Personal Nutrition

Frequently asked questions

How much do you charge?

All of our charges are listed on the ‘Consultations’ section of the personal nutrition or sports nutrition pages.

Will you always suggest a follow up consultation?

The follow up consultation is there to allow you to come back to Aquila only if you feel you need to. We do not work on the principle of recommending repeat consultations to keep you coming back but we are there to help if you need us.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

It depends on your personal goals. You can expect to lose between 0.5lb to 1lb per week sustained weight loss which is a permanent loss and is of fat only. Diets that promise a quicker weight loss include losing water and muscle and are not sustainable.

Can you help me gain more energy?

By eating the right types of food you will find your energy levels will increase naturally. You will also find you will be able to sleep better and are less prone to colds and headaches.

Will my weekly food shopping bill increase?

Making sure the food we recommend is within your budget is key to making these changes as realistic as possible. It is pointless suggesting that you buy expensive foods if you cannot afford it. We will work with your budget to get you the best food for your money.

Will you make me give up everything I love, like chocolate?

Certainly not, life wouldn’t be worth living would it! Everything in moderation is fine - remember, we are making permanent changes to your diet. You cannot cut out something you love for the rest of your life but you can adapt your eating to compensate for the odd indulgence.

My family will never change what they eat - what hope is there for me?

Education is key here. You have to take what you learn at the consultation session and teach your own family. You will learn the consequences of continuing to eat as you are for yourself and your family. We only suggest good, hearty food that people will love to eat. Check out the chicken burger recipe on the main page - I’m willing to bet your family would eat that!

Will you make me go to the gym?

Absolutely not. There are thousands of ways to get more activity into your life than going to a gym. We just have to find out which way will work for you.

Will you be there to answer questions after the consultation?

After your consultation you receive 30 days email and telephone support - we endeavor to answer your questions within 24 hours.

What will you do with my information after the consultation process?

We will store your personal details for our own use but we will never give these out to anyone else.

If you have any other questions please contact us.
