Benefits of Professional Eating Guidance at Transforming Strength

1. Customized Nutrition Services

Eating On Purpose isn’t a one-size-fits-all nutrition coaching philosophy. While there are countless “diet plans” out there that simply offer generic eating plans, these options almost always fail to consider each individual’s unique needs, exercise background and requirements, and lifestyle factors. In addition, many inexperienced trainers simply tell their clients to abstain from eating certain macro groups, usually carbohydrates, to cut calories. The problem with this haphazard diet advice is that it fails to teach people how to eat in a way that is set up for long term success, including a nutrition plan that provides a balanced supply of nutrients right for his/her body to recover and perform, accomplish specific fitness or weight loss goals or eat in a way that is even realistic for their individual lifestyle. An experienced nutrition coach, on the other hand, builds a customized nutrition program designed around you and based on long-standing and proven science and results.

2. Nutrition Adjustments

Equally important are the adjustments made by your coach. A qualified nutrition coach will be able to adjust a client’s food intake based on not only body changes or changing goals, but also because of sleep patterns, stress, recovery, energy level, and performance. Nutritional coaching requires a knowledgeable professional who can monitor a client’s progress and makes program changes based on the solid, real-life data collected from the client. Nutrition changes should always be well planned, systematic, and precise for each client’s needs, as opposed to the guessing game many packaged diets and under-qualified trainers offer.

3. Accountability

Likewise, a sound nutrition plan should include accountability as a cornerstone of success, with the coach setting dates and requiring open communication with the client. Expectations should also be set for following the prescribed plan that has been designed for them. We typically check-in weekly for most programs, with a food journal and spiral body scan results.

4. Meal Planning

By the same token, a qualified trainer will assist the client in formulating healthy meal plans that not only meet their nutritional needs but also fuel their workouts for both performance and recovery. Additionally, as with your coaching at Transforming Strength, the process of meal prepping should be covered in a way that allows the client to feel they can be successful at having clean eating options on hand for their lifestyle. My approach not only accomplishes this but also helps the client to understand the difference between starvation and fueling for a healthy body and how this perception change can make all the difference.

5. Encouragement

Of course, we all struggle with healthy eating at times. Sometimes it’s a special occasion that derails us and other times we may have simply failed to prepare ahead of time. The bottom line is everyone struggles and will have days when lack of motivation or temptation bumps us off track, but hiring me as your nutrition coach will ensure you are never alone in the process. I will be there to support and encourage you on those tough days and will help you mentally overcome your challenges.

6. Progress Tracking

In a like manner, tracking can be a real drag. When I first started as a personal trainer, I encouraged clients to count calories. We later moved to macros. In both cases, we used every tracking method you can think of. None of them were fun. Most importantly, they didn’t teach my clients much, other than they hated tracking. Nowadays, my clients DO NOT count calories or macros, use any apps or even use a bodyweight scale very often. Instead, I teach whole food adjustment. I know the calorie and macro distribution on my end, but I teach my clients how to eat and make whole food adjustments. Tracking is done with a couple of strokes of the pen in an old-school notebook. Progress is measured by a free body scan tool. When it comes to fitness and diet, simple is quite often better, and I will help you master these simple tools.

7. Nutritional Expertise

Not only is the world of nutrition full of a wide spectrum of opinions, but it is also littered with a ton of misinformation that simply doesn’t work for the person looking to get healthy for the rest of their life. While there are many myths and false information about the what and when of food, I will help you wade through this sea of misinformation. My advice will be based on not only cutting-edge scientific research but also what has produced consistent results for thousands of my clients. Your days of following the trendy pop culture diets are over.

8. Educational Coaching

Uniquely, I am not here to simply train or tell you what to do or eat. My style models after the teacher/student. I prefer to teach my clients about sound nutrition principles. I don’t want you to need my help forever. The sooner I can get you the knowledge you need to be successful on your own, the better. It is my belief all coaching should be an empowering experience for the client and learning how to deal with food is no different.

9. Eating for Life

Coupled with my coaching style, is my focus on teaching you how to eat for life. This includes evaluating where you are now and then helping you make adjustments to get you to where you want to be. You will have a strategy that takes into account your background, health needs, family and lifestyle demands and fuels you to recover and perform.
