Ella - I twice lost weight by seeing a dietician (then got pregnant and failed to shed the baby weight LOL). I found it very helpful - she was able to give me guidelines that were specific to me and my typical diet/lifestyle. There's lots of keeping a weekly food diary that goes on but fairly easy to do. Plus you learn what to look for on the grocery shelves, ie you can assess a product based on the nutrition panel, and not just because someone tells you it's worth x calories or x points, kwim?

And portion sizes!! Very helpful.

Just chose your dietician carefully, if one's not working for you, see another.
