Karma Clinic

Karma Clinic is a nutrition practice in San Ġwann, in the middle of Malta's busy Sliema to St Julian's corridor. It is led by Daniel Petre, a registered nutritionist who has spent more than 20 years helping people manage their weight, understand their bodies and settle into healthier eating habits. The approach is one-to-one and personal: your lifestyle, food preferences and goals shape the plan, not a generic diet sheet.

On VisitMalta.co.uk the clinic is listed in our directory of nutritionists in Malta, where you can also compare practitioners such as A New Better Life. The clinic welcomes residents and visitors, so it suits a UK reader planning a longer stay as well as someone who already lives here.

Nutrition plans and weight management

The core of the practice is the personal nutrition plan. Daniel builds it around your daily routine, eating habits, health background and body composition, with the aim of giving you a way of eating that fits real life instead of a short-term diet. Where it helps, you receive meal plans and recipes, and the programme is reviewed and adjusted as you progress.

Slimming and detox programmes sit alongside this, combining nutrition guidance, practical meal planning, regular monitoring and one-to-one support. The clinic also runs an online slimming app for remote weight loss, and promotes the FitMalta app, which pairs meal plans with workouts and progress tracking. The emphasis is on lasting habits once the target is reached, not only on the first few weeks.

Body composition and testing

Scales only tell part of the story, so the clinic offers body composition assessments. Depending on the test used, measurements can include body fat, muscle mass, visceral fat and body water, and these give a more useful starting point for a programme. A scan called myBodyScan reports on body composition, metabolic age and visceral fat in under 90 seconds, and the testing menu also includes ultrasound body composition and body stat tests.

Other tests include food intolerance, allergy and coeliac tests, a wellness score test, an oxidative stress test and a DNA test linked to diet, with the genetic work handled by a laboratory that meets EU clinical laboratory standards. Results are considered alongside your diet and lifestyle. Anything persistent or worrying should be taken to your doctor, and this page offers no medical advice.

How the programme works

You begin with a free consultation covering your goals, current diet, lifestyle and relevant health history, with measurements where appropriate. From there you receive a personalised plan, which is monitored and adapted over time, followed by help to build habits that last. Weekly measurements and a fresh eating plan with recipes are part of the slimming programme.

The clinic site also carries a growing library of recipes, including Mediterranean meals, salads, soups, smoothies, vegetarian, low carbohydrate, gluten free, low salt and keto dishes, plus articles on heart health, cholesterol, metabolism and menopause nutrition.
