Most Floridians have very active and varied lifestyles. By attempting to eat to control blood sugar and slow down the aging process one cant eat and entertain without food restrictions.

According to American Heart Association and American Cancer Society 70 % of your risk for heart disease and cancer come from lifestyle and diet, and only 30% from genetics. Heart Disease and Cancer rates, the primary causes of death in the United States, have increased most every year in America in the last 100 years. As a Society we are eating less fat and the National Institute of Health (NIH) reports that more than half of Americans are overweight.

In the U.S. due to consumer demand and higher profits we have made the genetic modifications to our staple foods such as our corn, wheat, rice, potatoes, fruits and vegetables which have allowed us to produce more tons of food per acre. These modifications can produce a sweeter grain/food with more carbohydrates and significantly less fiber. Food manufactures then create food items such as potato chips, rice cakes, crackers, breads, etc. with little very little nutritional quality. In addition, Madison Avenue (New York) advertising executives use guerilla marketing techniques such as marketing products that say low fat or low carb to make you think the product is healthy when they’re not. And lastly, the fierce competition among restaurants to make profits, also cause the macronutrient intakes of restaurant meals to be substantially disproportionate for our metabolic and lifestyle needs. In other words, they’re filling you up with inexpensive food to satisfy you, at the expense of your health, for the benefit of their profits.

It’s not your fault, its Americas problem.

“Clients are amazed when they finally realize that the more you try to diet, the harder it is to lose weight”, says Chris Fuzy, one of the Nutritionists and Founder of Lifestyle Nutrition.

Counting calories or points can make you hungry and does not guarantee your blood sugar will be balanced throughout the day, which is one of the key elements for a healthy metabolism. Diet products and/or medications may provide some temporary relief or short-term results. Often, this may provide a false sense of wellness or satisfaction. If lifestyle and diet are not changed long term, inevitably the weight returns and often with more body fat and less lean muscle, which is detrimental to a healthy metabolism.

A nutrition program that limits the amount of food or points to eat daily may increase your appetite and make you hungry, or potentially affect your relationship and your view of food and eating. Some researchers report that dieting may cause negative physical and psychological effects that far outweigh the positive effects of dieting. These researchers report that dieting “ creates more problems then it solves”. They also report the negative side effects of dieting often will not allow for long-term (sustained) weight loss, which is key to reducing risks for heart disease, diabetes, and many cancers.

Whether, you eat macrobiotic, live foods, nutritional program, or you’re a meat lover, balancing your blood sugar is one of the keys to reducing appetite, cravings, and body fat. Blood sugar management will increase your energy level and psychological well-being, says Mr. Fuzy.

“Finally, you need a Nutritionist who has a Masters Degree in Dietetics and practices a complimentary, and alternative medicine approach to Nutrition Counseling with food,” says Nancy a nurse of over 30 years. “I tried every diet out there, I tried the packaged foods, I counted points, and before counseling, I was always on a diet. Now, I focus on managing my blood sugar, and as a result, going through menopause is much easier. Now, Chris, one of the nutritionists taught me if I am hungry, eat. If I have cravings all the time, something is missing. But I learned what to eat that was realistic for my schedule. “I think what I was the most impressed with is, I came to see Chris to feel better, not to lose weight. Now, I am losing weight as a result of trying to feel better and reduce my risks for cancer and heart disease. My moods are better too.”

“I learned in 4 hours, over 4 weeks how to eat at home or in restaurants with the correct balance of normal food for my metabolism, age, muscle, and lifestyle. I am a nurse, and I am always running around. Before nutrition counseling, I ate a meal or a snack and I was still hungry. Now, when I eat feel satisfied, my cravings are minimal, and I am losing weight without trying. Before counseling, I was always tired. Now, I actually have energy to enjoy life and even complete a workout.”

“By concentrating on blood sugar, not calorie counting, and understanding the different digestion and absorption times of foods, you can now balance your own nutritional program at home, in restaurants or even when traveling.” We have our office locations in spas or fitness facilities, because our program is an uplifting experience says Mr. Fuzy. Clients look forward to our consultations because we explain why they may be feeling poorly, and soon after counseling they feel better and want to learn more. Our consultations are specific enough so you know what to do but not too restrictive, where you become board with your nutrition program. Our goal that we are developing is your nutrition program for life. You must be able to enjoy it and be able to apply to many situations in your life. That’s the reason we the named the company, Lifestyle Nutrition. The company’s trademark / philosophy is one that many Americans could benefit from, “It’s A Lifestyle …Not A Diet!!!” ^TM
