Success Story: Nutritionist for Weight Loss and Type 2 Diabetes

Nutritionist for weight loss and diabetes: Success Storie to Inspire You!

This is the incredible weight loss journey of Severina, who lives in Swindon and, in 3 months, lost 12kgs and nearly reversed her type 2 diabetes without any exercise, following Raquel Britzke’s weight loss method. We say almost because her treatment is at the very beginning, but her blood glucose levels dropped in 2 weeks from 13.5 mmol/L to 6.5 mmol/L, and after losing 12kg in 3 months, her HbA1c dropped from 65 mmol/mol to 47 mmol/mol.

What are normal levels of glucose and HbA1C in the UK:

Blood glucose (mmol/L): This is a snapshot of glucose levels in the blood at a specific time (e.g., fasting or post-meal).

• Normal fasting range: 4.0–5.4 mmol/L
• Poorly controlled diabetes: Above 7.0 mmol/L fasting, or 11.0 mmol/L or higher at any time

HbA1c (mmol/mol): This reflects the average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 months.

• Normal range: Below 42 mmol/mol
• Diabetes: 48 mmol/mol or higher

The Raquel Britzke weight loss method is science-based and is about eating real, nutritious foods.

Her story is incredibly inspiring. Severina not only shed a significant amount of weight but also reduced her body measurements dramatically, including a 14cm decrease in abdominal circumference and a noticeable reduction in abdominal fat. People have also remarked on the transformation in her face.

Interestingly, Severina did not engage in any exercise while following the weight loss diet but remained committed to the dietary plan. While she didn’t follow the diet perfectly 100% of the time, she stayed focused most of the time.

In an interview with us, she shared that in the past, despite exercising heavily, she was unable to lose weight—her highest weight when exercising was 94kg—because her diet wasn’t properly aligned. 

Her three monthly diet plans were tailored to her metabolism. The strategy began with a Detox Diet, transitioned to a Carb Cycling Diet, and concluded with the Mediterranean Diet. Severina still wants to lose 18kg and is very excited to continue the treatment and adapt all she learnt as a lifestyle.

Severina revealed that she didn’t sacrifice her social life during the programme; she continued going out with friends and even enjoyed occasional alcoholic drinks.

With Raquel Britzke’s method, the patients are encouraged to carry on their normal lives, eat real food and engage in social events. The key is to learn to make the right decisions about food choices and portion sizes if you are trying to lose weight. This technique you learn with the nutritionist and the resources we provide.

In the past, Severina had consulted many nutritionists but had never achieved such effective weight loss, reporting that it was frustrating, and she decided to do our weight loss programme as a last chance.

What did you like the most about the method?

“I liked everything. But the main thing was the diet. They were amazing because I felt full and satisfied. I didn’t feel weak at all. It was fantastic.

With the diets I tried in the past, I would feel dizzy and hungry, crave sweets, and not lose weight. I couldn’t stick to them for long.” 

Severina completed: ‘My husband wasn’t sure I should give another go to a nutritionist since I had so many bad experiences in the past. Today, he reassures, yes, it was a good decision to enrol in this weight loss programme with Raquel Britzke.’

What other health improvements did you experience apart from fat loss?

“The thing that made me happiest was that my type 2 diabetes, which had been very high, normalised after just four weeks on the diet. I monitor it daily now, and it’s consistently under control with a healthy diet.

I’ve had type 2 diabetes for 12 years, ever since I started gaining weight.”

After losing the 12kgs, Severina consulted her doctor and her glucose levels are nearly as close as someone with pre-diabetes, so much more controlled than before. She is excited and looking forward to her next steps in this healthy journey because if she continues to follow this lifestyle and loses her other 18kg desired, she has a great chance to reverse her type 2 diabetes and come totally off medication. At the moment, she already reduced it by a third.

What led you to seek help with our weight loss method?

“I had type 2 diabetes with very high glucose levels, and I was taking metformin for diabetes, experiencing severe foot pain, and feeling unwell overall. This made me unhappy about my body and all the pain. I had to do something about it.

And it was the best decision of my life. Now, my clothes fit much better, and everything feels loose. Seeing how loose my clothes are gives me confidence that I’m on the right track.”

She concluded that seeing a nutritionist for weight loss was the best decision as it had such an unexpected positive impact on her diabetes.

How does the consultation with a nutritionist for weight loss at Raquel Britzke Clinic work?

When you book your first consultation with a nutritionist for weight loss in our clinic, you will receive a questionnaire to fill out.

The nutrition consultation can be online in the comfort of your home, as we have helped people in 80 different countries, or it can be in person in our central London nutrition clinic.

During your 1 hour consultation, the nutritionist will discuss the best treatment and tests for you based on your answers and measurements. Of course, more questions will be asked during the appointment to decide the best nutrition strategy for you. She will also help you to set realistic goals and keep you motivated to start your weight loss journey.

The diet is calculated based on your metabolism. The detailed meal plan will determine exactly what foods to eat and the portion size as well. Extra resources, like a healthy e-cookbook, exercise template, food exchange list and so on, are provided to help you to be more flexible and have choices.

During the treatment, you will have ongoing support directly with your nutritionist. Accountability and support are really important to keep going and not lose motivation.
