Nutrition Tip: If you are looking to shed a few pounds, writing down what you eat is an important habit to have. Journaling can make you more aware of what you are eating and less likely to overeat or eat the "wrong" foods.
Services
Initial Consultation: Your current eating pattern will be explored and recommendations made to help you achieve your nutritional goals. Meal planning is discussed and specific recommendations are made to help you know exactly what types of food and how much you should be eating. Skills are taught such as accurately estimating portion sizes, journaling, menu planning, and healthy eating out, among many others. An initial consultation is an hour appointment.
Metabolism Testing: The first step in any nutrition program is knowing how your body uses the foods that you eat for energy. Your resting metabolic rate can be tested using the BodyGem device. BodyGem is the only metabolism testing apparatus that has been independently validated against the best available standard for metabolism testing. Understanding your metabolism is key to knowing how much to eat to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. A metabolism test requires 30 minutes.
