The Total LIFE Diet ®


The Background

After having analysed and studied thousands of research studies and articles in nutrition, medical and scientific journals and having seen thousands of patients and clients in the public hospital system and in private practice, I have developed The Total LIFE Diet - The Clinically Proven, Easy, Healthy & Delicious Diet.

This diet and lifestyle program has produced extraordinary results with clients – and so the entire program has been published in the book - The Omega-3 Diet Revolution: The Ultimate Health & Weight Loss Solution.

The program draws in particular from the principles of the amazing Lyon Diet Heart Study which used a modified Cretan Mediterranean diet, the wonderful GISSI trial conducted in Italy, The Oslo Diet and Exercise Study conducted in Norway and The DASH Study conducted in The United States. The program also uses guidelines from The American Heart Association.

This is a simple, tasty, enjoyable diet and lifestyle program that can make you healthier, happier, slimmer and smarter - and literally save your life!

You can follow The Total LIFE Diet in many ways:

  • Individual Consultations

  • The Group Programs - in the Community

  • The Corporate Programs - conducted within your own organisation

  • The Omega-3 Diet Revolution: The Ultimate Health & Weight Loss Solution Book – print book & eBook

  • More Books to follow

Why should you follow this program?

  • It is a clinically proven program based on major international studies and case studies from my clinical practice.

  • The program has already produced EXTRAORDINARY RESULTS - so if you follow it – it is virtually guaranteed that you will also get excellent results.

  • This is a SAFE, reliable program providing information that you can TRUST.

  • Medicare and Private Health Fund rebates are available.

  • You will learn the TRUTH about Nutrition. When there is so much conflicting, confusing, misleading and sometimes dangerous information out there, shouldn't you go to the experts? Dietitians are university qualified, dedicated health professionals who specialise in nutrition, weight management and the diet-disease relationship.

  • Everyone who attends an individual consultation or completes the group program will receive a FREE copy of the book - The Omega-3 Life Program valued at $30.95. This is the first Australian book on Omega-3s.

  • FREE up-to-date nutrition, lifestyle and motivational educational material are also provided as part of the program.

  • This is an easy diet that tastes great!

  • You won't be hungry or feel deprived.

  • This is the FIRST and ONLY PROGRAM that shows people how to incorporate omega-3s into an easy, healthy, tasty and balanced diet – and get REAL RESULTS.

  • You will be provided with real SUPPORT including “weigh-ins” in-between appointments.

  • The Total LIFE Diet is not just a weight loss program. It is a HEALTH program. It is both for people who need to lose weight and for those who don't need to lose weight. So here is a health and weight management program that can be followed by about 95% of the adult population.

  • This is no FAD diet. This is a healthy lifestyle. It includes four different phases – so that you can follow this program for the rest of your long, healthy and happy life.

  • This is a TOTAL Nutrition, Health & Lifestyle Program – that is truly LIFE-CHANGING.

    NEW!
    Change Your Life in 6 Weeks - Group Program

The Group Program is an exciting part of The Total LIFE Diet and has been planned very carefully to ensure that you get RESULTS. It is suitable for most people – except for a few groups like pregnant women and vegetarians who need to be seen individually.

Not everyone who has pre-diabetes, diabetes, high blood cholesterol levels and other conditions is overweight. If you are in this situation, you need an effective program that will give you real health benefits while maintaining your weight. My program caters to everyone with its 4-phase approach – a unique design - with varying phases for gradual weight loss, rapid weight loss and weight maintenance.

This is a very comprehensive 6-part program that runs for 6 weeks and covers everything that a person needs to know about good nutrition and weight management. At the end of the program, you will be empowered to continue living a healthy life – and continue losing weight - if you need to.

Individualised care and attention will be provided within the group program.

Benefits of Group Education Sessions

While some people may prefer individual consultations, there are many benefits to be gained from attending group education sessions. Some of these include enjoying the camaraderie of others and the increased motivation that comes from being part of a group. Other benefits include being able to learn from others and realising that you are not alone in your endeavours to achieve your goals – most people are just like you. Another bonus is that group education sessions cost less than individual consultations.

How the program will be conducted

  • It is a 6-part program that will be run weekly for 6 weeks.

  • The program has been designed to be informal, interactive and very practical.

  • Each group can have any number of people – any number - from 4 to 15 people.

  • If anyone requires additional support, weigh-ins or individual consultations can be provided after the group program is completed.

  • If you wish to organise a group with your friends or colleagues, the group program can be conducted at other locations around Sydney with at least 5 people.

Individual Consultations

Individual consultations are an important part of this organisation. They are thorough – with your entire diet history, medical history and social history taken into account. You will be provided with all the advice, education, motivation, inspiration and resources to put into practice this simple, yet exceptionally effective health program, which is individualised to meet your own unique needs. If you want to lose weight, you can follow the weight loss phases of The Total LIFE Diet.

If you have been referred by a doctor, specialist or health professional, a report of your progress will be sent to them. Medicare rebates are available. However, you do not need a doctor's referral. Anyone can ring to make an appointment. Private health fund rebates are also available.

Everyone is welcome. Clients range from 10 years to 96 years of age – from all backgrounds - and with diverse eating habits and lifestyles. You will be treated as a special person and very good care will be taken of you. Your eating habits and lifestyle including your particular food likes and dislikes are always taken into consideration.

Consultations are provided for most situations except for food allergies and anorexia nervosa. Please ring on (02) 9743 1898 to clarify your situation as this practice deals with many conditions such lactose intolerance and reflux (which are not food allergies).

Clients come from all around Sydney, New South Wales, interstate and overseas.

Corporate Program

The corporate programs have been developed to help organisations maximise productivity by empowering staff to become healthier and happier, reducing sick days, increasing energy levels, improving memory and mental sharpness and helping people to feel good.

Your organisation has several choices within the corporate program:

1. A Healthy Life Seminar (that runs for 1 hour).

2. A 2-part Group Program (which can be conducted during the lunch break).

3. A very comprehensive 6-part Group Program (This program is similar to the Group Program in the community described above – and it can also be conducted during the lunch break).

The programs are run in your own workplace. Sessions are relaxed, informal, practical and inter-active. Up to date nutrition education material is provided.

Sessions can also be tailored to suit your staff and your organisation's needs.
