Your transformation doesn't begin with a restrictive plan. It begins with a conversation. A conversation where you're heard, understood, respected. Where your past failures aren't judged, but analyzed to understand what DIDN'T work.

Our promise at Diaeta: Your journey will be built AROUND your life, your tastes, your constraints. You will NEVER be hungry. You will NEVER eat foods you hate.

1. Why Take the Step Now

You may have already tried alone. Apps, books, influencers, intermittent fasting, ketogenic approach. And yet, you're still here.

Why alone isn't enough anymore? Because human nutrition is infinitely more complex than algorithms and generic plans can handle. With a qualified dietitian, you benefit from:

  • In-depth analysis of YOUR physiology
  • Adaptive plan that evolves with you
  • Scientific expertise
  • Emotional support during difficult moments

2. Your First Consultation

The first consultation lasts 60 to 75 minutes. It's not a transaction. It's a human conversation.

The First 15 Minutes: Your Story

We start with a simple question: "What brings you today?" Then we listen. Really.

The Next 20 Minutes: In-Depth Analysis

We explore your daily life: current eating, life rhythm, physical activity, sleep, stress, relationship with food.

The Following 15 Minutes: Measurements and Evaluations

Body composition, waist circumference, basal metabolism — these measurements establish your baseline.

The Final 15-20 Minutes: Your Roadmap

SMART goals, immediate priorities, recommended nutritional approach, follow-up frequency.

3. Your Personalized Plan

The Pillars of Your No-Hunger Plan

  • Your Food Preferences Respected: You hate fish? Perfect, we won't include it.
  • Your Life Constraints Integrated: Work schedules, cooking skills, budget, family
  • Your Physiological Needs Calculated: Optimized protein, adjusted carbohydrates, progressive fiber

4. INAMI Reimbursement

You're eligible if you have: Type 1 or 2 diabetes, BMI ≥ 30 (or ≥ 27 with comorbidity), Chronic kidney disease, or Malnutrition.

TypeRateReimbursementYour Cost
First consultation€52.14€35.97€16.17
Follow-up consultation€26.07€17.98€8.09

5. Realistic Transformation Timeline

Weeks 1-2

Loss of 1-2 kg, less bloating, better energy.

Weeks 3-8

Loss of 0.5-1 kg per week, looser clothes, reduced cravings.

Months 3-6

Visible body changes, new relationship with food.

6. Beyond the Scale

What our patients report:

  • "I no longer think about food 24/7"
  • "I wake up rested"
  • "No more 3 PM energy crash"
  • "I know HOW to make good choices now"

Your Next Step

Two paths before you:

Path 1: Wait. Continue as before. In 6 months, you'll probably be in the same place.

Path 2: Act. Decide that TODAY is the day everything changes. In 6 months, you could have lost 10-15 kg, have energy you'd forgotten, and know exactly how to nourish your body.

This life is within your reach. It begins with ONE decision. ONE appointment. ONE first step.
