Mindful Eating Success Stories
It was a great experience working with Juanita. My goal in working with a dietitian was to eat more healthy food and to feel more confident in the choices I was making. I was looking for a healthy way to lose weight.
I felt very supported by Juanita as we worked together. She is a great coach.
As a result of working with Juanita, I have changed my shopping habits; am buying more vegetables. I have increased my activity - going to the gym five times a week. I am more conscious about what I eat and follow my hunger cues to guide me, and have begun to eat regular meals. I am able to move better and my clothes are fitting better.
I would recommend Juanita as a coach dietitian.

I was unsure when I started as to what type of personality that I would find working with someone on weight loss. I was so glad to find out that Juanita was very easy to work with and has always considered how I feel about everything we discuss or try.
My feelings and issues before working with Juanita
-
Felt anxious
-
Had dieted many times before, only to regain - would it be worth it?
-
Not sure if I was ready to address the issue
I was especially downhearted one evening regarding my own ability to follow through on all we had planned. I was very impressed with Juanita's ability to talk with me about my feelings and attitude with good instruction to help me overcome it.
I have found that after working with Juanita, I am thinking less about food and my desire for "junk" is diminishing. I am more in control over the food, rather than the food controlling me. It is a day-to-day decision that I feel better equipped to handle. D

Katy's testimonial - what is it like to work with Juanita?
Before working with Juanita, I was very negative toward my body. I felt very tired and was less willing to be active. I had tried dieting (Advocare 24 day challenge, cut out sweets and bread) but nothing worked because my knowledge was lacking.
Having knowledge about mindful eating has made me look at food for pleasure and nourishment. Before I ate to cover emotions/stress. Working with Juanita has helped me in the weight loss area because I am not constantly overeating.
I have changed in the two following areas since working with Juanita - to be more physically active and to eat healthier.
Three benefits to working with Juanita are:
-
She is the friendliest and most encouraging partner in this journey
-
She is a wealth of knowledge
-
She is always willing and available to help at your pace
The recommendation I would make to someone considering working with Juanita is to Just Do It!
If you want your lifestyle to change and are willing to jump right in, Juanita will be by your side through the whole process.
