Nutrition is a under-recognized aspect of good health. Proper diet will improve energy levels and stop the dreaded post-lunch “crash” that so many people experience. COS offers a comprehensive nutritional analysis that complements our health appraisals and, when integrated with a training program, optimizes results.
Options
Dietary analysis and consultation
This three-day analysis of your eating habits compares your nutrient intake with nutrient requirements, taking into account fitness levels and your goals of either gaining or losing weight. Clients will be provided with a report that includes a meal record and calories obtained from each food group, nutrient requirements, and percentages reached for each requirement. Analyzing the meal journal also helps identify any eating patterns that may be leading to health risks. This consultation provides education on the basics of healthy eating, depending on the client’s goal, and also outlines how much and when to eat to optimize energy and decrease health risks. Personal meal plans are provided with grocery lists to help you prepare the best meals with the right foods.
Follow-ups
Assessment of progress and consultation will be done regularly and new strategies integrated into your nutrition plan. Topics of further interest can also be discussed during these assessments, such as:
- Requirements for fitness performance
- Tips for traveling and Eating out
- How to read food labels
- Personal grocery shopping
- Minerals and Osteoporosis
- Carbs, Diabetes, and Hypoglycemia
- Energy Balance
