Working with a personal trainer helps keep you motivated to achieve your weight loss goals

Nutritional Counseling

Determine personal calorie requirements to help you achieve the weight loss you want in a safe manner
Develop a meal plan based on specific macronutrient requirements
Recommend foods that are good for you and that will also help you avoid hunger pangs

The amount of calories you need in your diet depends on how active you are, your metabolism, and your fitness goals. Andrew can recommend the proper amount of macronutrients (protein, fats, and carbohydrates) to have in your diet and suggest healthy foods that will provide these macronutrients in the right quantities. Certain foods can increase your metabolism, making it easier for you to lose weight more quickly.
Eating the right amounts of healthy foods also helps to reduce hunger pangs, which is important to your ultimate success. Many clients find it helpful to eat smaller meals more often– for example, five times a day instead of three. Remember, the best diet in the world will be ineffective if you can’t stay with it!
