nutrition

Nutrition is an integral part of any wellness or fitness program. I will help you with strategy and planning, scheduling meals around your workout schedule for maximum results, and acquiring necessary knowledge reading nutritional labels and understanding serving sizes. By educating my clients on body metabolism, caloric balance concept and major nutrient qualities I achieve dramatic results in lifestyle changes. I have many useful motivational tips and behavioral "tricks". For a detailed nutritional plan and specific recommendations I will refer you to a registered nutritionist.

It is recommended for nursing mothers to have five or six small meals, little more than snacks, per day, rather than three larger ones. Like your baby, you will benefit from small nutritious snack that do not overwhelm your system. Keep a bowl of fruit, a full jug of water and a glass always ready next to your favorite spot for nursing the baby. That way, each time you sit down to nurse, you can reach out for a nutritious snack and a good drink of water.
