Ana Ullger, director and senior nutritionist of Naturhouse Jersey, tells us more about the Naturhouse method.

Its aim is to assist clients with their eating habits in order to help them reach their target weight and from there, show them how to maintain it.

The Naturhouse Method

The Naturhouse method combines the sale of food supplements with free personalised advice and monitoring from a qualified nutritionist. All food supplements are made from natural ingredients, which allow for specific actions during the slimming process.

An initial consultation will typically take around 45 minutes. Ana explained that during the consultation she takes various measurements including weight, height, waist, legs, hips etc. She also analyses water retention and body fats via a custom built ‘Tanita’ machine and supporting Naturhouse proprietary software. After the first consultation, Ana recommends seeing clients on a weekly basis for about 15 minutes.

All consultations are currently free (worth about £60). All advice as well as diets are provided free of charge. The products recommended can vary between £10 per week and £45 per week, however they can adapt the programme to suit a client’s budget.

All Naturhouse nutritionists are qualified as nutritionists or dieticians. They have to undergo additional intensive Naturhouse training as well as having to sit and pass an internal exam.

Naturhouse Products

They have about 160 products available, ranging from vials, sachets, capsules, drinks, biscuits, toasts and jams.

The products are both supplements and meal replacements, for example toast and jams or fibre cereals are replacements for breakfasts, most other products are supplements with meals.

The most essential element of the programme is to eat regularly, Naturhouse recommend 5 meals a day. This consists of 3 larger meals and 2 snacks. Recipes are provided for the main meals, typically these will include fish, chicken and meats high in protein and heaps of vegetables.

Depending upon the person, their initial weight, their short and long-term goals, an average of 4kg to 5kg per month can be lost.

That said, they had a client recently that lost 48kg (7.5 stone) in 6 months and is still working to achieve her final goal. They also assisted a sportsman recently, although he didn’t lose any weight, he did lose several inches from his waist in just 1 week. He told them that he felt so much fitter, lighter and more energetic after his gym sessions.
