Background:
A 55-year-old, post-menopausal, obese female with obesity-related symptoms seen by a nutritionist using motivational interviewing and self-determination theory assisted a client with an elimination diet and lifestyle modifications to lose weight.
Case/Intervention:
An elimination diet was the primary component of these recommendations, identifying food sensitivities associated with an inability to lose weight. Biomarkers identified abnormalities to help individualize and guide nutritional recommendations. Motivational interviewing and the self-determination theory were used in this functional nutrition approach.
Conclusion:
Over a six-week period the client had an 18-pound reduction in weight, a loss of 22.5 inches of girth and decreased bloating.
