Nutrition Self Case Study
Initial Assessment & Triage Questionnaire: looking for comprehensive information from
client of what is most important to work on first and gaining insight into the most
challenging and most important areas to the client right now

Eating Habits Questionnaire: (After reviewing the Initial Assessment & Triage
Questionnaire) looking for bright spots, weaknesses and patterns for insight into
creating a plan to help lower sugar intake, eat more variety macronutrients and
micronutrients in the form of brightly colored fruits and vegetables and lean proteins,
increase muscle tone in lower body (quads, hamstrings, glutes, and gastrocnemius),
and creating time for working out and eating appropriately while balancing client load
of 10-12 clients a week (24 sessions twice a week)

Eating Slowly Meal Journal: to monitor quick eating between her clients and
encourage slower eating in a relaxed family setting
Kitchen Set-up Assessment: to determine whether or not the client has adequate
kitchen supplies and is set up in the kitchen to be able to accomplish the health and
fitness goals she has set out to achieve for herself with her current kitchen and pantry
inventory of food
A-B-C Worksheet: to pay attention to the red, yellow, and green light foods in the
kitchen and home right now and possibly remove some of the items from the kitchen
and also get a better idea of using small steps toward larger macronutrient and
micronutrient goals and use less sugar overall

Hand Sized Portion Guide: to help client toward the proper amount of macronutrients
and micronutrients with lean protein at each meal

Fitness Nutrition Plate: to help client see a visual image of how much vegetables,
protein, and carbohydrates should be on their plate at each meal

Planning & Time Use Worksheet: to help client carve out time for herself in the areas of
working out and eating appropriate meals slowly while balancing a full roster of clients
at the same time
Case Study Findings:

	 The client is a 48 year old female that is a stay-at-home mom and owns her own
gym in their home. She is currently certified as a CFT through ISSA and is in the
process of finishing a Master’s level course in Nutrition and Pn1. She is married and
together they have one 10 year old son. When operating at full capacity she has a
client roster of 10-12 clients seen several times a week (approximately 24 sessions per
week). She is very disciplined in the areas of studying, working out, and devoting her
full attention to her clients. However, she needs to work on several areas of nutrition in
order to have her body working at full maximum capacity. We discovered through
administering the Initial Assessment & Triage Questionnaire that there were several
areas that were limiting factors to her accomplishing her goals. We have prioritized
them as the following areas: 1) Need Lower Sugar Intake 2) Drink More Water Daily 3)
Eat Meals More Slowly 4) Increase Macronutrients & Micronutrients and Lean Protein 5)
Time Management Skills 6) Increase Muscle Tone and Definition in Lower Body and 7)
Recovery Between Workouts. 

	 We also administered Eating Habits Questionnaire and discovered that she was
rushed to eat between clients and most likely was not getting the appropriate nutrients
through her macronutrients, micronutrients, and lean proteins while she was working
with four clients each evening back to back from 4 - 8 pm. We noticed several bright
spots as she was disciplined in the morning to take supplements consisting of calcium,
multi vitamin, Omega 3’s, Greens, and Apple Cider Vinegar for recovery. She also did
not snack during the day and kept consistent meal times throughout the day from 6:30
am for breakfast, 11am for lunch, and 4 pm for dinner. She ate an early dinner because
of her client schedule that evening. She occasionally had a small treat in the evenings
during family time, however that was not a daily occurrence. She did not eat again until
the following morning at 6:30 am allowing some intermittent fasting to take place
overnight. She eats two small pieces of chocolate daily to prevent large cravings for
chocolate to build up over time. She enjoys her company’s philosophy of 80/20. Eighty
percent of the time paying attention to diet and exercise and twenty percent allowing
the freedom to eat whatever she wants and take a break from exercise. She loves to
cook and experiment with new types of dishes from all over the world. Sugar tends to
be her downfall and triggers her into eating more sugar. When she doesn’t eat much
sugar at all and replaces it with healthy food choices, she doesn’t crave it as much.
She always follows a “cheat meal" with a healthy one. The client carries a water bottle
with her all day in efforts to remind her to drink water throughout her day. She also
stocked water bottles in the gym for easier access during training sessions for herself
and her clients.

