Hello, I am Dr. Eva Clemente with over 20 years of experience working and living in London. I graduated in Madrid, Spain in 1997 and moved to the UK 23 years ago where I completed my postgraduate training. I have been treating people living with Diabetes and weight problems for over 12 years. During this time, I had grown frustrated with the traditional methods used to manage compulsive eating disorders and weight problems. After many years of looking for a solution, I found the Institute of Food Addiction in Iceland where I learned about the concept of food addiction and obtained my qualification as a Food Addiction Professional from the European Certification Board. Their successful holistic approach gave me the confidence to help my clients maintain a healthy weight, free of food cravings and obsessions. Food addiction counseling together with my medical background gives me the perfect tools to take you on a life-changing journey. Hi, I’m Dr. Raquel Delgado. As a General Practitioner (Family Physician Doctor), I was trained to believe that eating less and moving more was the answer. Yet in 15 years of clinical practice, I felt powerless to help patients with Type 2 diabetes, obesity, and other weight-related problems. In 2016, I learned that low carbohydrate, ketogenic, and intermittent fasting diets could help with weight loss and managing weight-related problems. But after an initially successful weight loss journey on these diets, many people were relapsing into eating fast food and high-carb diets again. In 2019, a friend mentioned that her overeating and obesity were due to sugar addiction. It made a lot of sense to me! Soon after I signed up for the Food Addiction Training by INFACT and became a Food Addiction Professional. Now, I believe that to stop the endless vicious circle of dieting, binge eating, overeating, shame, and guilt we need to rule out an underlying food addiction.
