Dietitian I'm just a Georgia peach who loves food and has a passion for helping people! I will be honest; this journey will not be easy. Let's go!

I am a registered dietitian who has been in the fitness field for over 15 years as an instructor and personal trainer. Finding that people struggle the most with food and nutrition, it is my mission to help others understand that they can enjoy ALL foods and focus on making lifestyle changes that are practical. Practical means "of an idea, plan, or method) likely to succeed or be effective in real circumstances; feasible" according to google. Most people tend to focus on trending "fad" diets which we all know usually lead to failure or even worse, dreadful weight gain. These diets are not practical, will not last, and will definitely drive you crazy! My approach is to focus on small lifestyle changes that will help to change your mindset in the process while also ensuring success by having an expert accountability partner right there with you to help guide you along the way. It will take some mental toughness, some real hard honesty with me and yourself, and also some determination. The only thing that I ask before you apply to work with me is that you are serious! You are READY to make changes to change your life! If you feel like you have had enough with not achieving the results that you want and are tired of the "Yo-yo" dieting, message me! Start today on a journey that will change your life and make you feel amazing about yourself both inside and out!

🍽️ Master Your Plate with Portion Proportion! 🍲

Hey foodies! 👋 Let's talk about a game-changer when it comes to your health and happiness...proportion of foods on your plate!

You've got a plate full of deliciousness in front of you. 😋 But wait! Before you dive in headfirst, let's take a moment to understand the importance of the proportion and serving sizes of foods. 🤔

🍎 Focusing on 1/2 plate: colorful fruits & vegetables,
1/4 plate: quality source of protein (like fish, eggs, tofu, or pulses),
1/4 plate: Whole grain, seeds, and nuts can help with ⚖️ weight control, support metabolism, improve energy, and support healthy digestion.

🍽️ By managing your proportions and portions you can ensure you get all the essential nutrients your body needs 🥗🥩 🍊 without counting calories or calculating macros.

Here are some practical tips!

🍽️ Plate division: Imagine your plate divided into sections: half for colorful veggies, a quarter for lean protein, and the last quarter for wholesome carbs. 🥦🍗 Keep those ratios in mind to create a balanced meal every time!

🍕 Special occasion foods: When it comes to pizza, cake, or takeout, it's totally fine to indulge! 🍕😉 Just stick to a smaller portion to satisfy your cravings without going overboard.

🕰️ Don't watch the clock: just eat because the clock says so! Tune in to your body's hunger cues, and stop when you're comfortably full. 🧘‍♀️
