Losing weight for the long term isn’t just about following a diet. Everyone has their own habits, lifestyle, metabolism, and goals. At La Clinique Naturelle, we offer personalized support to help you reach a healthy weight without excessive deprivation or one-size-fits-all solutions. Together, we’ll implement realistic, gradual changes tailored to your daily life to achieve lasting results and improve your health and quality of life.

What areas do you support?

To achieve lasting weight loss, we will work together on four key areas:

  • Diet: establish healthy eating habits adapted to your tastes and needs, without frustrating deprivation.
  • Physical activity: gradually build up a sports routine that suits you best to achieve rapid, lasting results.
  • Stress management: explore techniques for reducing stress, an often overlooked but crucial factor in the success of your career.
  • Food supplements: if necessary, we will consider taking appropriate food supplements to support your body and your overall well-being.

These pillars work in synergy to offer you comprehensive, tailor-made support.

Why is it sometimes hard to lose weight?

Weight loss does not depend solely on willpower or the number of calories consumed. Diet, lifestyle habits, physical activity, sleep, stress, hormonal changes, and certain health conditions can all play a role in weight management. Identifying the factors relevant to your situation allows us to offer more tailored support.

It’s not just a matter of “eating less.” The balance of your meals, how you plan them, portion sizes, snacking, eating habits, and even a series of restrictive diets can all influence weight management. The goal is to find a diet that’s tailored to your needs and realistic enough to maintain over the long term.

migraine

Stress, emotions, or fatigue can alter eating behaviors and, in some people, lead to food cravings or snacking. Insufficient sleep can also affect appetite regulation and make it more difficult to maintain certain lifestyle habits. These factors are therefore taken into account when they are relevant to your situation.

fatigue

Physical activity promotes good health, helps maintain muscle mass, and aids in weight management. However, this doesn't necessarily mean engaging in intense sports: the goal is to find a level of activity that suits your physical condition, your daily routine, and your abilities.

Certain stages of life, particularly perimenopause and menopause, can be accompanied by changes in body composition and fat distribution. Certain conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), can also be associated with difficulties managing weight.

Weight gain or difficulty losing weight can sometimes be linked to a medical condition—particularly an endocrine disorder—or to certain medications . Weight-loss coaching is not a substitute for a medical diagnosis or care. When the situation calls for it, this support is provided in conjunction with a doctor and other healthcare professionals.

That is precisely why the first consultation is dedicated to a comprehensive assessment of your situation. Together, we’ll work to understand the various factors that may influence your weight so that we can develop a support plan tailored to your needs, goals, and lifestyle.

How does weight-loss coaching work?

Coaching takes the form of regular appointments with our nutritionist. While there is a general framework for follow-up, there is no one-size-fits-all program: the content of the consultations and the goals evolve based on your situation, your needs, and your progress.

The first appointment – 1 hour

The first consultation allows us to conduct a comprehensive assessment of your situation and understand the various factors that may influence your weight management.

Depending on your situation, this first appointment may include:

  • a detailed medical history and a physical examination;
  • an analysis of your eating habits;
  • an overview of your physical activity and lifestyle;
  • taking into account sleep, stress, and your daily habits;
  • an analysis of a recent blood test, if available;
  • measurements using an impedance meter;
  • setting your initial goals;
  • the submission of a food diary when it is useful for monitoring.

Following this initial consultation, we work together to identify the first concrete steps to gradually begin the support process.

Follow-up appointments – 30 minutes

Follow-up sessions are generally held every two weeks at the beginning of the counseling process. The frequency may then change depending on your needs.

Each session provides an opportunity to review the changes you've implemented, any challenges you may have encountered, and your progress. Goals and advice are adjusted along the way to ensure that the support remains tailored to your situation.

Depending on your needs, these consultations can help you work on the following, among other things:

  • balanced and well-organized meals;
  • eating habits and behaviors;
  • physical activity;
  • stress, sleep, and certain everyday factors that can affect weight management;
  • monitoring measurements with an impedance meter;
  • the gradual adjustment of objectives;
  • when relevant, the issue of possible supplementation.

Support that grows with you

There is no set number of sessions or identical process for every person. Some changes can be addressed quickly, while others require more time and adjustments.

The coaching process therefore moves forward gradually, taking into account what works for you, the challenges you face, and how your goals evolve.

Between appointments, you can also email the nutritionist who is working with you if you have any questions related to your care.

Why Choose Weight-Loss Coaching at La Clinique Naturelle?

