Clinical nutrition in Beirut — assessment, weight management, diabetes and cholesterol, sport nutrition and body treatments.
Who you will see
Dt. Sara Hammoud is a clinical nutrition practice in Mar Mkhayel, Beirut. First consultations run to an hour, because the history — how you actually eat, not how you intend to — is where any usable plan comes from.
Body composition is measured rather than guessed from the scale, recent bloods are reviewed where you have them, and you leave with two or three changes written down rather than a forty-page document nobody opens.
Registered dietitianClinical qualification, not a weekend nutrition certificate.
Body composition on siteMuscle and fat measured, so progress is not judged by one number.
Hour-long first consultationsTime to take the history the plan is actually built from.

In numbers
A baseline at the start and the same measurements at review, so progress is something we can see rather than something you have to feel.
The approach
They are unremarkable principles. Following them every single time is what is not.
Principle 01
Weight on its own tells you very little. Body composition and bloods turn a plan from an opinion into something you can check against.
Principle 02
A plan assembled from foods you already buy and already like survives contact with a real week. A template does not.
Principle 03
Maintenance is where almost everything falls apart, so it is designed in from the start rather than wished for at the end.
What matters here
Including that what you are already doing is fine, when it is.
You should be able to explain your own plan to someone else.
Supplements get recommended when the evidence is there, and not otherwise.
Re-measured at review rather than judged on how the week felt.
Fussy eating handled without turning dinner into a fight.
Disordered eating and medical issues go to the right person.
Families
Three people told us to wait. The assessment gave us an actual number and a plan the same week.
We were told to stop speaking Arabic at home. Here we were told the opposite, with the research to back it.
Her teacher could not understand her. Six months later she is reading aloud in class.
The online sessions meant we did not have to move cities. It worked exactly like being in the room.
I was given strategies for the car and for bath time, not a worksheet. That is what changed things.
She explained the stutter to us so clearly that we stopped panicking — and that alone helped him.
