NUTRITION at the SPEED OF LIFE!
Sound bites for busy people.

We are juggling more responsibilities and commitments than ever before. We have more work worries, job stress, and obligations that steal time and energy away from our families and personal fun. To help us keep up with the speed of life, food manufacturers are happy to pump out thousands of new convenience, ready-to-serve foods every year to help us cut corners. The fast food industry has set up locations in every community to provide us with take-away food to gobble down hastily. In some cases, eating has become a nuisance and something else to check off the "to-do" list. We eat out, at our desk at work, in our car, and in front of the TV... in many cases we eat unconsciously everywhere but the kitchen table with our families. But does sacrificing time to eat really help us? Hear Andrea speak about the fascinating value of the family meal and what we can learn from other captivating cultures around the world. Andrea will stir up the notion that how you eat is as important as what you eat, and will inspire you to look at eating as something more than just for health and energy, but for nourishing enjoyment and relationships. Andrea's voice of reason amongst a maze of clutter will guide you through a journey of reconnecting with food, trimming time traps, and building a roaring reliable routine that will help you balance the speed of life and healthy eating.

Bite-sized Changes for SUPERSIZED RESULTS
Nutrition for better energy, health and weight management.

We live in a culture of "quick-fix" solutions that attempt to sell us energy, health, and weight loss... fast. The trouble is, buying into a quick-fix won't fuel a long-term solution. When you strive for radical change, set rigid goals and deprive yourself of enjoyable foods, you set yourself up to fail and revert back to your old habits. What if instead of an "extreme makeover" you decided to set realistic goals and learned how to challenge yourself to succeed rather than fail? Andrea highlights what you can learn from the hundreds of past clients she has seen trying to make change. Learn what not to do from those she calls the "stuck-strugglers" and find out the best strategies used by her clients she considers the "shaker-movers." Andrea will leave you with her top 5 places to focus your intention (FYI) and encourage you to consider that imperfect is perfect. Little changes in your eating can have profound changes in your energy, health and weight management each day. If you take nibbles at the big nutrition goals you are striving for, you will get there faster than you think – and be able to stick with them!

The Weight of the World
Uplifting views from a Chocoholic Dietitian.

We are a nation obsessed with controlling our food and weight. We are surrounded by fast food, "all you can eat" buffets, fat and calorie-laden convenience foods and portion distortion. At the same time we are obsessed with dieting, underweight fashion models, gimmicks and the "latest and greatest" cure-all health books. There are "fat-free, low-carb, low-calorie, high-fibre" specialty foods with a promise for weight loss and health. There are lists of "good foods" and "bad foods", and programs that replace meals with boxed portioned food and special shakes or bars. Andrea believes we live in a culture that is ironically saying "eat... but don't eat" and as a result we are getting fatter, unhealthier, and more disordered in our relationship with food and our bodies. Is there a way to really have it all…good health, a balanced weight, and take pleasure in eating ALL the foods you like? Absolutely! Andrea, a die-hard chocoholic, speaks about her 3 key steps to uplift the weight of the world and truly match eating enjoyment with health. Toss fad diets and sexy-instafixes aside and find out the remarkable things you can learn about eating from kids. Andrea will inspire you with a taste of what happens when you try to eat better rather than attempt to eat right. Andrea's winning combination of "guilt-free" eating and balancing ALL foods really is the recipe for success.