	 We asked her to keep the Eating Slowly Meal Journal to track the rushed meals
she ate prior to working with clients in the evenings. Half the meals were rushed and
half of them were not. Along with that we gave the Kitchen Set-up Assessment to
evaluate whether or not the client’s kitchen was set up adequately to be able to reach
some of the fitness and nutrition goals she had set for herself. She passed with flying
colors and was only missing two items from the kitchen inventory checklist. We also
asked her to categorize food items in her kitchen by Red, Yellow, or Green and to get
rid of the items that fell in the Red category. The Easter candy was given away by the
client easily with no fuss. A few more items were moved from the kitchen to the
downstairs pantry since her husband and son wanted to keep those items. Bright
spots were identified that she regularly kept a variety of lean protein, fresh colorful
fruits and vegetables, seeds and nuts, and other healthy varieties of food on hand. She
prepared food ahead of time and left it in the fridge for her family to cook, or prepared
a meal in the Instant Pot so they had a hot meal each day while she was training clients
in the gym. 

	 The A-B-C Worksheet was given to the client in efforts to determine what foods
she was already eating, what foods she may add to her diet, and those that she
outlawed all together. She reported eating lots of healthy foods including some of the
following: Ahi-tuna, all types of fish, stir-fry, Thai food, Indian Food, steak, various
chicken dishes, salads, seeds, nuts, and lots of fruits and vegetables. She indicated
that she would like to add more eggs, beans, and various lean proteins, and various
fruits and vegetables to her diet. The only foods that she would not eat right now are
liver and wild game. Some of the things she can easily do are planks, push-ups on the
Power Tower, knee-ups on the Power Tower, leg lifts on the Power Tower, various HIIT
workouts on all cardio machines in her gym, dead lifts of 25 pounds. She also ran a 5K
a few years ago. Things she can not do right now are more than one pull-up, chin-ups,
dips on the Power Tower, and dead lifts of more than 25 pounds. 

	 The Hand-Sized Portion Guide and Fitness Nutrition Plate handouts were given
to the client so that she could better regulate the macronutrients and micronutrients
that she was getting in her diet on a daily basis. The hand portions are easily portable
and convenient. The Fitness Nutrition Plate serves as a visual reminder to eat more non
starchy vegetables and include a quarter of protein and carbohydrates/fats at each
meal. 

	 The Planing & Time Use Worksheet is used to help the client prioritize her time
and plan ahead for meal times, her own workouts, and other personal needs while
balancing a full roster of clients. Some bright spots we noticed about this client is that
she is intrinsically motivated and very disciplined in the following areas: getting
adequate nightly sleep, scheduling her day in a productive way, keeping a time regimen
that her body has become accustomed to (3 meals a day), supplementing vitamins and
nutrients where needed, keeping a daily workout schedule with the exception of
Fridays, and maximizing her study time before her son is home from school. The times
this schedule is thrown off and things get a little crazy is when she has back to back
clients on a daily basis. 

	 This is a level 1 client with the exception of the intermittent fasting built into her
normal schedule, and is already performing many tasks with proficiency on a
consistent basis. There are no outside referrals or need for medical consultation at this
time. This client just needs to continue practicing better eating habits especially when
she is stressed or pressed for time. She needs to refer to the Hand Portion Guide and
Fitness Nutrition Plate in order to keep her macronutrients, micronutrients, and lean
protein in check. She should also keep her sugar intake in check as well. This is a very
fit client who could benefit greatly from paying more attention to her nutritional needs
as well as her fitness ones.

