Rev Up Your Nutrition Program With A Dietitian
Working with a dietician is a great way to kick start healthy living. I grew up in a household with my mom as a dietitian and it definitely has impacted me in a positive way. I make better decisions because of the knowledge I have on the subject. A good dietician will always tell you to use portion control. Buy smaller plates is the first rule. My mother served dinner on our plates and brought to the table. We were rarely served family style and if we wanted seconds, it had to be vegetables first. I was not a fan of this rule when I was a child but I love that trick now with my own children. If you are looking for some advice I have found a great local dietetic group called, Riverfront Nutrition Associates,who are nutritional counselors which specialize in weight loss and nutritional therapy for specific medical conditions. They have three offices in Bergen county. They offer one-on-one sessions, metabolism testing and lifetime nutritional advice. Each session is individualized to the clients needs, tastes, goals and lifestyle. Check to see if they take your insurance. You must make an appointment. If you are looking for that extra push, this may be just what the doctor ordered.
