Premier Female Personal Trainers Frisco, Texas

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

Let’s start with some basic education. Virtually every personal trainer claims to be a nutrition expert. While in fact, not many have any formal education apart from a weekend course in nutrition. They get the majority of their knowledge much the same way you do; watching TV and reading what they happen to find on the web. 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 really fully understand very little. They often call themselves “nutritionists” because there’s 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. To become an RD/LD they must have a four year degree in dietetics, complete an extensive internship at a medical 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 together with medical doctors as part of a health care provider team.

 

Our approach to eating healthy is also different than you’ll find elsewhere. Our female dieticians work with our clients to help them change their eating style one meal at a time, over time. For example, during your initial consultation with one of our dieticians they’ll talk to you about what you currently eat for breakfast, changes that you are willing to make, and food that you like to eat. From there, they will recommend small changes that won’t overwhelm you and that you’ll enjoy. Subsequent consultations will take place to find out how you are 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 account 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 suggests using supplements they will 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, without any 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 as much as 80% of what you paid for the vitamins. We believe this approach is unhealthy and highly unethical.

 

Bottom line, we’ve spent years understanding 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.
