Is a nutrition coach different than a diet?
Oh my goodness - yes.
A billion times yes.
Diets:
“forbidden” foods
fridge full of kale you’ll never eat
strict plan with “good” foods and “bad” foods
your favorite cookies are off limits
start date, end date - then the day after the end date, you sit at a Chinese buffet all day
A diet tells you exactly what to do, without knowing you you are. Diets don’t care you have a late night work meeting, your Grandma’s birthday party or an obsession with sourdough bread.
Working with a nutrition coach is different:
there’s no forbidden foods
you don’t have to eat things you despise
I yell at you if you label food “good” or “bad’ - food has no morale value; it’s not going to cheat on you
I encourage you to split that Crumbl cookie with your husband, and will give you the stink eye if you’re eating too “perfectly” - it’s not realistic.
no finish line - this is a lifestyle
When we work together, we focus on creating habits through small changes so that eventually it’s simply your life - it’s not a diet. In fact, my clients often tell me they “don’t know what diet” I’m supposed to tell people I’m on.
Yes, this happens. My clients see results, people notice and they’re stressed because they aren’t on a diet.
Having a coach means you have accountability - means, you don’t eat an entire pizza, a row of Oreos and say “**** it, I’m starting over Monday.” You text me instead:)
I’m in your corner, I’m working with your life, your nutrition, your schedule, your late night cookie cravings - all of it.
And I teach you ways you can change your life to lose weight for good.
Diets suck. Stop doing them.
