Q&A with Nicole Nutrition Client: Sara

Paint me a picture of what your relationship with nutrition and other health habits was like before working together. What wasn’t working or was frustrating you most?

I definitely was a yo-yo dieter before we started working together. I’d count calories/macros like crazy for several weeks/months, then I’d fall off the wagon and kind of do whatever I wanted, just to count calories again a few weeks later. I tried to limit my carb intake as much as possible because you’re taught “carbs are bad.” Nothing I was doing was working for me, no matter how hard I tried.

Since working together on your nutrition and wellness, what’s been the most positive change in your health? What about in your life?

I don’t stress about food 24/7 anymore. Sure there are days that I think about it, but it doesn’t consume my day-to-day anymore. I’ve learned I need carbs to perform in the gym/daily life at my best. Nothing is “off-limits” anymore. I can eat anything in moderation and not feel overwhelmed if a day isn’t “on track.”

Did you have any hesitations before working with a dietitian? What pushed you over the fence and convinced you it was worth it?

I was worried about not being on a diet. How do you lose weight or be healthy and not be on a diet?? I finally decided to go for it when I started training for a half marathon. I knew I’d need proper guidance on how to fuel my body and eat the right things.

If you were to tell a friend about working with Nicole, what would you say? Why did you choose her? And why did you choose now?

I found Nicole through a mutual friend via Instagram. I read through her website and some of her posts and really liked her approach to food and being a “non-diet” dietitian. I’d never head of that before I met Nicole and it really intrigued me. She’s so kind, and really wants to help you become the best version of yourself.

After working with Nicole, I’ve been able to…

Eat carbs without fear. Enjoy going out with friends more, and not let food thoughts consume me.

Together, Nicole and I were able to finally _______, something I’ve been (avoiding/putting/scared to try) off for too long. If you’re on the hunt for a dietitian coach, Nicole is your (girl/person/go-to)! She…

Get me off dieting, and help me listen to what my body needs and wants. Nicole knows her stuff and I highly recommend her!
