With so many choices available today for getting healthy it is no wonder; many of us feel overwhelmed and uncertain of what options are best for us as individuals. Being a Nutritionist it is my job to help my client’s sort through the information, find what makes sense for them and help them implement it into their lifestyles. As a Nutritionist I also do not recommend restrictive diets. These may offer a temporary results, but have no long-term benefits. Restrictive programs include programs that significantly restrict calories, follow a low carb protocol, or focus on a low fat diet. Protein (muscle) is a much faster source of fuel that fat, and these programs usually do nothing more than burn lean tissue resulting in reduced metabolic rate (muscle burns calories, less muscle the lower your metabolism). The truth is you can avoid these types of programs and still achieve amazing results! The Trick? Well there really is none. There is no fad diet or trick that will help you achieve a healthy body weight or prevent disease. Really the SECRET is in a term, a type of lifestyle that once implemented will do nothing short of change your life! What you need is a HOLISTIC LIFESTYLE. If you want permanent and long-term results, if you want lots of energy, to sleep well, have less stress and just love life more, you will find that in incorporating a more holistic way of life. So what is this Holistic Lifestyle I am talking about? Well let’s go through it together. What is NOT a Holistic Lifestyle First lets look at what is NOT a Holistic Lifestyle...

Alisa: I'm definitely interested in this. My new boyfriend is actually obese but in a better place than he had been mentally to start addressing his horrendous eating habits. Please keep me informed. I'm also planning on talking to him about both of us seeing you for a customized option. Hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday season. Jan
