Heather DanielsRegistered Dietitian · More about meWeight Loss Medications
If you are taking a weight loss medication such as Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro as part of your weight loss journey, I offer personalised support to help you feel confident and well-nourished throughout your treatment. As appetite and food intake can change, it is important to ensure your diet continues to provide the essential nutrients your body needs. I will help you maintain a balanced, varied and nutritionally adequate diet, with practical guidance tailored to your individual needs, preferences and lifestyle. My aim is to support you throughout your journey while helping you build healthy, sustainable habits that can continue beyond your treatment.
What happens during a consultation?
Assessing where you are
In the initial consultation, I will conduct a thorough assessment of your current eating habits, lifestyle, and medical history to understand your unique needs and challenges.
Planning
I can help you understand how to create a balanced diet as well as portion control techniques to create a calorie deficit for weight loss all while ensuring that your diet contains all the nutrients that you require for optimum health.
Setting goals
We will work together to set realistic and achievable weight loss goals, which are diet and/or lifestyle-related. This may also include identifying and modifying behaviours that may contribute to weight gain, such as emotional eating or sedentary habits.
Check your BMI
See whether your weight is in a healthy range for your height. Nothing you type is saved or sent anywhere.
Your BMI
BMI cannot tell muscle from fat. A waist under half your height is also a good sign.
Your BMI is below the healthy range. If you are worried about your weight or your eating, your GP is a good first step.
Your weight is in a healthy range. If you would like help keeping it there, or with your blood sugar or cholesterol, I can help.

Thanks again for the supportive and informative review session on Sunday. I find it very helpful to get encouragement and 'behavioural nudge' to eat well and always come away from our sessions feeling much more positive.

I have been tracking my food and exercise since we met. There are times when there is a lot of temptation etc. and I am finding the power to have a little and then stop and then make healthier choices. I haven't had much time to cook a but I think I'm making better choices when I eat out. I've lost a kilo since we met in a way that hasn't felt restrictive and so I am really happy.

Heather has shown great sensitivity and given lovely advice, that relates nicely both to my being a diabetic and in due consideration of other medical concerns, which are rather pressing at the current moment, all which she tuned into exceptionally well. It is nice to see someone showing such respect together with appropriate professional and medical knowledge/expertise.

I run my own business, so my time is limited. I was recommended to Heather because after an initial face-to-face consultation we were able to switch to online which suited me perfectly. In my business it is so easy to stay at work late and eat rubbish, but working with Heather has meant that I not only have a proper diet regime, but she keeps me on track when I am under pressure at work. So I never slip of the wagon. I would recommend her to anyone with a busy lifestyle that cannot get to see her in person.
James 
I would highly recommend Heather and Expert Diet Advice. I have had a weight problem all of my life and tried every diet club, read every book and tried every diet plan. Some worked others didn't, but none of them gave me the long term lifestyle change that I needed. With Heather everything has changed because I not only lost the weight I wanted, but I have kept it off with ongoing consultations. She understands my personal challenges and has given me a solution that works!

FAQ
Can you help if I’m taking Mounjaro, Wegovy or Ozempic?

Why see a Dietitian rather than a Nutritionist?
Dietitians are the only nutrition professionals to be regulated by law, and are governed by an ethical code to ensure that they always work to the highest standard. Dietitians advise and influence food and health policy across the spectrum from government, to local communities and individuals.
Their title is protected by law and only those registered with the statutory regulator, the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) can use the title of Dietitian/Registered Dietitian (RD).
Nutritionists are qualified to provide information about food and healthy eating, but not about special diets for medical conditions.
Which specific conditions can you advise me on?
I can advise you on the following conditions:
- Pre-Diabetes
- Type 2 Diabetes
- Weight loss/maintenance
- High cholesterol
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Do you offer virtual appointments?
Yes – all appointments can be face-to-face, via telephone or Zoom. These appointments are interchangeable, so you are welcome to choose the method of communication each time.
How often will I need to see you?
There is no commitment to follow up appointments and no ‘tie-in’ packages. I believe that regular follow-up appointments are helpful in keeping up motivation and sticking to the suggested changes, especially in the early stages. However, this can be adjusted to the level of support that you feel you require. This may mean that follow-up appointments are frequent initially and become more spread out as you feel more confident with the changes made.
Do you provide meal plans?
I do not provide STRICT meal plans. The aim of the consultations is to educate you about the best foods for you (depending on any medical conditions), as well as the portion sizes of these foods. Strict meal plans do not do this – they simply tell you what to eat. From my experience, most people find these quite tedious after a while (even if they are enthusiastic at the start!) and go back to their previous way of eating. Making gradual changes to your current has a much more sustainable effect. However, for those who do like to have a little more structure, I do offer meal and snack options, which are interchangeable and offer the flexibility required for long-term change.
