Low Carb Dietitian Newcastle

Newcastle based low carb Dietitian

I am passionate about using low-carb and ketogenic diets to treat a range of health conditions conditions. My family history of Type 2 diabetes led me to explore low-carb approaches, and through research and experience, I’ve seen its powerful impact on improving health. Following a low carb diet myself, I now have steady energy throughout the day, less brain fog, and find myself snacking less. I just feel more focused and clear overall.

What is a Low-Carb Diet?

A low-carb diet focuses on reducing your intake of carbohydrates, which are found in foods like bread, pasta, rice, and sugary snacks. Instead, the diet emphasizes the consumption of proteins, healthy fats, non-starchy vegetables and certain dairy products. The goal is to shift your body from using carbohydrates as its primary fuel source to using fat, leading to a number of health benefits.
