Nutrition Programs
The health industry is huge and there are countless diets out there. Most diets are focused on the short term, trying to achieve a particular set of goals within a fixed period of time. The goals can range from losing weight to reducing blood cholesterol levels. The problem is that most of these diets are not sustainable and sticking to them is just not fun. This is why so many people “fail” and fall into the trap of yo-yo dieting. I don’t believe in starving yourself to the point of not having energy and not feeling good.
My approach to nutrition is healthy, flavorful, and science-based. I believe that when you foster good eating habits, nutrition becomes a natural part of your lifestyle. I provide my clients with programs that range from nailing healthy eating habits, tracking portion sizes, calories or macronutrients (the carbohydrate, fats and proteins).
Macros and Nutrition
Counting calories isn’t the full picture. Where your calories come from (carbohydrates, proteins, fats) is known as macronutrients. They are essential to customized nutrition that precisely meets your health objectives.

By tracking how much of each macronutrient you consume, you can impact many things such as body composition (fat vs muscle mass), energy level, and even your mood. No single macro is responsible for fat gain or loss (you gain fat by eating more calories than you burn).
Tracking macros rather than just calories has several benefits. Keeping protein high enough ensures that you will retain as much lean mass as possible during a dieting phase, and that you will adequately repair and build muscle in a gaining phase. Adequate levels of dietary fats are important for general health. Eating the right amount of carbs allows you to maximize efforts in the gym, and keeps you feeling energized. So while it is your calorie amount that ultimately determines whether you will gain, lose, or maintain your weight, tracking macros allows you to maximize your results.
