A Personal Message from Christopher Fuzy, MS, RD, LD
Our Approach & Philosophy – What To Expect With Our Program
Founder Clinical & Sports Nutritionist / Registered Dietitian – 25 years Experience
America’s Problem
You’ve heard the advice. Whether it’s for medical or personal reasons, you need to lose weight or watch what you eat because your cholesterol or blood pressure is high. Many of my clients have attempted various approaches to try and resolve their nutritional issues and failed. Successful people feel because they are high achievers they should be able to formulate their own program without professional help. I remind my clients, DO NOT Blame Yourself Because You May Be Confused or Tried A Fad Diet, Medication or Detox and It Didn’t Work For You Long Term … Its America’s Problem, this is the mentality of America! Plus, we use a metabolic analyzer to determine your caloric needs based on your muscle, activity level, type and amount of exercise. The secret is we now can effectively provide a sliding scale nutrition program based on your metabolic needs for your personal foods preferences and lifestyle with shopping lists, etc.
You’ve tried the latest and newest fad diets, meal replacement or commercial weight loss programs or your doctor prescribed a medication, all promising “miraculous” results…but delivering little to none. Maybe the medication worked for a while but is no longer effective or has too many side effect. YOU KNOW IMPROVING YOUR DIET AND lifestyle ARE IMPORTANT…. SO YOU WILL NOT NEED TO RELY EXCLUSIVELY ON MEDICATIONS to solve your MEDICAL ISSUES.
Many clients have tried the generic, pre-printed diet sheets given to you by your doctor or off the internet. They are not a personalized and do not offer flexibility, are difficult and unrealistic to follow and are confusing and contradictory. High carbohydrates, low carbohydrate, and frustrated low fat, high protein . Confusing information, impersonal diet sheets and fad diets leave you disappointed …and no closer to your goal or a healthier lifestyle.
Unfortunately After Trying Many Types of Programs and Failing Long Term, Many Clients Give Up and Blame Themselves – It’s Not Your Fault!
If you have tried diets before and failed, it is because they are temporary, boring or make unrealistic demands and promises. They ask you to change your lifestyle to try fit into the diet. Fad diets set you up for failure. It’s not your fault! There is a better way…
What To Expect After You Begin A Lifestyle Nutrition Metabolic Counseling Program
After YOU begin nutrition counseling, clients realize we are formulating a program together for you and your family. Every week, or every other week meet for a series of nutritional consultations (usually 3-6 consultations over a few months). You leave with set of SPECIFIC goals, NAME BRAND FOOD RECOMMENDATIONS/ COMBINATIONS , SHOPPING LISTS AND FOOD GOALS TO DO SO THAT TOGETHER WE FIND LIFESTYLE SOLUTIONS YOU THAT YOU LIKE AND BECOMES A POSITIVE UPLIFTING EXPERIENCE.
Custom Meal Plans Based On
After 30 years of nutritional counseling in hospitals, physician practices, and our clinics, here is a summary of our approach for patients with specific medical needs or who are interested in wellness, weight loss or optimal health. The key to the nutritional program is having the ability to provide a meal plan based on patients lean body weight, height, age, sex and activity level. The higher the metabolic rate, and the more muscle and activity level, the more carbohydrates a patient will receive.
- Blood labs
- Food Preferences
- Activity level
- Height, Weight, Age, Sex, Body Fat, Muscle
- Basal Metabolism, Resting Metabolism, and Daily Living Calories
- Aerobic and Anaerobic Exercises Expenditure (based on lean muscle)
- Genetic & Lifestyle Risk Factors
- Lifestyle & Food Preferences
Whether you purchase food at Publix, Shop Right, Whole Foods, Wal-Mart, Costco, we provide weekly goals, shopping lists, meal plans and nutritional information based on their preferences and lifestyle. We Get Specific – No generic diet sheets.
OUR CORE PHILOSOPHY IS TO PROVIDE functional foods and food combinations that patients can incrementally incorporate to into their hectic lifestyle based on their food preferences without having to weigh food, count calories, grams, and food groups. We present and explain the specific name brand foods & custom exercise guidelines in multiple ways for better comprehension and compliance. Usually, within 4-6 sessions patients will have the necessary skills to instinctively understand WHY AND HOW TO eat specific foods while incorporating long term behavior modifications and embrace healthy eating and exercise to their lifestyle.
- Provide weekly goals, shopping lists & simple recipes in a sequence that clients understand and look forward to incorporating lifestyle changes. Each session focuses on different foods and nutritional principles.
- Provide a positive uplifting intellectual experience for most any patient demographic, from fast food junkies to raw food believers, and from gourmet chefs to domestically challenged over-stressed professionals.

- Finally by the 3rd –6th weekly nutritional session patients have necessary skills & knowledge to eat healthy in a variety of real life situations, such as traveling, restaurants and social occasions.

THE Ultimate Goal … Healthy, Intuitive Eating- FOR LIFE!!
Once you adopt your ideal NUTRITION program IT IS FLEXIBLE ENOUGH TO INCORPORATE REAL LIFE EATING.

GROWING UP IN A EUROPEAN FAMILY, I EXPERIENCED, FOOD WAS LOVE, FOOD WAS MOTIVATION, FOOD WAS REWARD AND FOOD WAS ENTERTAINMENT!
I think one of the reasons I am a successful dietitian is I can relate to my patients, their challenges and concerns. I’ve also been overweight and unhappy…frustrated and confused, and have used these principles myself to overcome my weight issues. After training over 900 physicians and their offices nationwide in the past 30 years with our Lifestyle Nutrition Metabolic Counseling Program, I have learned and seen a lot.
Let’s face it. Your lifestyle affects your health tremendously. My experience and background As a Chief Clinical Hospital Dietitian for two years and having completed my Master’s Degree in Clinical & Sports Nutrition, and undergraduate degree at FSU in Nutrition & Dietetics / Chemistry and clinical experience at the Texas Medical Center, Houston, will allow us to formulate a nutritional program for you and your family. I have found patients that have fallen into an unhealthy lifestyle would do anything to turn back the clock, If you’re ready to change your NUTRITIONAL LIFESTYLE forever!!
We now know it’s easier for a client to follow a program if we can modify the program to meet your specific food preferences, metabolism, activity level, muscle & lifestyle . Our nutritional advice on your medical / nutritional needs and lifestyle.
