Struggling to Lose Weight or Keep It Off?
Have you tried countless diets without seeing lasting results?
Do you feel confused by all the conflicting nutrition advice out there?

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.
At Diala Murr Dietary Clinic, Diala combines her extensive experience with the latest evidence-based nutrition practices to help you understand your body, overcome obstacles, and achieve sustainable, measurable results. Using advanced tools to assess muscle mass, body water, and metabolism, Diala designs a personalised plan that works — for your goals, your body, and your lifestyle. Start your journey today — book a free consultation and take the first step towards feeling healthier, stronger, and more confident.
Weight Management
Managing weight isn’t just about eating less — it’s about understanding your body and finding the right nutritional balance. At Diala Murr Dietary Clinic, we use advanced tools like a Vertical Position Analyser and an Indirect Calorimetry Machine to assess posture, body composition, and metabolism. This allows us to determine your true energy requirements and create a personalised plan that promotes sustainable fat loss while maintaining lean muscle mass. Whether you’re aiming to lose, gain, or stabilise your weight, we focus on practical, enjoyable meal strategies that fit your lifestyle. Our goal is to help you achieve results that last — without restrictive diets or deprivation.
Diabetes, Prediabetes & Insulin Resistance
If you’ve been diagnosed with diabetes, prediabetes, or insulin resistance, nutrition plays a central role in managing your blood sugar levels and preventing complications. Through a detailed dietary assessment, Diala designs a customised meal plan that helps stabilise glucose levels, improve insulin sensitivity, and support healthy weight management. We’ll guide you in balancing carbohydrates, proteins, and fats effectively, while helping you understand food labels, portion control, and timing of meals. Many patients experience better blood glucose control, reduced medication needs, and improved energy within weeks. With the right dietary strategy, living well with diabetes becomes achievable and sustainable.
Hypertension
High blood pressure can quietly increase your risk of heart disease and stroke — but dietary changes can make a powerful difference. At Diala Murr Dietary Clinic, we develop a personalised low-sodium, high-nutrient meal plan that helps reduce blood pressure naturally. We focus on incorporating heart-healthy foods rich in potassium, magnesium, and antioxidants, while limiting processed and high-salt options. Patients often see measurable improvements through small but consistent lifestyle adjustments. With professional guidance and practical meal strategies, we’ll help you maintain healthy blood pressure levels and protect your heart health long-term.
Nutritional Deficiencies
Nutrient deficiencies can cause fatigue, weakened immunity, hair loss, or even chronic illness. Our clinic helps identify and correct these imbalances through comprehensive dietary analysis and laboratory result review. Diala will create a targeted nutrition plan to restore optimal vitamin and mineral levels through balanced meals and supplementation when required. Whether it’s iron, vitamin D, B12, calcium, or other nutrients, we take a holistic approach that addresses the root cause rather than just the symptoms. Ongoing support ensures deficiencies are corrected safely and effectively, helping you regain energy and vitality.
Renal Failure
For those living with chronic kidney disease or renal failure, diet is one of the most important factors in slowing disease progression and managing symptoms. Diala Murr provides specialised renal nutrition plans tailored to your medical condition, blood test results, and treatment stage. We help you manage protein, sodium, potassium, and phosphorus intake — all while ensuring your meals remain enjoyable and balanced. With expert guidance, you can better control fluid retention, support kidney function, and maintain overall health. Our goal is to help you live well while protecting your kidneys.
IBS & Gastrointestinal Issues
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and digestive discomfort can significantly affect quality of life. Our clinic provides individualised nutrition therapy to identify triggers, reduce bloating, and improve gut comfort. Diala uses a step-by-step approach that may include elimination diets, such as low FODMAP or anti-inflammatory plans, to pinpoint the foods affecting your digestion. We also focus on improving gut microbiome health, fibre balance, and meal timing. With ongoing support, patients often experience relief from cramps, gas, and irregular bowel habits — leading to a calmer, healthier digestive system.
Dyslipidemia
Dyslipidemia, or abnormal cholesterol and triglyceride levels, is a key risk factor for cardiovascular disease. A tailored nutrition plan can significantly improve your lipid profile and overall heart health. At Diala Murr Dietary Clinic, we develop heart-smart meal strategies that reduce saturated fats and trans fats while increasing omega-3s, soluble fibre, and plant-based nutrients. We also provide practical advice on portion control, label reading, and mindful eating habits. Over time, patients often see improved cholesterol ratios and a lowered risk of heart complications — all through sustainable, delicious dietary changes.
Evolt 360+ Body Composition Analysis
See Beyond the Scales
The Evolt 360 Body Composition Scan is an advanced, non-invasive assessment that gives you a clear and accurate picture of your body composition — far beyond what weight or BMI can show.
