What's new?
Planning to lose some weight or eat more healthfully? We
can help. Transitions Nutrition Consulting is owned by Marla Heller, MS, RD,
who is experienced in customized nutrition plans and providing real life solutions for
your nutrition concerns. A plan which
is based on your specific needs, tastes, and lifestyle is important. A plan that
can't be followed for the long run wastes your time and energy. Make sure you
find a plan that you can really live with. Your focus should be on maintaining
muscle (which burns calories) and getting rid of fat (which stores energy).
Quick weight loss programs cause you to lose both fat and muscle and can lead to
greater weight regain. And . . . any plan should promote health, not increase
your risk of disease.
Get your
individualized plan from a well-qualified registered dietitian. Check Marla's credentials. Learn about
the books we recommend. A listing
of dietitian-written books will
help you find reliable nutrition information.
