How the STABLE approach works
1. Understand what’s driving things
We start by looking at your eating patterns, appetite, lifestyle and health, including relevant
medical conditions, medications and blood results where appropriate.
If you’re managing raised cholesterol or blood glucose, high blood pressure or another health condition, we take these into account. We can also consider your changing nutrition needs and longer-term health as you get older, including where family history of conditions
such as heart disease or type 2 diabetes is important to you.
This helps us support your weight goals alongside your current and longer-term health.
2. Build strong nutrition foundations
We focus on the nutrition skills most relevant to you. This often starts with building meals that keep you comfortably satisfied, support steadier energy and help you work towards your weight and metabolic health goals.
Where there are specific health concerns or longer-term health priorities, we can adapt your nutrition to support these too — without making eating feel unnecessarily complicated.
3. Make it work everyday
We make those changes practical for your life — whether that means busy days, shopping and meal planning, eating away from home, holidays or times when your usual routine changes.
Rather than changing everything at once, we focus on what is likely to make the most meaningful difference and build from there.
4. Understand your appetite and eating pattern
You’ll develop a better understanding of your own hunger, appetite and eating patterns.
Where relevant, we can explore cravings, emotional eating or situations where you find yourself eating for reasons other than physical hunger — helping you recognise what’s happening and develop a wider range of ways to respond.
5. Build confidence to adapt
The aim is not to make you dependent on a plan — or on me.
As your understanding and skills develop, we work towards you being able to make confident decisions, adapt when circumstances change and know what to come back to when things don’t go to plan.
STABLE gives our work together structure without making it rigid. There are core nutrition and practical skills that are helpful for most women, but where we start and what we focus on will depend on you.