7) Recovery Between Workouts
After reviewing all the information regarding this client, we are making the
following recommendations in the areas of nutrition and supplements:

1) Eat 4-6 oz lean protein at each meal, three times a day, in the amount of the palm of
your hand.

2) Fill half of your plate with vegetables at each meal, three times a day, in the amount
of your fist.

3) Make sure there is a rainbow of colors in the form of fruits and vegetables on your
plate at each meal three times a day.

4) Eat slow digesting high fiber carbohydrates in the form of oatmeal, sweet potatoes,
brown rice, and whole wheat grains and pasta in the amount of 1 cupped handful. 

5) Add brown eggs, various kinds of beans, and other lean meats such as chicken,
turkey, beef, pork, and duck to your daily diet.

6) Add several varieties of fish, nuts, seeds, olive oil, coconut oil, and avocado as
healthy fats in your diet.

7) Make sure you have a lean protein combined with a salad for at least one meal per
day. (Lean and a Green)

8) Limit your fat intake at each meal, three times a day, in the amount of your thumb. 

9) Make sure you are incorporating various healthy dairy products into your diet such
as Greek yogurt, Kefir, and other products with live and active cultures and probiotics.

9) Continue taking your calcium and multi vitamin supplement in the morning before
your breakfast.

10) Continue taking your Greens and Apple Cider Vinegar drinks in the morning before
breakfast.

11) Make water your chosen go-to beverage of the day and limit other sugary drinks.
(save them as treats once in a while)

12) Try substituting a piece of fruit instead of an item with refined sugar when your
sugar cravings start to set in.

13) Continue to have your two small pieces of dark chocolate per day to ward off larger
chocolate cravings down the road.

14) Try nut butter and almond butter in place of peanut butter since your skin breaks
out from peanut butter.
15) Make sure you are taking your time, enjoying your food to the fullest as you eat
each meal. (try to prevent schedules from causing you to eat on the run)

16) Monitor how you feel after eating each meal throughout the day, whether it
energizes you or causes you to crash, and keep a record of it to discover various
patterns present in your eating habits.

Rationale for Recommendations:
The reasons we are recommending this program is the following:

	 The client wanted to improve her eating skills overall by increasing
macronutrients, micronutrients, and lean protein. We recommended that she use some
of the strategies listed above such as the Hand Sized Portion Guide and Fitness
Nutrition Plate to monitor the amounts of different types of food she was eating each
day. She also wanted some suggestions of foods to add to her grocery list or use more
frequently than she was already doing, so we offered the above suggestions to add to
her diet such as the brown eggs, various kinds of beans, and other lean meats as high
protein sources. We wanted her to keep in check with her high sugar intake so by filling
her plate with all the necessary varieties of healthy whole foods and colorful fruits and
vegetables she should feel full and not desire the sweets as much. We wanted to have
her try an alternative to peanut butter since she likes it very much but it causes her skin
to break out. We suggested nut butter and almond butter as a substitute for peanut
butter. She is going to give it a try. She is going to plan ahead to avoid rush eating and
will monitor how different foods either give her energy or deplete her of it. Lastly, we
want her to continue on the path with the supplements she is taking as far as the
calcium, multi vitamin, Omega 3, Greens, and Apple Cider Vinegar. She had already
added the calcium for extra bone support and multi vitamin to help bridge the gaps she
had in her daily nutritional meals. The Omega 3 supplement was taken to help balance
her Omega 3’s and 6’s and add fish oil to her diet. The Greens were a daily serving of
fruits and vegetables to help supplement her diet. The Apple Cider Vinegar was taken
daily with the intent to help lower her blood sugar levels, decrease her insulin levels,
improve her metabolism, reduce fat storage, and burn more fat (there is conflicting
evidence right now about all the health benefits ACV does for the body). We also
advised that the client have a Gatorade as she was working out to help replace lost
electorates, and supplement with a whey protein shake after her work outs. One final
recommendation that we made was for her to get outside and get a small to medium
dose of Vitamin D each day from the sun now that the weather has a warmed up a bit.

