You might not be familiar with what goes into working with a Dietitian<\/a>, but something inside you made you take the leap to contact us.\u00a0 At this point in time, you completed your discovery call which is our first verbal interaction.\u00a0 You have shared with us your goals, which might be that you are looking to control your blood sugars because you have a history of diabetes, you want to lose weight in a safe way or be a good example of healthy eating habits for your kids.\u00a0 From our conversation, you recognize that we at Simple Start Nutrition got you covered!\u00a0 Now your scheduled appointment is approaching, and you find yourself getting nervous and excited.\u00a0 What is next?\u00a0 You wonder, how do we work as a team to make these goals a reality?\u00a0 Here are some tips to focus on so you get the most our of your sessions with your Dietitian.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Secrets Secrets are no fun, unless you Share with your Dietitian\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

You won\u2019t succeed if you hold back bits and pieces of the story.\u00a0 Your Dietitian needs to hear it ALL.\u00a0 If you are eating 10 cookies every night before bed, tell us!\u00a0 I promise you we are not scary and will not judge you in any way.\u00a0 The reason we want you to share this information with us is because we want to help you!\u00a0 Together as a team we want to come up with a game plan to decrease the number of cookies.\u00a0 We got this!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

You in the back, Listening Up!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\u00a0Yes, you!\u00a0 During one on one sessions or sessions you are completing with your significant other, all information is important.\u00a0 The time you spend with your Dietitian is your time to absorb as much information as possible so you can take it away and make positive changes towards your goals.\u00a0 That being said, put the phone on silent, take our telehealth appointment in a quiet place and try not to multitask during it.\u00a0 It is totally okay to jot some notes down during sessions, but try to listen to the recommendations and goals the best that you can so we can see you succeed!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Consistent is Key\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

If you work with me, you probably hear me say this over and over again during our sessions.\u00a0It\u2019s the truth.\u00a0Just like when you learn to play an instrument, you need to keep practicing to get better.\u00a0In the nutrition world, you need to practice your goals regularly until your body begins to process it more efficiently and regularly.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

After a while, or about 8 weeks, we find these new practices become a part of our daily regimen.\u00a0 For example, if your goal is to go to cycling class every Monday, you might find weeks 1-3 are easy to get to and fun, but by week 4-6 you are struggling to get to class and want to give up.\u00a0 Here is where you should hear me say \u201cconsistency is key!\u201d Keep pushing!\u00a0 In a few short weeks you might find a friend ask you to go to dinner on a Monday and you respond, \u201csorry\u2026 I have my fitness class to go to.\u201d\u00a0 Yes! Yes! Yes!\u00a0 That means we made that cycle class a part of your daily routine.\u00a0 Don\u2019t give up. It\u2019s possible to make the change!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Questions? Comments? Concerns?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

If you are questioning what the goals are, or don\u2019t understand the recommendations made by your Dietitian, please let us know!\u00a0 We are here to help YOU and make it as clear as we can so you move towards your goals.\u00a0 If you are not eating enough calories and I say \u201ceat more\u201d without an explanation, ask why!\u00a0 We want to share our knowledge of proper nutrition and how our body uses food as fuel.\u00a0 Again, these counseling sessions are all about you, so take advantage of them!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Be Humble and Kind\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

A new client of mine just told me she danced at her son\u2019s wedding to \u201cBe humble and Kind\u201d by Tim McGraw.\u00a0 Be kind to yourself stood out to me.\u00a0 Not every goal that we create is going to be an easy one (most are not easy at all actually!), but as long as we are trying to work towards it we are moving in the right direction.\u00a0 Change does not happen overnight and we need to understand that. So be kind to yourself and keep trucking along because with time, we can see change!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Overall our time together is precious and all about YOU!\u00a0 Take advantage of it because we at Simple Start Nutrition want to see you succeed and reach your goals.\u00a0 That is our goal!\u00a0 Let\u2019s practice together as a team and make it happen!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

We are here to help!<\/p>\n
