Greetings!

 Fruit & VeggiesIt is all about balance!
 
You can eat a pizza a day and not gain weight, BUT, it requires a balance in activity and life. Now it is not practical for most people to exercise this much or consume this amount of food, but if your job is to be an Olympic swimmer, you might just get to eat that way. You saw above what Michael Phelps eats in a day, roughly 12,000 calories, which is about 4 to 5 times what most of us need.
 
Recently, I have been doing a lot of work with clients on fueling their exercise routines for optimal endurance and benefit. Many individuals are cheating their workouts and losing their lean tissue, opposite of what they had hoped to gain from exercising. Listen to the Olympians discuss how key nutrition is to all they are doing and achieving.
 
Remember, you can eat too much and at the same time, too little. You can exercise too much and too little and you can work too much and too little! Keep in mind a dietitian using tools such as the Medgem machine and assessments such as nutrient analysis can give your metabolic rate and optimal nutrient intake to assist you in finding that balance of healthy nutrition and energy.

Client Testimonial
Even if you don't want to be an Olympian, see how Kathryn can help. A quote from a client who just finished a package with Kathryn. 
 
"I am so excited with my new life! I came to Kathryn Fink when I felt like I was losing my battle with weight. I had totally given up. Not only was it a belt expanding problem, but it started causing high blood pressure.
 
Kathryn was idea for me. I wasn't looking to be an Olympian or turn into a vegan. I enjoyed eating and wasn't ready to give up "the cherry on top". Unfortunately, I was also the kind of person that thought that I "knew it all". During my time with Kathryn, she made me realize the difference between knowing it all and actual application. I have learned subtle things that changed my eating, drinking and attitude in LIFE. It is incredible how her tips and hints have affected and effected my mind and body.
 
I've lost 15 pounds, increased my resting metabolic rate, resized my wedding ring from a 6.5 to a 5, can get up off the couch without a struggle, and best of all, my blood pressure has improved. I did all this without feeling deprived or starved. Kathryn's teachings are a part of my life now...And I never gave up chocolate!"
