My philosophy to healthy eating all revolves around BALANCE! It is so important that you have a good balance of protein, fat & carbohydrates so your body can be satisfied and get all the crucial nutrients that make up such a balanced diet, especially after a killer workout at Blast 900 or whatever your favorite workout routine might be. Many people have the misconception that healthy eating may be boring and hard to maintain. But guess what, I can prove to you that eating healthy can still be TASTY and with a few simple tips it can also be easy. I am a big "foodie' at heart, but even I have realized how delicious healthy food with fresh ingredients can be.
My goal is to research & share well balanced meals that meet my clients' parameters of calories, protein, carbs & fat. I work very hard to come up with a variety of meals that fit these needs while keeping your menus new & exciting.
In addition to providing these insights, I also have clients where I offer weekly meal delivery services tailored to your desires, cooking classes for you and your friends, and catering for private parties. Are you next?
What better way to accelerate your results and hard work of working out then coupling those behaviors with a sensible, well-balanced, delicious diet. Not a diet where you deprive yourself of key nutrients (carbs and fat for example) or where you deprive your taste buds of delicious food. But a diet developed with your goals and taste buds at the forefront.
Can't wait to work together towards a healthy, happy You!
