Nutritional Counseling
There are millions, literally millions, of overweight people in America. Most of them have tried diets, some have tried counseling, and a few have even tried hypnosis in their quest to be thin. From battery powered 'shocker belts' to surgery, people will try anything to lose those extra pounds!
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be anyone on 'our side' in this battle. Unscrupulous salesmen and con-artists are all too willing to sell us 'magic potions' that don't work. All we have to do is give them some money and we lose weight without any effort! Sounds great, doesn't it? Sad to say, it never works that way.
There are two approaches toward weight management. The first is the 'magic theory'. The magic theory often incorporates restricted-calorie starvation diets, pills, hypnosis, prepackaged foods, etc. You may remember the infamous liquid diets, grapefruit diets, amphetamine diet pills, the Hollywood Diet, Scarsdale Diet Plans and most recently the 'fen-phen' diet fad. The magic theory approach is appealing because it requires no responsibility. You simply fall into a 'system' and 'they' tell you what to do. You don't even need to think (you just need to suffer!). The system has all the answers. And if you fail, well, then it's your fault because you weren't a good dieter. The magic theory has left millions of people in hopeless despair in their never-ending quest to be thin.
Dieting in particular can be especially confusing. We all know someone that has lost some weight while on a diet. Perhaps they've even kept it off for a few years! What's wrong with that? The problem with diets is that dieting is temporary, and even worse, dieting often sabotages our long-term goals!
Here at Pick Up The PaceTM, the main point we try to convey to our members is that diets are not the key to effective, permanent weight loss! The only way to achieve everlasting weight management is to engage in resistance exercise on a regular basis and make permanent dietary changes. At Pick Up The PaceTM, we are not just interested in helping you lose weight. Instead, we focus on helping you lose fat. With our Running Start nutritional counseling program, we specialize in helping you make permanent lifestyle changes that will take the fat off and keep it off for good.
Our 12-week Running Start nutritional counseling program is designed to give you the education and tools you need to succeed. Each week for 12 consecutive weeks you will receive a personalized menu plan and several educational articles designed just for you. We track your progress on a weekly basis by weighing, measuring, and most importantly by analyzing your body-fat percentage. The emphasis is placed on achieving permanent success.
So if you're tired of the yo-yo diets and the promises, it's time to get serious. It's time to join the women of Pick Up The PaceTM and enroll in our Running Start program. The only thing you have to lose is the fat!