	 We will plan to meet Monday and Thursday of each week, and will communicate
with text/email in-between those times. You are welcome to contact me at Maendel
Fitness during business hours from 8 am to 8 pm Monday - Thursday. We will be
discussing the following at these appointments: 1) Sugar intake levels 2) How drinking
64 oz of water consistently on a daily basis is coming along 3) How slowing down while
eating meals is coming along 4) How increasing your variety of food and nutrients is
coming along 5) How you are handling time management skills 6) How the toning of
your lower body is coming along, and 6) How you are doing on your recovery. We will
be concentrating in these main areas however you are welcome to discuss anything
you want related to your nutritional and fitness goals during our time together. We will
do a blood test at the beginning of the six month period and at the end to monitor
sugar levels in your body. We will talk about your Water Log and Eating Slowly Meal
Journal each session we meet on Mondays and Thursdays during the week. We will
get baseline measurements including height, weight and BMI, and take your before
photographs on your first session with me. We will do weigh-ins every Monday and get
measurements at the end of every month to monitor your progress for the next six
months. Photos will also be taken again at the end of the six month period to measure
the progress over the course of this program.

	 We will be monitoring to determine whether or not you hit a plateau during your
program in the next two months. We will counter and adjust the plan accordingly if and
when we hit those challenges. We like to look at them as stepping stones instead of
stumbling blocks. We will be working together to see how quickly you reach these
goals or if there are any modifications that need to be tweaked during this time period.
The plan is to proceed forward with the stated plan above and to monitor closely for
any revisions or changes that will be needed along the way. We wish you the very best
on your nutrition and fitness journey.

	 Hypothetical Situation: Client Now Becomes Pregnant
	 We will continue the plan with the following modifications: 1) Add an extra 500
calories to the meal plan for 2,000 - 2,300 kcal daily 2) Remove all raw fish (Ahi tuna)
and deli meat from her diet and reduce cooked fish to no more than 6 oz per week 3)
Modify 25 lb weight strength training exercises to 8 lb weights 4) Modify HIIT Training
to steady cardio lower impact 20 min daily 5) Continue 64 Oz of water daily 6) Continue
taking the Greens and Apple Cider Vinegar 7) Increase Vitamin B12 important for cell
development 8) Increase Folate to help prevent neural tube defects of the baby 9)
Increase Vitamin D to help calcium absorption and prevent a low birth weight of the
baby 10) Increase calcium to help prevent pre-eclampsia during the pregnancy 11)
Increase iron for multiple processes during pregnancy including fetal brain and nervous
system development 12) Increase Zinc for the development of the fetus 13) Increase
protein by 1 palm serving (about 25g), and 14) Increase Omega 3 fatty acids by non-
fish related foods such as flax, chia, walnuts, and leafy green vegetables. We will
continue on this plan and carefully monitor your progress. We will keep in close contact
with your doctor and will follow any recommendations he makes for you along the way.

