Permier Ladies Personal Trainer Plano Texas

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

Let’s begin with a little basic education. Just about every single personal trainer claims to be a nutrition expert. When in fact, hardly any have any formal training aside from a weekend class in nutrition. They get the vast majority of their information much the same way you do; watching television and reading whatever they happen to find on-line. Some even provide free meal plans; which are created by a software program they bought or a subscription to an on-line service. Bottom line, they actually fully understand almost nothing. They may call themselves “nutritionists” because there’s no licensing or qualification necessary to be called a “nutritionist”.

 

At Lady Trainers To Go, we have a different approach. Every member of our women’s nutrition staff is a Registered and Licensed Dietician, in medical terms an RD/LD. To become an RD/LD they must have a four year degree in dietetics, complete an extensive internship at a healthcare facility, pass an exhaustive 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 medical professionals 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 1 meal at a time, over time. As an 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 there, they’ll recommend small changes that won’t overwhelm you and that you’ll enjoy. Subsequent consultations will take place to find out how you’re doing with the changes they recommended, make adjustments if needed, and cover other meals and snacking.

 

Exactly why do we take this “one meal at a time” approach? It’s simple. Meal plans are notoriously hard to stick with, overwhelm you with massive changes to your diet, don’t take into consideration 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 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 purchase 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, with no 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 learning 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 in conjunction with your personal trainer.
