THE STORY OF TABITHA HUME
I am Tabitha Hume, a fully qualified and Registered Clinical Dietician, with over 25 years’ experience in the private sector of dietetics practice.
I have devoted my life and passion to teaching people how to eat, in order to manage and cure their physical problems.
I do this for people of all ages, genders, sizes and cultures, who are
- physically sick,
- constantly tired,
- in pain,
- an unhealthy weight,
- frightened and confused about nutrition and who are desperate to find a sensible lifestyle solution, that they find easy to fit into their unique lives.
I help people to feel healthier, calmer and free of pain or disease. I show people HOW to feel energised, empowered, and enthusiastic about eating well.
I will show you how a healthy and slimming lifestyle approach can become really easy and exciting.
Before long, you will abandon reliance on willpower for your success, and finally give yourself ‘permission’ to feel rewarded by delicious meals.

what we do
Why Choose Me
There is a very big difference between a nutritionist and a dietician. Know who to choose for your needs.
Nutritionist
Nutritionists are allowed to provide information about food and healthy eating. No degree or diploma is required to call oneself a nutritionist
Dietician
Dieticians are the only qualified diet professionals who can work both with healthy and with ill people. They can evaluate, diagnose and treat medical conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). A minimum qualification of an HONOURs degree in Clinical Dietetics is required to be registered as a dietician.

What is Insulin Resistance?
Watch my easy-to-understand video to make it less complicated.
A resistance to the hormone insulin, resulting in increasing blood sugar. The hormone insulin helps control the amount of sugar (glucose) in the blood. With insulin resistance, the body's cells don't respond normally to insulin. Glucose can't enter the cells as easily, so it builds up in the blood. This can eventually lead to type 2 diabetes. Insulin resistance typically has no symptoms. Weight loss and exercise can help reverse insulin resistance.

“Tabitha helped me lose 30Kg's and gave me the necessary nutritional insight that allows me to lose weight when I feel I need to. I live a busy and hectic schedule and I can go months not eating correctly but when I need to get back on track I apply Tabitha's diet and within months I am back on track. I originally weighed 123Kg and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I heard Tabitha on the radio talking to John Robbie and I said I have to try this. Needless to say, from the minute I walked in her practice my life changed forever. Tabitha empowered me to be aware of what when and how I should eat. Within 5 months I had lost 20Kg and had never felt better in my life. My next check-up 6 with my GP 6 months after visiting Tabitha my mmol /L had dropped from 19 to below 8 two hours after eating. The diet cured me and to this day I still test my blood sugars. If I find myself off track I get back to the diet and within a couple of months I back on track. Thank you Tabitha!! Just, thank you.”

"Hi Tabitha, I would like to thank you so much for helping my friend, *** and her daughter, ***. I would also like to tell you that you are often spoken about by both my daughter, Andrea and myself. You will never be forgotten by us. You saved Andrea’s life and she still uses the skills you taught her to cope even now, when she has the odd ‘Bad day’. As a mother of an anorexic, I will never be able to thank you enough for what you did for Andrea. Without you we would not have our precious daughter today. As a result, we have been blessed with a lovely granddaughter, Olivia and in 3 weeks’ time, a baby boy is due. Andrea is very special to our doctor (he is the only one she will allow to deliver her babies). Because he walked the path with her and understands her, and he has said many times Andrea’s babies are miracles."

“Tabitha is a warm, friendly,(very funny) & accomplished dietitian. I got the achieved results & have been following her wise advice for over 10 years now! She has given me a diet tailor made for me & the results speak for themselves. Tabitha is actually a bit of a superhero to me. I was initially introduced to her via her books but was amazed to find that the author behind the books is as rich & vibrant in person. She is warm, well-articulated & highly knowledgeable in her area of expertise. Her eating plans are tailor made to you as an individual & they are both delicious & easy to follow. After ten years of looking fabulous, I still cannot recommend her enough! Best investment in myself that I have ever made, thank you Tabitha!”
Female patient, V.B. (Sandton)
“I had tried all sorts of "diets" in the past and wondered why I gained all the weight back. I got to a point where I was terrified of food. I was unhappy with how I looked and felt. A friend was seeing Tabitha and recommended that I see her. Since seeing Tabitha I have learned that food isn't the " Big baddy" I have learnt that you can enjoy healthy food and still lose weight. This has also encouraged me to become more active and exercise. I have learnt to love myself again. I have learnt to love food again without the fear and guilt. I have regained my self confidence.”
Female Patient, L.M. (Northriding).
“I’ve lived this life style for over 6 years – lost 20kgs initially and have kept it off - all thanks to your X Diet”
RE, Mowbray, Cape Town
“I have emailed you previously but again would like to take this opportunity to thank you for changing my life. I have become a fat sleuth. After reading “The X Diet” last year I lost 16 kg and I have maintained my weight for 3 months! JS, Claremont, Cape Town. My mom and I recently tried your 7-day metabolism boosting diet from Shape magazine and we both lost about 3kg's in a week. Loved the eating plan because we both train very hard and need something that can equally give us energy.”
LP, Johannesburg
“After reading and applying the principles of The X Diet, I can honestly say that yours is the first “diet” on which I have not felt deprived, hungry, anti social, and uncomfortable or guilty when ordering at a restaurant. My body actually feels normal again, and my energy levels and brain function also feel like they did many years ago. Previous diets put one in a “fog” that seems plastic, somehow!”
