Losing weight is certainly not easy, but with the right approach that suits your body, we ensure that you do lose weight! There are many misconceptions about weight loss. Losing weight is not as simple as it is often described. Eating less and exercising more is not the solution for everyone. Every body works differently and requires its own approach!
There is no one-size-fits-all advice! There can be multiple reasons why you are not or have difficulty losing weight:
Fat is an organ. It is not just a lump of flab. Fat is distributed throughout your entire body. Fat also produces the hormone leptin (which helps you feel full). Leptin also stimulates fat burning.
The location of fat is more important than the amount of fat. Fat around the abdomen is more harmful than fat on the hips, for example. Abdominal fat means there is more fat surrounding your organs. This can impair organ function and may lead to lifestyle-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and various types of cancer.
Excess fat disrupts various functions in the body. It can cause hormones to become imbalanced. One example is type 2 diabetes, where the insulin hormone is disrupted. Fat can also accumulate in dangerous places, such as the liver (e.g. fatty liver disease) or the heart (e.g. heart failure or heart attack).

Veel mensen denken dat snel afvallen een goed idee is om uw irritante vet te verbranden. Maar het werkt op lange termijn averechts!
Er zijn studies waarbij blijkt dat dit soort methodes op lange termijn een groter gevoel van honger geven. U beschadigt uw stofwisseling hiermee waardoor het steeds moeilijker wordt om af te vallen. U ziet in het programma OBESE heel goed dat wanneer men snel afvalt, zij op lange termijn weer aankomen terwijl ze minder eten dan voorheen.
Please note that the BMI calculator does not always provide an accurate overview of your health status.

Having a healthy weight does not necessarily mean you have a healthy lifestyle. Excess abdominal fat causes more harm than fat around the hips or legs. That is why measuring your waist circumference is important.
Healthy circumference:
Women: below 80 cm (above 80 cm is unhealthy)
Men: below 94 cm (above 94 cm is unhealthy)
A dietitian (certified nutrition expert) works with you to understand why you are not losing weight or why it is difficult. He/she will look at your lifestyle, diet, medication, body composition, physical activity, and more. By creating a complete picture, you will discover what the triggers are and what you can do to lose weight responsibly without harming your body. He/she teaches you how to handle challenging situations and provides tips and advice to help you lose weight more easily without putting stress on your body (without disrupting your hormones and metabolism).
We help reset your body, increase your awareness of nutrition, and provide tailored advice that is achievable. All without making you feel like you are ‘on a diet’!
There can be several reasons why losing weight is difficult: an unsuitable diet, night shifts (disrupting your biological clock), stress, lack of sleep, hormonal imbalances, thyroid problems, a disrupted metabolism, genetics, medication (such as insulin or prednisone), crash diets, or issues with motivation.
Not for everyone. Every body works differently and requires its own approach. Sometimes it is lifestyle factors (nutrition, stress, sleep) or hormones that play the decisive role.
Fat is distributed throughout the body and even functions as an organ by producing hormones such as leptin. The location of fat (e.g. around the abdomen versus the hips) is more important than the total amount alone.
Excess body fat can disrupt various functions in the body. It can cause hormonal imbalances and may lead to conditions such as type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular problems.
No, crash diets may lead to short-term weight loss, but they can be counterproductive in the long term. They can disrupt your metabolism, making it harder to lose weight or causing you to regain weight.
The BMI calculator does not always provide an accurate picture of your health. For example, it is less suitable for children, pregnant women, and bodybuilders. It is also important to consider where fat is stored in the body (e.g. waist circumference).
The dietitian works with you to identify why you are or are not losing weight: nutrition, medication, body composition, physical activity, lifestyle, and more. Based on this, they develop a plan tailored to you, without making you feel like you are constantly “on a diet.” The goal is for your body to function optimally again, increase your awareness of nutrition, and provide advice that is realistic and sustainable.
Not necessarily excessively. What matters more is a combination of healthy nutrition, appropriate physical activity, good sleep, stress management, and an approach that suits your body. A dietitian will guide you in what is achievable for you.
Yes, certain medications—such as insulin, prednisone, or some antidepressants—can promote weight gain or make weight loss more difficult. That’s why it’s important to take these factors into account during the analysis.
This strongly depends on your individual situation (body composition, lifestyle, hormones, medication, etc.). A realistic goal is to lose weight in a healthy and sustainable way without harming your body (such as your metabolism or hormones). Quick fixes are often not sustainable. The process is personalized, and a dietitian will discuss with you what is achievable.
