Frequently Asked Questions
🌿Will I lose weight with GI Nutrition’s coaching programmes?
1:1 coaching is tailored to meet your goals and nutritional needs. It can be designed to support gradual, sustainable weight loss if that is one of your goals, whilst prioritising balanced nutrition, energy, and food freedom. No crash diets here – just smart, supportive strategies that actually fit your lifestyle.
🌿Do I have to track my calories?
No. Calorie tracking is optional. You’ll learn how to create balanced meals using portion guides, hunger cues, and real-world examples, so you don’t have to rely on numbers forever.
However, briefly tracking at the start can be a valuable learning tool. It helps you understand portion sizes, calorie awareness, and the nutritional value of food and help you reach your goal of weight loss slightly quicker. The end goal is to intuitively eat without tracking.
🌿Do I need a meal tracking app to track my food?
Not necessarily. Some clients enjoy tracking apps like MyFitnessPal for awareness, but others prefer simpler methods – such as photo logs, written reflections, or the balanced plate method. GI Nutrition focuses on flexibility, not perfection. I’ll help you find a method that feels natural and sustainable for you.
🌿What happens if I want to continue my journey with GI Nutrition the 8 week programme?
You absolutely can! Many clients choose to continue with ongoing or maintenance coaching after their initial 8 weeks. This allows you to keep progressing, stay accountable, and receive continued support as your goals and confidence evolve.
🌿Can I work with GI Nutrition if I have medical conditions or eating disorders?
If you have a serious or diagnosed medical condition, GI Nutrition may not be the right fit. It’s always advised that you speak with your doctor first and get medical clearance before starting any nutrition or coaching programme.
GI Nutrition does not provide clinical treatment for eating disorders or complex medical conditions. However, if you’re managing general lifestyle-related concerns (like low energy) and have been cleared by your GP, I can help you create a safe, supportive plan to build healthier habits.
🌿Does GI Nutrition offer advice around exercising?
Yes . While my main focus is nutrition, I do offer general guidance on movement and exercise to complement your eating plan. If you have specific training or performance goals, we can help align your nutrition to support energy, recovery, and results.
🌿Is GI Nutrition insured and a registered company?
Yes! GI Nutrition is a fully registered and insured business. All coaching is delivered by a qualified, accredited professional who follows evidence-based, ethical practice standards, so you’re in safe hands.
