It’s also important that you have a healthy relationship with food where you enjoy what you eat and look forward to mealtimes without overeating or craving. We take a balanced approach to nutrition at Tailored Nutrition. This starts with balancing your needs, wants and goals in relation to food and your body.

We recommend you keep a 3-day food diary before your consultation, ensuring you are as accurate with portion sizes as possible.

Testimonials

"I work as a practice nurse and I speak to people alot about diet and exercise on a regular basis because we have a lot of obese diabetic patients. I was finding it difficult to lose weight without spending 45 mins per day on my cross trainer (which I wasn’t doing) and I felt hungry all the time. The only exercise I was doing was walking my lazy bull mastiff dog twice a day for about ½ hr. My clothes were too small and I was frustrated. One of my patients had been recommended to see Debbie Mason from Tailored Nutrition. She had lost heaps of weight so I felt inspired to see her too."

"Finally some straight forward plain english advice on exactly what to eat, and why, to look and feel great. The nutritional plan that Debbie put together for me has made such as impact that I have made a point of telling friends, family and even my Doctor she deserves a call."

- Ian Cummings

"Having gotten back into training after a few years of slacking off, I decided to have a personal trainer. This worked well for my fitness, but there was no change to my body shape which was frustrating and disheartening, especially when working out 6 days a week. I then met Debbie and she immediately knew what was wrong with my diet, explained it to me in plain English and gave me very practical solutions. Now I am losing the weight I want while still eating yummy and substantial food that I can cook for my family without having the food envy that normally comes with being on a “diet"

- Helen Morgan

“I love the level of detail I get from Debbie’s new body scanner it’s like having a WOF for my body once a month, so as a personal trainer I also recommend that my clients see Debbie for a scan so we can track their physical progress and not just their weight.

I first started seeing Debbie a number of years ago because even though I have a background in fitness I also have a sweet tooth, particularly when stressed. I’m also firmly opposed to faddy diets and so called quick fixes. This is where Debbie’s knowledge and personalised advice eclipsed the previous nutritionists I had seen prior to checking out Tailored Nutrition. I no longer had to eat a super rigid diet of bland food and instead got an easy, delicious and actionable plan that got results in no time. Not only that but learning to eat well, make better choices and not getting frowned upon for eating a bit of chocolate now and again has meant that my weight doesn’t yo-yo anymore.

If you’re thinking about seeing a nutritionist then definitely go see Debbie. Save yourself the time and money of visiting under qualified people trying to sell you quick fixes and expensive supplements and get professional service from someone who actually delivers real sustainable results, you won’t regret it!

I had weight to lose and had already been frustrated by other nutritionists giving me generic answers. Eating nice food that is full of flavour is important to me. I have been fully understood by Debbie. During my weight loss I have never been feeling really hungry and I have enjoyed my food. Debbie has really explained to me how it works, giving me numbers and comparisons. I do also appreciate the fact she works on the fat percentage of my body and not just on the number on the scales. She is also making a detailed follow up of the separate parts of my body. Another good point is that Debbie is considering my way of eating and has given me a food plan personalised to me and my taste, with a lot of super yummy recipes.I’m really happy about my weight loss experience with Debbie, and I highly recommend her to anyone who is serious about losing weight.”​

“My journey with Debbie started in 2014. At the time I was not eating particularly healthy but my main reason for contacting her was because I was training for my first half marathon.
I was very nervous going to see her as I do love my food and I was dreading being hungry all the time and eating things I didn’t particularly love. I also love my happy hour and was worried I was never going to enjoy another one.
Debbie was not what I expected!! Debbie listened to me and what was important to me and devised a plan to suit. Sure I had to cut back on some of that yummy stuff, my wine went to low calorie and I was making carrot sticks for happy hour but the results were worth it. I started eating healthier and I smashed my first half.
I still go to Debbie, not all the time, usually when I’m training for an event but every time I go I feel listened to and whatever my goal is I achieve it with her help.
My food plan always has enough food on it and my thoughts on how I eat and what I eat have changed. Debbie has taught me to listen to my body and what it needs. She has taught me that if I do deviate from the plan to make sure 1. It is worth it 2. Enjoy it and don’t feel guilty if that is the choice I make & 3. Get back onto the plan afterwards and don’t dwell on it.
I still love my food and enjoy happy hour but I am also healthy, I’m not hungry and I can get to the goals I set. I’ve learnt that how I feel is not based on the numbers I’m seeing on the scale but how my body is feeling and the results I’m achieving.”

