NUTRITION
I am a qualified nutrition coach, qualified, insured and experienced in writing personalised nutrition plans to suit your individual body recomposition goals, such as reduction in body fat or increasing muscle mass.
Adequate, correct nutrition is crucial to maximise your results from training. Whatever your goal, training alone, without proper consideration to your diet will mean results are limited.
Good nutrition is about finding a nutirion plan that works in the long term for you, which is personalised, varied and balanced and one that you can stick to. It should teach you about the correct food to fuel your body at different times of the day and for different circumstances, giving you the tools to enable you to reach your goals without feeling hungry, restricted or isolated from others at meal times and without having to resort to short term unsustainable 'quick fixes'.
General diet 'Do's & Don'ts
-
Avoid diets that are restrictive or tell you you MUST NOT eat certain foods (unless you have a true intolerance or allergy). Eating well and good nutrition should be a way of life and a lifestyle change, not a short term fad. In order for your ‘diet’ to work in the LONG TERM it should be realistic, manageable & sustainable for YOU! What works for one person may not work for another.
-
Certainly do NOT buy into tablets, shakes, powders or other supplements which claim to be able to burn fat and make you lose weight, they won’t, & while we’re at it, you don’t need a detox or cleanse either, that’s what your liver and kidneys are for!
-
Depending on your goals, sacrifices WILL have to be made and it will be hard work, but with the correct plan for you, appropriate help & guidance it can be achieved.

TESTIMONIAL
'Emma devised a personalised nutrition plan for me, taking into account my lifestyle, to ensure that I ended up with something that is sustainable and effective. Emma's always available to answer questions and give advice in relation to the nutrition plan and help me adapt it as and when necessary. For the first time, someone has helped me to see how to make long term changes to my eating habits that are having results, rather than resorting to short term quick fixes. Despite eating less than normal, my energy levels are high and I feel more satisfied than ever; this is also translating to improved strength and performance in the gym. Emma's precise calculations have helped to create a plan that is easy to follow and has already taught me a lot about portion size and the balance of a meal. I have no hesitation in recommending Emma; she's a brilliant and motivational PT and also a realistic, supportive and knowledgeable nutrition coach'. RJ, March 2016
