Premier Ladies Irving Personal Trainer

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

Let’s begin with a little basic education. Nearly every single personal trainer claims to be a nutrition expert. While in reality, not many have had any formal training other than a weekend course in nutrition. They get the vast majority of their information exactly the same way you do; watching television and reading whatever they happen to find on-line. Several even offer free meal plans; which are produced by a software program they bought or a subscription to an on-line service. Bottom line, they actually know almost nothing. They may call themselves “nutritionists” because there’s simply no licensing or qualification necessary to be called a “nutritionist”.

 

At Lady Trainers To Go, we have a different approach. Each and every member of our women’s nutrition staff is a Registered and Licensed Dietician, in medical terms an RD/LD. In order to become an RD/LD they have to have a four year degree in dietetics, complete an extensive internship at a medical 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 together with doctors as part of a health care provider team.

 

Our approach to maintaining a healthy diet is also different than you will find elsewhere. Our female dieticians work with our clients to help them transform their eating habits 1 meal at a time, over time. As an example, during your initial consultation with one of our dieticians they will talk to you about what you currently eat for breakfast, changes you are willing to make, and food that you like to eat. From there, they will recommend small changes that won’t overwhelm you and you will enjoy. Subsequent consultations will take place to find out how you are doing with the changes they recommended, make modifications if required, and cover other meals and snacking.

 

Exactly why do we take this “one meal at a time” approach? It’s simple. Meal plans are infamously 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’ll explain why they’ve made the recommendation and let you know where you can get the supplements.

 

It’s important for you to be aware that personal trainers are constantly being contacted by vitamin companies to sell supplements. So they’ll frequently, without any medical basis, sell you the supplements a vitamin company recommends. What they don’t let you know is they get a commission check back from the vitamin company for up to 80% of what you paid for the vitamins. We believe this approach is unhealthy and highly unethical.

 

Bottom line, we have 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 which will last a lifetime, we’re the only service that will provide you the education that you need along with your personal trainer.
