian/nutritionist, has built a strong business over ten years dealing with thousands of clients from all walks of life with a common goal – to lose and maintain weight loss. She specialises in assisting people who suffer with obesity, overweight problems, blood lipids (cholesterol, triglycerides), diabetes, gastrointestinal problems, and all food related issues and teaches good lifestyle eating and exercise patterns to both adults and children. 'Most of the health problems I see – like high blood pressure – are linked to obesity, so getting the weight off and increasing the levels of activity are really important.
' One thing I've done with my clients is get them interested in exercise and being active. You don't need to buy expensive equipment – just walk out the front door.
Approach: No-nonsense, tough-love approach; practical and lifestyle-focused; holistic (body, mind, heart, soul); motivational around exercise as well as diet
Weight Loss Approach
Practical lifestyle plan (not a fad diet); focuses on portion control, stopping kilojoule counting, enjoying favourite foods in moderation, embracing healthy active lifestyle, balancing body/mind/heart/soul. Tough-love, no-nonsense approach. Incorporates exercise motivation alongside dietary advice.
