Nutritional Consulting in Northern Kentucky

Most experts estimate that nutrition accounts for approximately 75% of your total progress. We would have to agree. Over the years, we have worked with clients from all different backgrounds with a wide array of goals and experience.

The general public is confused about nutrition. With so many false claims, half truths, and miracle pills and products; most are unable to separate the hype from the truth. This consultation is designed to bring your understanding of nutrition to a completely new level!

Here's what you'll learn through our Nutritional Consulting:

• To establish a proper eating schedule:
  Understand the importance of nutrient timing and how to not only accelerate your metabolism, but also create higher levels of energy and strength. The right foods eaten at the wrong time sabotage your efforts in getting a leaner, healthier body. Learn how to prepare smaller meals throughout the day, consisting of the right combination of foods.
• Types and sources of food you should be eating:
  Learn how to choose and combine the right sources of protein, carbohydrates, fats and fibers at each meal by using our comprehensive list of foods. This list includes lean, non-processed meats, low glycemic index carbohydrates (starches and vegetables) and unsaturated, non-trans fats.
• To feed muscle and starve fat:
  Most people find themselves following diets that result in a loss of both; muscle and fat. This causes a reduction in metabolic function, reducing the amount of calories your body is able to burn on a daily basis. Maintaining muscle tissue is an important part of any fitness program. Muscle allows you to burn more body fat by supporting a higher metabolism. This helps you avoid the dreaded “plateau” we often see in most weight loss programs.
• To implement nutrition into your daily life:
  Rather than taking on the world all at once and attempting to change everything in an instant, we will show you how to make necessary adjustments on a gradual, but consistent basis. The term we use here is “Gradual Progression.” Smaller changes made over a longer period of time lead to greater consistency and long-term progress, as compared to changing too much at once and feeling too restricted or overwhelmed. It’s a balance of what is possible vs. what is manageable. Each person is different and because of this, our approach with each client is different as well.
• Your % of body fat:
  Not many people are excited to learn these numbers, and for a good reason. You wouldn’t ask for the help of a trainer if you didn’t feel uncomfortable with your body to some extent. Despite the initial discomfort, this knowledge is vital to you and your trainer in order to set specific goals, track your progress and assess which adjustments need to be made in your program.
• To read nutrition labels and understand them:
  Reading your labels is just the beginning. You need to know what the “terms” mean and understand what you are REALLY getting from each food product that you purchase. Learn the difference between Micronutrients and Macronutrients and how food companies only tell you half-truth’s about their products. Know what you are putting into your body and understand the effect each ingredient has on you.
• To plan and prepare your own meals:
  Whether on the road or at home, learning to plan and prepare keeps the odds of success in your favor. Our society has become too dependant on fast foods, frozen dinners, unhealthy snacks and skipping meals. You will learn how to avoid this common trap and take back the power to make healthy eating choices. Last minute decisions often end in regrettable outcomes. Consistency is the most important ingredient in any fitness program. Without proper planning and preparation all hopes of being consistent are gone.
