Time To Meet Your Cultural Dietitian

Hey, I'm Fathima

I’m an Accredited Practising Dietitian & Nutritionist, specialising in Weight Loss and Lifestyle Disease Management with Cultural Foods. As a woman of colour with a blended cultural background, I deeply understand the challenges—both internal and external—of losing weight while staying connected to the foods you love.

With 13 years of experience and thousands of clients from diverse backgrounds, I’ve developed The Eat Smart Method—a proven approach for sustainable weight loss and long-term healthy eating. My method is delivered through two core online programs and 1:1 consultations, helping you lose weight for good—without giving up your cultural foods.

I make healthy eating simple, sustainable, and truly yours 💚

The average diet has a 90% failure rate, and most women try 3-5 different diets each year, only to regain the weight because restrictive plans aren’t sustainable. Sound familiar? If you’ve been through this cycle, you’re probably wondering: What actually works for weight loss?

That’s where I come in. I’m passionate about bridging the gap in culturally appropriate nutrition advice—because healthy eating should be accessible, affordable, and enjoyable. Your solution shouldn’t be a one-size-fits-all plan—it should be tailored to YOU—your personality, your lifestyle, and your culture.

Are you ready to Eat Smart & Lose Weight?

Let’s dive into The Eat Smart Method—a simple, science-backed approach to losing weight while enjoying your cultural foods.

I noticed that so many women felt stuck, confused about what to eat, and unsure of the right path to healthy weight loss. They didn’t need another restrictive diet—they needed guidance, clarity, and a plan that worked with their lifestyle. That’s why I created The Eat Smart Method—a step-by-step framework designed to help you lose weight for good, without giving up the foods you love.

✨ Here’s what makes it different:
✅ No restriction – No cutting out entire food groups or eating differently from your family.
✅ No time-consuming plans – Simple, realistic strategies that fit your daily life.
✅ No expensive teas, juices, or supplements – Just real food that tastes great and fuels your body.
✅ No skipping social events – Learn how to navigate eating out while staying on track.

I’ve seen incredible transformations with my clients—women who’ve built lasting healthy habits, gained confidence in their food choices, and finally achieved weight loss that sticks.

If you’re tired of feeling stuck and ready for a sustainable, guilt-free way to lose weight, I can’t wait to share this approach with you! 💚

My Qualifications & Accreditations

Here's what people have had to say about working with me:

After completing the 3-Month Nourish with Culture Program with Fathima, I lost 8kg and feel incredible! What stood out to me was that I didn’t have to give up any of my beloved cultural dishes.

Fathima’s plan embraced the foods I love while teaching me how to nourish my body in a way that feels both satisfying and sustainable. It’s so freeing to break away from the restrictive diets that only focus on Western foods. Now, I feel confident and empowered, knowing I can maintain my weight loss journey while staying connected to my roots.

This experience has truly transformed how I view food and my health.

I love your meal guide — it lets me enjoy my cultural foods without guilt. Unlike anything I've seen online! It's been almost a week, and instead of losing willpower, I feel stronger and more motivated every day. Thank you so much!

I.H

Since restarting my healthy eating journey, I’ve lost 9kg Alhamdulillah — and I feel so much better for it! Your resources have been my food bible — I keep going back to your notes, voice messages, and meal planning tips. Instead of calorie counting, I plan my day, include protein and veg in every meal, and it’s made all the difference. Thank you for giving me the tools and confidence to do this. I recommend you to everyone!

S.I

I’ve maintained my weight since we last spoke — your plan is 1000% sustainable! I’ve been eating well, staying active, and I’m so happy to say you can enjoy the foods you love without gaining weight.

L.G

This program has made a huge difference in my life! I’m more mindful when I eat and make better food choices overall. Including vegetables in every meal has already improved my health, and learning about portion sizes and food ratios has been a game-changer. What surprised me most? I was honestly worried it would require a complete lifestyle overhaul — but it was the small, consistent changes that made all the difference. I’ve built sustainable habits without feeling overwhelmed!

I have recommended Fathima to many people and it is the fear of taking the first step- but when I did the whole new perspective and clarity I gained on things, just my following small and easy changes to my diet and lifestyle!

TITHINY

The diet I followed was not restrictive. I still got to eat crisps and chocolate and know now how to control my portions. Being able to eat the foods I loved while losing weight really helped. It is now my lifestyle. I never had to push myself too hard, but rather gradually reduced my portions. I am so happy I never had to cut out my Nshima and carbs. Here I am losing weight while eating carbs and my friends are out there starving and fasting for 16hrs a day, miserable and not achieving anything. I am happy and I know I can do this for the rest of my life, because this is me