Using bioelectrical impedance technology, the Evolt 360 provides a 360-degree snapshot of your health, helping us track real progress and design personalised, results-driven nutrition and lifestyle plans.
What Does the Evolt 360 Measure?
The scan takes less than 60 seconds and provides detailed insights, including:
- Total body fat percentage
- Visceral fat levels (fat around the organs)
- Skeletal muscle mass
- Segmental muscle and fat distribution (arms, legs, trunk)
- Body water balance
- Basal metabolic rate (BMR)
- Body symmetry and balance
This allows us to understand where changes are happening, not just whether the number on the scale moves.
Why Is Body Composition Important?
Two people can weigh the same but have very different health profiles.
The Evolt 360 helps us:
· Track fat loss vs muscle preservation
· Identify hidden visceral fat
· Monitor muscle loss during weight loss
· Adjust nutrition plans with precision
· Set realistic, evidence-based goals
This is especially important for:
- Weight management
- Metabolic health (diabetes, cholesterol, fatty liver)
- Perimenopause & menopause
- Sports & performance nutrition
- Post-pregnancy or body recomposition goals
How the Scan Supports Your Nutrition Plan
As Accredited Practising Dietitians, we use your Evolt 360 results to:
- Tailor calories, protein, and macronutrients
- Adjust plans if muscle loss or plateaus occur
- Provide objective progress tracking
- Keep you motivated with visual, measurable outcomes
The scan allows us to move from “guessing” to data-driven nutrition care.
What to Expect During the Scan
- Quick and non-invasive (no needles or radiation)
- Takes under 1 minute
- Performed barefoot, standing on the platform
- You receive a detailed report explained by your dietitian
For best accuracy, we recommend scanning under similar conditions each time (hydration, time of day).
Who Can Benefit?
✔ Adults of all ages
✔ Clients starting a weight-loss journey
✔ Those struggling with plateaus
✔ Athletes and active individuals
✔ Anyone wanting a deeper understanding of their body

Breezing® Pro Metabolic Test
(Indirect Calorimetry)
Measure Your Metabolism — Don’t Guess It
The Breezing® Pro Metabolic Test is a gold-standard, non-invasive assessment that measures your true resting metabolic rate (RMR) — the number of calories your body burns at rest to keep you alive.
Unlike online calculators or smartwatches, Breezing® Pro uses indirect calorimetry, the most accurate method available, to give you personalised, real data about your metabolism.
What Does Breezing® Pro Measure?
During the test, we measure:
- Oxygen consumption (VOâ‚‚)
- Carbon dioxide production (VCOâ‚‚)
From this, we accurately calculate your:
- Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) – your true daily calorie needs at rest
- Substrate utilisation – whether your body is burning more fat or carbohydrates
- Respiratory Exchange Ratio (RER)
This information allows us to tailor your nutrition plan with precision.
Why Is Knowing Your Metabolic Rate Important?
Many people struggle with weight loss or plateaus because they are:
- Eating too much for their metabolism
- Or under-fueling, which can slow metabolism and increase fatigue
Breezing® Pro helps us:
- Set accurate calorie targets
- Avoid under- or over-restriction
- Understand metabolic adaptation
- Explain why weight loss may have stalled
- Optimise nutrition for fat loss, muscle preservation, or performance
How the Test Supports Your Nutrition Plan
As Accredited Practising Dietitians, we use your Breezing® Pro results to:
- Personalise energy intake (calories)
- Adjust macronutrient distribution
- Improve fat-burning efficiency
Support metabolic health in:
- Weight management
- Perimenopause & menopause
- Thyroid conditions
- Post-bariatric care
- Sports & performance nutrition
This moves your care from estimated formulas to science-based precision.
What to Expect During the Test
- Non-invasive and comfortable
- Performed at rest in a seated or lying position
- You breathe normally into a mouthpiece
- Takes approximately 10–15 minutes
- Results are interpreted and explained by your dietitian
For accuracy, you may be asked to:
- Fast for several hours beforehand
- Avoid exercise, caffeine, and nicotine prior to testing
Who Can Benefit?
✔
People struggling with weight-loss plateaus
✔ Individuals who feel they “gain weight easily”
✔ Clients with metabolic or hormonal conditions
✔ Athletes and active individuals
✔ Anyone wanting accurate calorie targets
Combine Breezing® Pro with Body Composition Scans
For best results, Breezing® Pro is often combined with:
- Evolt 360 Body Composition Scans
This allows us to align metabolism, muscle mass, and fat loss, ensuring changes are healthy, sustainable, and measurable.
Book Your Breezing® Pro Metabolic Test
The Breezing® Pro Metabolic Test can be booked:
· As part of a comprehensive dietetic consultation
· Or as a stand-alone metabolic assessment
