Premier Ladies Personal Trainer Frisco Texas

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

Let’s start with a little basic education. Nearly every personal trainer claims to be a nutrition expert. While in reality, not many have had any formal training aside from a weekend training course in nutrition. They get the vast majority of their information the same way you do; watching television and reading whatever they happen to find on the internet. Some even provide free meal plans; which are produced by a program they bought or a subscription to an on-line service. In a nutshell, they actually know very little. They often call themselves “nutritionists” because there is no licensing or qualification necessary to be called a “nutritionist”.

 

At Lady Trainers To Go, we take a different approach. Each and 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 healthcare 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 alongside medical doctors as part of a health care provider team.

 

Our approach to eating healthy is also different than you’ll find elsewhere. Our female dieticians work with our clients to help them transform their eating habits one meal at a time, over time. For example, during your first consultation with one of our dieticians they will talk to you about what you currently eat for breakfast, improvements that you’re willing to make, and food that you like to eat. From there, they’ll recommend small changes that won’t overwhelm you and you will enjoy. Subsequent consultations will take place to see how you are doing with the changes they recommended, make modifications if required, and cover other meals and snacking.

 

Why do we take this “one meal at a time” approach? It’s simple. Meal plans are notoriously 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 well on your own so you can make the right decisions in almost any situation you happen to find yourself in.

 

Finally, if your dietician recommends using supplements they will explain why they’ve made the recommendation and let you know where you can purchase the supplements.

 

It’s important for you to be aware that personal trainers are continuously being contacted by vitamin companies to sell supplements. So they’ll frequently, with no medical basis, sell you the supplements a vitamin company recommends. What they don’t tell you is they get a commission check back from the vitamin company for up to 80% of what you paid for the vitamins. We feel 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 with the education that you need in conjunction with your personal trainer.