 Realistic goals and long-term support

Our goal is not to help you lose weight as quickly as possible, but to help you achieve lasting balance. Your goals are set with your nutritionist based on your health, lifestyle, and expectations. Through regular follow-ups, the advice is adjusted as you progress to promote lasting results and minimize the risk of weight regain.

A multidisciplinary team at your service

At La Clinique Naturelle, your nutritionist works as part of a team of therapists with complementary skills. Collaboration among these professionals enriches each treatment plan and, when appropriate, allows us to refer you to the services best suited to your situation (psychology, naturopathy, acupuncture, etc.).

Recommendations based on current scientific studies

Our support is based on current scientific recommendations in nutrition and takes a personalized approach. It is provided by a nutritionist certified by ASCA and RME.

A complementary approach to conventional medicine

Nutritional coaching is designed to complement medical care. It is not a substitute for the care provided by your doctor or other healthcare professionals. If your situation requires it, our support can be integrated into your medical care and, with your consent, coordinated with your doctor’s recommendations to ensure a consistent approach.

Are the sessions covered by supplemental insurance?

Les séances peuvent être remboursées, en partie, par certaines assurances complémentaires. La prise en charge dépend toutefois de votre contrat, de la thérapie suivie et du thérapeute choisi.

Before your first appointment, we recommend that you contact your insurance provider directly and provide them with the following information:

  • le nom du thérapeute ;
  • la thérapie concernée.

Les thérapeutes de La Clinique Naturelle disposent de reconnaissances professionnelles qui varient selon leur spécialité, notamment auprès de l’ASCA et/ou du RME. Ces reconnaissances ne garantissent toutefois pas automatiquement le remboursement des séances : seule votre assurance peut confirmer les conditions exactes de votre prise en charge.

FAQ – Weight Loss Coaching

How can you stay motivated when you're trying to lose weight?August 20, 2026, 9:39:11 PM +02:00

Motivation can fluctuate over the course of a coaching program. Rather than relying solely on motivation, coaching helps you set incremental goals, identify challenges you encounter, and adjust changes when they become too difficult to sustain. The goal is to develop habits that fit into your daily life and can be maintained over the long term.

Can hypothyroidism make it harder to lose weight?August 20, 2026, 9:38:32 PM +02:00

Hypothyroidism can be associated with weight gain, but its impact varies depending on the individual and the medical situation. Hypothyroidism requires proper medical evaluation and follow-up. Weight-loss coaching is not a substitute for this medical care, but it can be used as a complementary approach to address diet, physical activity, and lifestyle habits.

Can PCOS make it harder to lose weight?August 20, 2026, 9:37:53 p.m. +02:00

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is frequently associated with metabolic disorders, particularly insulin resistance, which can affect weight management. Nutritional guidance and lifestyle changes can be part of the treatment plan, in addition to medical care tailored to each individual’s situation.

Why do I eat so little but not lose weight?August 20, 2026, at 9:35:00 PM +02:00

Eating small portions doesn’t necessarily mean that your diet is tailored to your needs or conducive to weight loss. The composition and timing of meals, snacking, physical activity, sleep, stress, certain medications, and specific health conditions can also play a role. The first appointment is specifically designed to examine these various factors rather than focusing solely on the amounts you consume.

Why do I gain weight again after dieting?August 20, 2026, 9:35:28 PM +02:00

Weight regain after dieting is common, especially when the changes made are very restrictive or difficult to maintain. After several attempts, the goal of this support is to understand what led to previous weight regain and to gradually develop habits that are more compatible with your daily life.

 

Why can't I lose weight even though I've tried several diets?August 20, 2026, 9:36:10 PM +02:00

Trying multiple diets doesn’t always help identify the factors that make it difficult to lose or maintain weight. Eating habits, lifestyle, physical activity, sleep, stress, and certain health conditions may all need to be taken into account. Coaching, therefore, focuses on your personal history and past experiences rather than offering a new, standardized diet.

Can stress and emotions lead to snacking?August 20, 2026, 9:36:37 p.m. +02:00

Yes, for some people. Stress, emotions, fatigue, or even boredom can influence eating behaviors and lead to eating even when there is no physiological hunger. When this pattern is present, the goal is to identify the triggering situations and gradually work on appropriate strategies, without feeling guilty.

 

Why can it be harder to lose weight during perimenopause or menopause?August 20, 2026, at 9:37:05 PM +02:00

The menopausal transition may be accompanied by changes in body composition and fat distribution. Sleep, physical activity, diet, and other changes associated with this stage of life may also play a role. Therefore, support can be tailored to this context rather than focusing solely on dietary restriction.
