Helping Richard manage his weight loss.
When Richard was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphatic Lipemia, one of his symptoms was unplanned weight loss.
After losing more than 10kg a friend at his local bowls club suggested he could go to an ECH Dietitian for help managing his weight.
“Seeing an ECH Dietitian was so helpful. I was able to learn about how I can adjust my diet in a healthy way to incorporate high protein snacks to gain weight. In three weeks, I gained back the weight I had lost, and now with my ECH Dietitian I can keep my current weight on track.”
