Healthy Eating Simplified: Top Nutritional Tips from Doctors for Lasting Weight Loss

Let’s face it—there’s a lot of confusing diet advice out there. Low carb? Low fat? No sugar? At Ready Health Private Medical Clinic in Standish, we believe healthy eating shouldn’t be complicated.

Here are our top, doctor-approved nutrition tips to support lasting weight loss—no fads, no gimmicks, just real food and practical advice.

1. Eat More Whole Foods

Focus on foods that are as close to their natural state as possible. Think:

• Fresh fruits and vegetables
• Whole grains like brown rice and oats
• Lean proteins such as chicken, fish, eggs, and beans

These keep you full longer and support your metabolism.

2. Don't Skip Meals

Skipping meals can backfire by slowing your metabolism and increasing cravings later on. Aim for three balanced meals a day with healthy snacks if needed.

3. Watch Your Portions

Even healthy foods can add up. Use smaller plates, stop eating when you're satisfied (not stuffed), and be mindful of how much you’re serving.

4. Hydrate Often

Sometimes we mistake thirst for hunger. Keep a bottle of water nearby and aim for around 6–8 glasses a day.

5. Limit Ultra-Processed Foods

These are usually high in calories and low in nutrients. Cut back on things like ready meals, crisps, and sugary drinks.

6. Plan Ahead

Meal planning helps you make better choices and saves money. Cook in batches when you can and keep healthy snacks on hand.

7. Don’t Fear Carbs—Just Choose the Right Ones

Whole carbs like sweet potatoes, quinoa, and wholegrain bread give you energy and fibre. Avoid heavily refined carbs like white bread and sugary cereals.
