You don’t have to call it a diet if that word makes you anxious.

You can think of it as a lifestyle change and a way to get back on track with your body and achieve ultimate health.

Especially as the jolly season approaches and the beaches become a day-to-day activity, we all want to be looking and feeling our absolute best.

Most standard diets require you to monitor and manage yourself, which can be exhausting if not overwhelming.

But with The Renewal Institute Diet (shortened to RID), you have a medical team going above and beyond to help you rock your body.

It essentially helps you dislodge all those abnormal fat stores in your body, which have accumulated over time, to get rid of them.

Exclusive to the Renewal Institute, the cutting edge supplements and support products are constantly re-evaluated to ensure that optimal results are achieved.

RID is also unique in that it offers lifestyle and health coaching, plus one-on-one monitoring by a health coach (qualified nurse) every two weeks.

It helps to know that a medical professional is on board to handle weight loss challenges such as diabetes, high cholesterol, and inflammatory conditions, too.

As a patient, you will be educated on the four pillars of health:

• Sleep optimisation (the foundation): Insufficient restorative deep sleep causes weight gain and may interfere with fat loss efforts.
• Gut restoration: Healthy digestive function will assist with fat loss and help prevent future weight gain.
• Stress Management: Cortisol can cause weight gain and can become an obstacle to fat loss.
• Healthy nutrition: Healthy, nutrient-dense foods will provide optimal nutrition and lower calorie intake.
• Healthy moderate exercise: Regular exercise will assist with weight loss and weight management.
• Detoxification: Toxins and excess hormones (especially oestrogen) are released during fat loss and it is essential to assist detoxification processes.
• Reducing inflammation: High levels of inflammation raise insulin levels, worsen insulin resistance, and lead to weight gain.

All the above factors need to be addressed for fat loss to be healthy, successful, and lasting.

For that, the RID Diet is an eight-prong approach to address the four pillars of health and everything in between.

It includes a calorie-controlled eating program, specially designed with low glycemic, low inflammatory foods to help with insulin resistance and inflammation, too.

There are also important supplements, a detox programme, and consistent medical supervision. This includes health coaching, guidance, and support every two weeks.
