What You Eat Is Important…and Advice Should Only Be Provided By Licensed Professionals.

Let’s start with some basic education. Almost every single personal trainer claims to be a nutrition expert. When in fact, not many have had any formal training aside from a weekend class in nutrition. They get almost all of their knowledge exactly the same way you do; watching TV and reading what they happen to find online. Several even provide free meal plans; which are produced by a software program they bought or a subscription to an on-line service. In a nutshell, they actually fully understand almost nothing. They often call themselves “nutritionists” because there is simply no licensing or qualification needed to be called a “nutritionist”.

 

At Lady Trainers To Go, we have a different approach. Every member of our ladies nutrition staff is a Registered and Licensed Dietician, in medical terms an RD/LD. In order to become an RD/LD they need to have a four year degree in dietetics, complete an extensive internship at a medical facility, pass a comprehensive test with the American Dietetic Association, and be licensed by the state of Texas. Their extensive knowledge is far from anything a personal trainer can offer and they are qualified to work together with doctors as part of a health care provider team.

 

Our approach to maintaining a healthy diet is also different than you’ll find elsewhere. Our female dieticians work with our clients to help them change their eating style 1 meal at a time, over time. As an example, during your initial consultation with one of our dieticians they will talk to you about what you currently eat for breakfast, adjustments that you’re willing to make, and food that you like to eat. From there, they will recommend small changes that won’t overwhelm you and that you’ll enjoy. Subsequent consultations will take place to find out how you are doing with the changes they recommended, make adjustments if needed, and cover other meals and snacking.

 

Exactly why do we take this “one meal at a time” approach? It’s simple. Meal plans are infamously hard to stick with, overwhelm you with massive changes to your diet, don’t take into account your likes and dislikes, and don’t teach you anything. Our goal is to teach you how to eat correctly on your own so you can make the right choices in almost any situation you happen to find yourself in.

 

Finally, if your dietician suggests using supplements they’ll explain why they’ve made the recommendation and let you know where you can get the supplements.

 

It’s important for you to be aware that personal trainers are continuously being approached by vitamin companies to sell supplements. So they’ll frequently, without any medical basis, sell you the supplements a vitamin company recommends. What they don’t let you know is they get a commission check back from the vitamin company for as much as 80% of what you paid for the vitamins. We believe this approach is unhealthy and highly unethical.

 

Bottom line, we’ve spent years understanding what works best for our clients and it’s a “one meal at a time” approach taught by experts. If you truly want to make a manageable change in your eating habits that will last a lifetime, we’re the only service that will provide you the education that you need in conjunction with your personal trainer.