Nutrition Self Case Study

  • 1. Nutrition Self Case Study Initial Assessment & Triage Questionnaire: looking for comprehensive information from client of what is most important to work on first and gaining insight into the most challenging and most important areas to the client right now Eating Habits Questionnaire: (After reviewing the Initial Assessment & Triage Questionnaire) looking for bright spots, weaknesses and patterns for insight into creating a plan to help lower sugar intake, eat more variety macronutrients and micronutrients in the form of brightly colored fruits and vegetables and lean proteins, increase muscle tone in lower body (quads, hamstrings, glutes, and gastrocnemius), and creating time for working out and eating appropriately while balancing client load of 10-12 clients a week (24 sessions twice a week) Eating Slowly Meal Journal: to monitor quick eating between her clients and encourage slower eating in a relaxed family setting Kitchen Set-up Assessment: to determine whether or not the client has adequate kitchen supplies and is set up in the kitchen to be able to accomplish the health and fitness goals she has set out to achieve for herself with her current kitchen and pantry inventory of food A-B-C Worksheet: to pay attention to the red, yellow, and green light foods in the kitchen and home right now and possibly remove some of the items from the kitchen and also get a better idea of using small steps toward larger macronutrient and micronutrient goals and use less sugar overall Hand Sized Portion Guide: to help client toward the proper amount of macronutrients and micronutrients with lean protein at each meal Fitness Nutrition Plate: to help client see a visual image of how much vegetables, protein, and carbohydrates should be on their plate at each meal Planning & Time Use Worksheet: to help client carve out time for herself in the areas of working out and eating appropriate meals slowly while balancing a full roster of clients at the same time
  • 2. Case Study Findings: The client is a 48 year old female that is a stay-at-home mom and owns her own gym in their home. She is currently certified as a CFT through ISSA and is in the process of finishing a Master’s level course in Nutrition and Pn1. She is married and together they have one 10 year old son. When operating at full capacity she has a client roster of 10-12 clients seen several times a week (approximately 24 sessions per week). She is very disciplined in the areas of studying, working out, and devoting her full attention to her clients. However, she needs to work on several areas of nutrition in order to have her body working at full maximum capacity. We discovered through administering the Initial Assessment & Triage Questionnaire that there were several areas that were limiting factors to her accomplishing her goals. We have prioritized them as the following areas: 1) Need Lower Sugar Intake 2) Drink More Water Daily 3) Eat Meals More Slowly 4) Increase Macronutrients & Micronutrients and Lean Protein 5) Time Management Skills 6) Increase Muscle Tone and Definition in Lower Body and 7) Recovery Between Workouts. We also administered Eating Habits Questionnaire and discovered that she was rushed to eat between clients and most likely was not getting the appropriate nutrients through her macronutrients, micronutrients, and lean proteins while she was working with four clients each evening back to back from 4 - 8 pm. We noticed several bright spots as she was disciplined in the morning to take supplements consisting of calcium, multi vitamin, Omega 3’s, Greens, and Apple Cider Vinegar for recovery. She also did not snack during the day and kept consistent meal times throughout the day from 6:30 am for breakfast, 11am for lunch, and 4 pm for dinner. She ate an early dinner because of her client schedule that evening. She occasionally had a small treat in the evenings during family time, however that was not a daily occurrence. She did not eat again until the following morning at 6:30 am allowing some intermittent fasting to take place overnight. She eats two small pieces of chocolate daily to prevent large cravings for chocolate to build up over time. She enjoys her company’s philosophy of 80/20. Eighty percent of the time paying attention to diet and exercise and twenty percent allowing the freedom to eat whatever she wants and take a break from exercise. She loves to cook and experiment with new types of dishes from all over the world. Sugar tends to be her downfall and triggers her