Want to eat more healthily, have more energy or lose weight in a way you can actually maintain? The Mediterranean diet is one of the most researched ways of eating for long-term health, and it’s built on real, enjoyable food rather than rules and restriction. As a Mediterranean diet dietitian in the UK, I’ll help you make it part of your everyday life, in a way that fits around your routine, your tastes and your schedule.
I’m Maria Kolotourou, a Greek registered dietitian based in the UK. I have over 20 years of experience, and the Mediterranean way of eating is at the heart of my work. Through my Greek Lifestyle Nutrition Programme, we’ll create an eating plan together that suits you and supports your goals. And if you’re Greek and living abroad, missing the way you used to eat back home, I understand that too.
Sessions are online, in English or Greek.
Is This Programme Right for You?
This programme is for you if you:
- Want to eat more healthily and in a more balanced way, without strict diets
- Want to lose weight gradually and keep it off
- Struggle to find the time or ideas for healthy meals
- Want to improve health markers such as cholesterol, blood pressure or blood sugar
- Want a better relationship with food
- Want a dietitian who understands Mediterranean food culture and life away from home
I work with many Greeks who live abroad, as well as anyone from any background who’d like a Mediterranean approach.
“After years of trying different diets, I was sceptical, but Maria’s approach was completely different. She helped me get my diet in order – without feeling deprived or having a bland diet. I lost 11kg over 5 months and finally have eating habits I can sustain. Maria’s practical, non-judgmental approach made all the difference. Highly recommend!” — Dimitris P., 42, Zurich
How Nutrition Helps
- Healthier everyday eating: balanced meals that fit your schedule and preferences
- Energy and focus: steadier blood sugar, the right nutrients and better-organised meals
- Weight: gradual weight loss or maintenance, without quick-fix, unrealistic diets
- Relationship with food: less stress about what to eat, and support with emotional eating (if that’s relevant to you)
- Long-term health: supporting your heart and metabolic health
If you have a health condition, nutrition works alongside any medical care you receive.
My Approach
- Mediterranean diet: the traditional Greek way of eating, and one of the most researched eating patterns for long-term health
- No restriction: no calorie counting, no forbidden foods, no food weighing
- Personalised: a plan built around your goals, your lifestyle and your preferences
- Practical: simple recipes, meal planning and batch cooking, so healthy eating fits into a busy week
- Understanding life abroad: Mediterranean recipes using ingredients from your local supermarket, plus advice for navigating family meals and social occasions
How It Works

2. First session (45 minutes): You complete an online assessment before our first meeting, then together we agree your priorities and build your personalised plan.
3. Follow-up sessions (30 minutes): Every two weeks, with weekly check-ins and online support in between.

What I’d Like You to Know
There’s no single diet that suits everyone. Results, and weight loss in particular, depend on many factors, including your starting point, your health, your sleep, your stress levels and how easily changes fit into your daily life. That’s why I can’t make promises about how much weight you’ll lose or when you will be able to reach your goals.
What I can promise is honest, evidence-based support and practical solutions. Many people who work with me notice more energy, more organised eating and less stress about food within a few weeks.

“I’d tried every diet out there and always gained the weight back. Maria helped me understand why – I needed habits I could maintain in the long run, not another quick fix. Through Mediterranean eating, I gradually lost and feel more energetic than I have in years. The best part? I don’t feel hungry or guilty anymore. Maria’s approach is holistic, culturally sensitive, and actually works long-term.” — Eirini K., 38, Glasgow
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this programme only for weight loss?
No. Many people join simply because they want to eat more healthily, have more energy or get more organised with their meals. If weight loss is one of your goals, we’ll work on it gradually, in a way you can maintain. - Will you put me on a strict diet?
No. We might start with a more structured plan to help you get organised, but it’s always flexible, with no weighing and no cutting out food groups. The aim is for you to make good choices on your own, in any situation. - Do I have to cook Greek food?
Not at all. The principles of the Mediterranean diet adapt to any cuisine. Greek recipes are there if you’d like them, not a requirement. - I don’t have much time to cook. Will this work for me?
Yes. We focus on simple, quick meals, planning ahead and batch cooking, so healthy eating fits into your week. - I’m not Greek. Can I still join?
Of course. Sessions run in English or Greek, and the Mediterranean way of eating adapts to any culture and kitchen. - Should I choose the 12-week programme or the 4-week cycles?
The 12-week programme suits you if you’d like steady, structured support over a longer period. Research suggests new habits usually take around two to three months to become established, so this option supports you throughout that time, and it comes with a small discount. The 4-week cycles suit you if you prefer flexibility, or would like to see what working together feels like before committing for longer. We can decide together which option suits you better on your discovery call.
