More about Dietitians & Registered Dietitians

Long term weight control is within everyone's reach.  We all know how to do it- "Exercise more,  Eat less", right?  
While this is true, we all know that it's not that simple. If it were, we would all be a lot thinner, healthier and more energetic!  Instead, most people need help making those well-intentioned goals really stick. It takes a plan that is easy to implement, but firmly grounded, one that is proven by the sciences.  In the field of nutrition, a field studied by all dietitians/dieticians, scientific study  is applied to accurately measure the effectiveness of diet approaches.  We know what works and what doesn't.  As a health care professional, dietitians have the skills and knowledge to apply  this science and convert it to "real world", practical, and useful information. They don't apply gimmicks, prescribe pills, or implement fad diets, and always, your good health and well-being is the first concern.

As a Registered Dietitian of 15 years, I've applied the science of nutrition to the many weight loss patients I've counseled.   My professional experience and interest is in working with people with weight control, heart disease, and lipid (fat) disorders.  With a Master's of Science in Teaching from Portland State University, emphasizing exercise physiology, I got a very balanced perspective on how to apply exercise and diet to weight loss.  Developing diet plans for people has been a real pleasure, I truly enjoy seeing others succeed and helping them learn more enjoyable and healthy ways to reach their goals. My knowledge and experience has given me the expertise required to help others by developing weight loss and diet plans that are realistic, long-term options for people who want a real solution to their diet concerns and just don't have the time to seek professional help in an office setting. 

My interests led me to pursue a certificate in fitness, through my master's program.  I enjoy teaching others the right way to get healthy and to lose weight . Having an online program with a personalized diet plan, fitness and exercise resources, as well as counseling support has really helped people achieve results that they would usually not have access to.  My past clients have learned proven ways to reach their goals and have successfully lost weight over the years.  Getting access to the right information about your diet is paramount to your success.  The convenience and privacy of our on-line services makes it easy to do.

Weight Loss plans -Dietitian designed My nutritional philosophy is based upon scientific evidence that the best diet (for most people) is one that improves one's lipid (cholesterol and blood triglycerides) profile, avoids harmful cancer-promoting substances, and limits excess calories that lead to unhealthy weight gain and other chronic diseases.  Nutrition is a fairly young science, and we are constantly learning new things about the role various foods play in the prevention and development of diseases like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. Therefore, new information can contradict what we thought was true ten years ago, and this can be confusing. Who and what can you trust? We have to go with the best information that science has to offer, and trust your own intuition and common sense to sift through the unfounded and sometimes dangerous diet fads.  My goal with this program is to enable dieters to both achieve their diet and weight goals through personally relevant information and to simultaneously improve their health through better nutrition.


Heart Healthy Weight Loss & Custom Diets by a Dietitian
The Personal Dietitian's The Personal Diet Plan is a personal eating strategy that helps you put knowledge into action. Each plan is personally meaningful and relevant, because it is based upon your own eating habits. Personal Diet organizes and prioritizes the specific changes you need to make to lose weight, to feel better, and to improve your health through better eating choices. The advantage to this program is that it is in written form, is comprehensive, and costs much less than a series of typical dietitian consultations!

Most of us have a good idea of what we need to do to make better eating choices, but are unable to put knowledge into action consistently enough to make a difference. What's needed is a specific plan that is relevant to our daily lives. The personal assessment of each food choice and the  individualization of a Personal Diet plan is what will motivate you to change. It's easy when something complicated like changing the way you eat is laid out in easy to follow and specific steps, and it is designed to fit your lifestyle and eating preferences.  If you do it right, you really can achieve your short term goal (get those pounds off -start looking and feeling better) and make it stick. The goal is to give you a new eating style that's easy to do, gets you to your goal, and helps keep you there. Dietitian, Carolyn Classick-Kohn,MS,RD