into eating more sugar. When she doesn’t eat much sugar at all and replaces it with healthy food choices, she doesn’t crave it as much. She always follows a “cheat meal" with a healthy one. The client carries a water bottle with her all day in efforts to remind her to drink water throughout her day. She also stocked water bottles in the gym for easier access during training sessions for herself and her clients. We asked her to keep the Eating Slowly Meal Journal to track the rushed meals she ate prior to working with clients in the evenings. Half the meals were rushed and half of them were not. Along with that we gave the Kitchen Set-up Assessment to evaluate whether or not the client’s kitchen was set up adequately to be able to reach some of the fitness and nutrition goals she had set for herself. She passed with flying colors and was only missing two items from the kitchen inventory checklist. We also asked her to categorize food items in her kitchen by Red, Yellow, or Green and to get rid of the items that fell in the Red category. The Easter candy was given away by the
  • 3. client easily with no fuss. A few more items were moved from the kitchen to the downstairs pantry since her husband and son wanted to keep those items. Bright spots were identified that she regularly kept a variety of lean protein, fresh colorful fruits and vegetables, seeds and nuts, and other healthy varieties of food on hand. She prepared food ahead of time and left it in the fridge for her family to cook, or prepared a meal in the Instant Pot so they had a hot meal each day while she was training clients in the gym. The A-B-C Worksheet was given to the client in efforts to determine what foods she was already eating, what foods she may add to her diet, and those that she outlawed all together. She reported eating lots of healthy foods including some of the following: Ahi-tuna, all types of fish, stir-fry, Thai food, Indian Food, steak, various chicken dishes, salads, seeds, nuts, and lots of fruits and vegetables. She indicated that she would like to add more eggs, beans, and various lean proteins, and various fruits and vegetables to her diet. The only foods that she would not eat right now are liver and wild game. Some of the things she can easily do are planks, push-ups on the Power Tower, knee-ups on the Power Tower, leg lifts on the Power Tower, various HIIT workouts on all cardio machines in her gym, dead lifts of 25 pounds. She also ran a 5K a few years ago. Things she can not do right now are more than one pull-up, chin-ups, dips on the Power Tower, and dead lifts of more than 25 pounds. The Hand-Sized Portion Guide and Fitness Nutrition Plate handouts were given to the client so that she could better regulate the macronutrients and micronutrients that she was getting in her diet on a daily basis. The hand portions are easily portable and convenient. The Fitness Nutrition Plate serves as a visual reminder to eat more non starchy vegetables and include a quarter of protein and carbohydrates/fats at each meal. The Planing & Time Use Worksheet is used to help the client prioritize her time and plan ahead for meal times, her own workouts, and other personal needs while balancing a full roster of clients. Some bright spots we noticed about this client is that she is intrinsically motivated and very disciplined in the following areas: getting adequate nightly sleep, scheduling her day in a productive way, keeping a time regimen that her body has become accustomed to (3 meals a day), supplementing vitamins and nutrients where needed, keeping a daily workout schedule with the exception of Fridays, and maximizing her study time before her son is home from school. The times this schedule is thrown off and things get a little crazy is when she has back to back clients on a daily basis. This is a level 1 client with the exception of the intermittent fasting built into her normal schedule, and is already performing many tasks with proficiency on a consistent basis. There are no outside referrals or need for medical consultation at this time. This client just needs to continue practicing better eating habits especially when she is stressed or pressed for time. She needs to refer to the Hand Portion Guide and Fitness Nutrition Plate in order to keep her macronutrients, micronutrients, and lean protein in check. She should also keep her sugar intake in check as well. This is a very fit client who could benefit greatly from paying more attention to her nutritional needs as well as her fitness ones.