"Dear Debbie,
I want to take the opportunity to express my appreciate to you for your guidance , support and assistance in my efforts to achieve my health and physical fitness goals over the last 18 months or so.
I had been a member of Massey gym for about a year doing sort of Ok –losing some weight, which was the first goal I wanted to achieve. One day I happened to mention to one of the Instructors that I felt the results I was achieving were relatively modest compared with the effort I was making. The response was–“go and see Debbie Mason the nutritionist, you must get your nutrition right if you want to get maximum benefit from your exercise programme“.
I am so pleased I followed this advice and made an appointment to have a consultation with you. Since our first meeting I just have made immense improvement and have achieved results that I felt, despite my keen desire to achieve them may have been beyond me due to my “mature age” of 67 years. Over the 18 months or so that I have been seeing you I have really appreciated the way you have applied your skills so patiently and helped me to make the step by step progress which has produced results beyond my expectations. The results of my most recent consultation can only be described as thrilling! Your most recent nutrition plan was aimed at regaining the muscle lost when I lost 10kg’s of body fat. At my last visit to assess my progress my results were outstanding. I was hoping, and had been reasonably confident, that I had made some improvement because I felt it and could see a visible improvement. I thought I might have achieved a lean muscle increase of a minimum of 1kg and any fat increase a maximum of 500 gms — that would have been a good result and I would have been happy with that! — the results which were actually achieved were truly amazing. I was also fortunate to have Nigel Poulsen’s encouragement and guidance in the gym. I was always prepared to respond to his efforts and to do my best –however whilst the spirit was most willing I thought maybe the flesh was too weak! and maybe not up to the task any more. So to hear that I had reduced my body fat % to under 20% –I started 18 months ago at 26% –and increased lean muscle in the last 4 weeks by 2.2 kgs was great news –I am still enjoying the moment.
Thank you again for all the advice and help you have given me and for providing individualised nutrition programmes which have been the basis of achieving results beyond my expectations.
Best regards,

Allan White

One of my patients had been recommended to see Debbie Mason from Tailored Nutrition. She had lost heaps of weight so I felt inspired to see her too.
I had my cholesterol checked prior to seeing Debbie. My total cholesterol was 7.8 (normal is less than, LDL 5.8. I had a diet very high in saturated fat, cream in the coffee, butter on everything, cheese; fat on meat…..the list goes on.
Debbie was great, we went over my food diary, I was shocked at what I was eating. We put together a low fat food plan, I was able to eat a lot more than I usually did. I decided that I would see how this new diet goes and stay with the dog walking exercise.
I saw Debbie again after 3 weeks. I had lost about 2kg and my Total cholesterol had gone down to 4.2 and my LDL to 2.6 (back to normal!!!) I have now lost about 5kgs, and am used to eating low fat yummy food.
I would highly recommend anyone going to see Debbie, if you’re serious about getting healthy and losing weight then she will have solution for you.
Kind regards,

Dear Debbie,
Thank you for all the support and encouragement you have given me this year. As you know, for years I have been planning to lose weight but you have helped me make that a reality this year.
Losing weight has been so much easier than I ever envisaged thanks to your practical nutritional advice, the realistic goals you helped me set and the way you took into consideration my lifestyle and family’s needs. I have really appreciated your holistic approach and the information you have given me about nutrition and weight loss – it has helped me better understand the whole process and to see this as a lifestyle, not a ‘diet’.
Thank you also for your warmth and empathy – it has been so enjoyable coming to see you. You are probably the best investment I have made in myself for a long time! Warmest regards.

“My name is Matt and I am 16 years old. I started seeing Debbie when I was 15, my Mum booked me in and I wasn’t to happy I knew I had a problem with eating and I felt embarassed. I found it easier to see Debbie without my Mum so I could speak honestly. The advice I was given helped me through Christmas and the Summer Break and got me into really good habits. It is a year since I first saw Debbie and feel I have my weight under control and have a better understanding of what are the best foods to eat. I also joined a gym and know that has helped me to loose weight and keep it off and I really enjoy going.”

– Matt

Debbie, thank you for the huge part you played in my weight loss. You gave a truly individualised service and helped me to finally understand what I did and did not need in my diet…. and it never once felt like a “diet”. You gave me an understanding of healthy eating that is all about enjoying good food, not about depriving myself and feeling hungry. I have learned that you don’t have to be hungry in order to loose weight or stay slim.
Your advice and meal plans were always practical and slotted into my life without any hassles. I appreciated the fact that your suggestions were always based on good science and sensible nutrition that made sense and really worked. I felt educated.
Debbie, you are the perfect balance of a practical and no-nonsense approach and at the same time are warm and empathetic. I felt you genuinely had my best interests at heart all the time and celebrated my successes with me while being unconditionally supportive.
You helped me to lose 20 kgs, so not only did I feel fabulous in my wedding dress, but I feel I have learned how to manage my weight for the long term. I finally feel like I am in control of my weight, rather than it being in control of me.
