PrintHelp! Maybe I Need a Nutrition Coach
Some nutrition coaches charge people as much as $500 an hour to help them lose weight, according to the New York Times. As someone who's struggled with weight issues my whole life, those folks sound like a surefire way to lighten your wallet without shrinking your gut. I guess it falls into the category of "whatever works."

Seriously? Maybe I need to BECOME a nutrition coach! Yikes.

Thirty minutes of cardio three or four times a week worked for me - and helped with depression. I lost thirty pounds. An ipod or MP3 player of some kind helps.
And limit your animal fat and carb intake (small helpings instead of a restrictive diet is what I favor ).
Good luck!

Maybe the question is "how does one become a nutrition coach?"

Ed you look good. You look like you need some pasta. Here is what I have done in the past. I went to a dietician. She told me never eat a starch without a protein. This means you must have a meatball with your pasta (or steak, sausage, chicken) She also said that the best way to portion control is to weigh your food. I have learned through reading that your bigger meal should be lunch. If you want to splurge on calories don't eat a lot then sit still or go to bed. I have done early dinner to combat this.

What's the difference between a nutrition coach and a nutritionist? Is it like the difference between a life coach and a licensed therapist? I'd opt for the one with better training/license, myself.
From my untrained background, I've found that increasing my fruits and vegetables and reducing my processed food intake has helped a lot.
