Why counting calories does not work
Traditional recommended diets generally do not work, at least not without considerable suffering. These theories ignore the basic homeostasis mechanisms that control the hormones and body set weight.
Traditional diets generally use the following ideas
Eat less and move more (wish it was that simple)
Calories in and calories out need to match (energy in vs energy out)
All calories are equal, whether they be from broccoli or biscuits
If things don’t work it is because of poor will power.
Eating regularly especially breakfast boosts the metabolism.
None of the above are helpful. The fact is not all calories are the same. This is why nearly 60% of Kiwis are either overweight or close to prediabetes. We are in pandemic, this pandemic is driven by marketing and grocery stores which are full of food with poor calories (generally refined sugar) which is causing problems for many of us.
The Diabetes Clinic was established to help people get back on track. The clinic launches an online solution to help keepo the costs of helping to a minimum. This is a serious problem and the Diabetes Clinic Doctors and Health Coaches have the knowledge to reverse weight gain, prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.

Lisa was born in Auckland at the start of the 1970s, living in a small campsite community on the North Shore called Browns Bay. She spent a significant part of her life with her grandparents, often hanging out at the beaches. Lisa has many happy memories from those days at Browns Bay beach, where fish were plentiful on the point and the ocean was rich in seaweed. She played in the water for hours, going home totally “sun-kissed.” “An adorable time to grow up,” Lisa tells me.
Lisa enjoyed many sports; she was a keen tennis player and netballer, playing in the top teams for her age right up until the family moved to Wellington. Lisa was fifteen years old, which unfortunately marked the end of her sporting career. Local teams were well established in Wellington, and her attention was drawn elsewhere.
