My ROLE as a Nutrition and Wellness Consultant:
1]To assist my clients in developing healthy eating habits as a part of a permanent life-style change.
I do not recommend the use of “fad” or “low carb” diets , [yes, I just put low carb diets in the same class as fad diets] weight loss drugs, surgery, or any other “quick fix” weight loss methods, however, if you chose to use any of these weight loss plans, that is your choice and I will support your choice. I am prohibited by AFPA guidelines to counsel clients who choose to consume too much protein. The protien limit should be no more than 15% of the total caloric limit.
2]To offer PERSONALIZED, DETAILED, and BALANCED nutritionally sound meal planning strategies, based on the individual clients age, starting weight, activity level, and other necessary considerations.
3]To discuss and advise on weight management plans, whether your goal is to GAIN weight, LOSE weight, or MAINTAIN your current weight.
