Premier Ladies McKinney Personal Trainer

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 personal trainer claims to be a nutrition expert. While in fact, hardly any have had any formal training aside from a weekend course in nutrition. They get the majority of their knowledge the same way you do; watching television and reading what they happen to find on the web. Some even offer free meal plans; which are created by a software program they bought or a subscription to an on-line service. Bottom line, they really fully understand very little. They often call themselves “nutritionists” because there is simply no licensing or qualification needed to be called a “nutritionist”.

 

At Lady Trainers To Go, we take a different approach. 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 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’re qualified to work alongside medical professionals as part of a health care provider team.

 

Our approach to maintaining a healthy diet is also different than you will find anywhere else. Our female dieticians work with our clients to help them transform their eating habits 1 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, adjustments that you’re 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 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 difficult to stick to, 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 well on your own so you can make the right decisions in 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 know 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 tell you is they get a commission check back from the vitamin company for up to 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 the education that you need along with your personal trainer.
