With eating disorders, what is your approach?

This is not a diet! You will not be forced food or use extreme restriction. You will be working in small steps to achieve your personal nutrition and life goals. As a nutrition consultant treating eating disorders, Sally works with clients individually seeking their personal goals and needs for recovery. Treatment is highly individualized and deals with weight issues, food issues, behavioral change, and emotional issues related to food. Meal plans are individualized, dynamic, flexible, and constantly changing. Nutrition counseling includes education on food issues, metabolism, body image, self-care, exercise, stress relief, among other topics related to food issues. Success is determined by commitment, involvement, and communication. Information exchange between client and nutritional consultant is strictly confidential.

I know a lot about food and nutrition, but can’t lose weight. Can you help?

Types of food, balance and timing can make a difference. Many times we know what to eat… but why can’t we follow through? That’s where Bodyfuel, Inc. can help. The first step is to evaluate your individual needs through a nutritional assessment that includes body composition, metabolic evaluation, and nutrition and medical history. Then we work with you to make changes that work… sometimes a lot of changes and other times minor changes will make a difference. It could be the behavioral aspects, hunger, or getting in tune with your physical body needs.

What about follow up visits?

Don’t expect to change overnight. One way to receive comprehensive services over a time frame is to purchase a package of several appointments. This is the most cost effective way for continued follow up. Bodyfuel offers continuous email feedback with clients. Bodyfuel’s online nutrition tracking for a low monthly fee or as included in packages is a great way to stay on target while gaining knowledge about nutrition.

Do you provide services if I do not live close to your office?

Bodyfuel, Inc provides ongoing services by internet and phone coaching. Phone coaching packages gives accountability and changes for those traveling or not available for in office counseling. The new interactive nutrition tracking program helps clients make changes in their meal plans and continued accountability.
