Preeminent Ladies Personal Trainer Irving 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 single personal trainer claims to be a nutrition expert. While in reality, not many have had any formal education apart from a weekend training course in nutrition. They get most of their knowledge exactly the same way you do; watching TV and reading what they happen to find online. Some even offer free meal plans; which are created by a program they bought or a subscription to an on-line service. In a nutshell, they really fully understand very little. They often call themselves “nutritionists” because there is no licensing or qualification needed to be called a “nutritionist”.

 

At Lady Trainers To Go, we take 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 provide and they’re qualified to work alongside doctors as part of a health care provider team.

 

Our approach to maintaining a healthy diet is also different than you’ll find elsewhere. Our female dieticians work with our clients to help them change their eating habits one meal at a time, over time. For example, during your first consultation with one of our dieticians they’ll talk to you about what you currently eat for breakfast, changes you are willing to make, and food that you like to eat. From that point, they will recommend small changes that won’t overwhelm you and you will enjoy. Subsequent consultations will take place to find out how you’re 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 difficult 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 correctly on your own so you can make the right choices in any situation you happen to find yourself in.

 

Finally, if your dietician suggests supplementation they will 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 approached 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 as much as 80% of what you paid for the vitamins. We feel 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 that will last a lifetime, we’re the only service that will provide you with the education that you need along with your personal trainer.
