At the International Sports Medicine Institute, there is a formula for daily water intake: 1/2 ounce per pound of body weight if you're not active (that's ten eight-ounce glasses if you weigh 160 pounds), and 2/3 ounce per pound if you're athletic (13 to 14 glasses a day, at the same weight.).

Women should avoid foods containing excess phosphorous (soft drinks, meats, and processed cheeses), since this can increase bone loss by competing with calcium for absorption.

Philosophy-

Each customized program is based more on overall health and disease prevention than just weight loss.  It is about providing you with information on how your body works and how it processes foods.  Using this approach you will be more likely to make better food choices and, as an end result, excess body weight (fat weight) will be lost, and the percentage of lean weight will increase.

Approach-

Each program begins with a current dietary assessment and a basic education on food science.  In each session, we will discuss your metabolism, meal plans, reasonable substitutions, and how to eat a healthy and well-balanced diet for the rest of your life.  Special dietary programs for vegetarians, vegans, diabetics, and those suffering from food allergies will be covered, as needed.  Also, you will be provided with information regarding vitamin supplements, increasing and maintaining bone health, and sleep recommendations.

Individuality-

No one diet works for everyone. A nutritious and appetizing personal plan is created and  tailored to help each client with a variety of specific concerns that range from weight loss, food intolerances, proper sports nutrition, increasing energy, and/or or simply improving overall well-being. The custom nutritional consulting services provide an opportunity to make positive changes in your eating habits without compromising taste, thus greatly increasing the likelihood of sustained nutritional health.

Active/Sports Nutrition-

Whether you plan to hike, paddle, or run, you will need to eat enough of the right kind of calories to sustain your energy.  Depending on your goals, we will discuss how to eat before, during, and after physical activity.  Also, we will customize a strategic plan for both endurance and building muscle.

Adolescents-

Programs can be designed for young people that include basic instruction on nutrition, human physiology, portion sizes and physical activities, and how to read nutrition labels.

Weightloss-

If your main goal is to lose body fat, we will discuss why low calorie, rapid weight-loss diet programs do not work for the long term and how they increase fat storage and increase appetite.  Custom meal plans will be provided to ensure a healthy well-balanced diet, which will help you avoid feeling food deprived, maintain high energy levels during activities, and contiuously burn excess fat.
