Diana takes a practical and realistic approach to nutrition. Food is not just about nutrients and calories. We eat for pleasure, taste, social occasions and many of us have traditions around food. Diana will work with people on realistic and achievable personal health goals. It is not a one-size-fits-all approach and there are no quick fixes either. Diana emphasises the importance of small, gradual changes that eventually lead to long term improved health. Advice is tailored individually taking into consideration age, lifestyle, home/work environment, physical activity, budget, motivation, realistic goals, cooking skills and food knowledge.
