As a Certified Nutritional Consultant and First Line Therapy Lifestyle Educator, I understand that changing your eating habits is not an easy task. This is made that much more difficult by the demands of a job and family. It is hard to break from a bad habit, when that habit enables you to save time or is just made easier because of familiarity. Equally important in changing poor nutrition and eating habits is to replace it with proper nutrition and good eating habits. It does no good to move from one poor habit to the next.
My goal is to help you change your lifestyle to a healthy one. It is a Therapeutic Lifestyle Approach, which incorporates a multi-pronged approach.
Although many of the Therapeutic Lifestyle Plans are offered only through the Fort Worth office. The Therapeutic Life Style plans or portions of the plans may be adjusted to suit non-residents, who would like to work together via telephone and internet. Similarly, those with access to the Fort Worth office will find that they have options in designing a lifestyle approach. I have put together some list of the most popular packages that I offer, of course, even these can be customized.
One of the core services that I offer is weekly menu planning. These meal plans lay out what you need so that it also assists you with grocery shopping. Meal plans are based on numerous factors, including the amount of caloric intake, as well as information the information that you provide. Here is a sample meal plan for one week.

Make “turn-atoes”. Turnips are very inexpensive and add a fantastic peppery flavor to classic mashed potatoes. Turnips help curb free radicals by supplying high quantities of Vitamin C, calcium, folic acid and magnesium. Russet potatoes work best for this “turnatoe” combination; simply use one medium turnip for every large Russet potato. Turnips are high in water content so you can leave out the cream which eliminates even more cost and calories.
Skip the dinner rolls. Rolls can be pricey and are usually made from processed ingredients. Consider buying a hearty loaf of multi-grain bread from a local bakery. You can heat up some of the slices for the Thanksgiving bread basket and have plenty left for your Turkey sandwiches the next day.
Go crustless. Making pies may be tradition but the ingredients for a pie crust are expensive. Plus, 90 percent of pre-made pie crusts available are loaded with saturated fat and hydrogenated oils. Consider giving tradition a new look. Make the filling for your favorite apple pie but cook it over a slow simmer to create homemade apple sauce instead. Serve it warm with vanilla frozen yogurt and no body will miss the crust. You can do the same thing with the filling for a chocolate cream, lemon meringue or butterscotch cream pie; just make the filling and serve it a clear glass bowl with a dollop of homemade whip cream or meringue.