  • 14. Limiting Factors: 1) Lower Sugar Intake 2) Drink More Water 3) Eat Meals More Slowly 4) Increase Macronutrients & Micronutrients and Lean Protein 5) Improve Time Management Skills 6) Increase Muscle Tone and Definition in Lower Body 7) Recovery Between Workouts After reviewing all the information regarding this client, we are making the following recommendations in the areas of nutrition and supplements: 1) Eat 4-6 oz lean protein at each meal, three times a day, in the amount of the palm of your hand. 2) Fill half of your plate with vegetables at each meal, three times a day, in the amount of your fist. 3) Make sure there is a rainbow of colors in the form of fruits and vegetables on your plate at each meal three times a day. 4) Eat slow digesting high fiber carbohydrates in the form of oatmeal, sweet potatoes, brown rice, and whole wheat grains and pasta in the amount of 1 cupped handful. 5) Add brown eggs, various kinds of beans, and other lean meats such as chicken, turkey, beef, pork, and duck to your daily diet. 6) Add several varieties of fish, nuts, seeds, olive oil, coconut oil, and avocado as healthy fats in your diet. 7) Make sure you have a lean protein combined with a salad for at least one meal per day. (Lean and a Green) 8) Limit your fat intake at each meal, three times a day, in the amount of your thumb. 9) Make sure you are incorporating various healthy dairy products into your diet such as Greek yogurt, Kefir, and other products with live and active cultures and probiotics. 9) Continue taking your calcium and multi vitamin supplement in the morning before your breakfast. 10) Continue taking your Greens and Apple Cider Vinegar drinks in the morning before breakfast. 11) Make water your chosen go-to beverage of the day and limit other sugary drinks. (save them as treats once in a while) 12) Try substituting a piece of fruit instead of an item with refined sugar when your sugar cravings start to set in. 13) Continue to have your two small pieces of dark chocolate per day to ward off larger chocolate cravings down the road. 14) Try nut butter and almond butter in place of peanut butter since your skin breaks out from peanut butter.
  • 15. 15) Make sure you are taking your time, enjoying your food to the fullest as you eat each meal. (try to prevent schedules from causing you to eat on the run) 16) Monitor how you feel after eating each meal throughout the day, whether it energizes you or causes you to crash, and keep a record of it to discover various patterns present in your eating habits. Rationale for Recommendations: The reasons we are recommending this program is the following: The client wanted to improve her eating skills overall by increasing macronutrients, micronutrients, and lean protein. We recommended that she use some of the strategies listed above such as the Hand Sized Portion Guide and Fitness Nutrition Plate to monitor the amounts of different types of food she was eating each day. She also wanted some suggestions of foods to add to her grocery list or use more frequently than she was already doing, so we offered the above suggestions to add to her diet such as the brown eggs, various kinds of beans, and other lean meats as high protein sources. We wanted her to keep in check with her high sugar intake so by filling her plate with all the necessary varieties of healthy whole foods and colorful fruits and vegetables she should feel full and not desire the sweets as much. We wanted to have her try an alternative to peanut butter since she likes it very much but it causes her skin to break out. We suggested nut butter and almond butter as a substitute for peanut butter. She is going to give it a try. She is going to plan ahead to avoid rush eating and will monitor how different foods either give her energy or deplete her of it. Lastly, we want her to continue on the path with the supplements she is taking as far as the calcium, multi vitamin, Omega 3, Greens, and Apple Cider Vinegar. She had already added the calcium for extra bone support and multi vitamin to help bridge the gaps she had in her daily nutritional meals. The Omega 3 supplement was taken to help balance her Omega 3’s and 6’s and add fish oil to her diet. The Greens were a daily serving of fruits and vegetables to help supplement her diet. The Apple Cider Vinegar was taken daily with the intent to help lower her blood sugar levels, decrease her insulin levels, improve her metabolism, reduce fat storage, and burn more fat (there is conflicting evidence right now about all the health benefits ACV does for the body). We also advised that the client have a Gatorade as she was working out to help replace lost electorates, and supplement with a whey protein shake after her work outs. One final recommendation that we made was for her to get outside and get a small to medium dose of Vitamin D each day from the sun now that the weather has a warmed up a bit. We will plan to meet Monday and Thursday of each week, and will communicate with text/email in-between those times. You are welcome to contact me at Maendel Fitness during business hours from 8 am to 8 pm Monday - Thursday. We will be discussing the following at these appointments: 1) Sugar intake levels 2) How drinking 64 oz of water consistently on a daily basis is coming along 3) How slowing down while eating meals is coming along 4) How increasing your variety of food and nutrients is coming along 5) How you are handling time management skills 6) How the toning of your lower body is coming along, and 6) How you are doing on your recovery.

  • 16. be concentrating in these main areas however you are welcome to discuss anything you want related to your nutritional and fitness goals during our time together. We will do a blood test at the beginning of the six month period and at the end to monitor sugar levels in your body. We will talk about your Water Log and Eating Slowly Meal Journal each session we meet on Mondays and Thursdays during the week. We will get baseline measurements including height, weight and BMI, and take your before photographs on your first session with me. We will do weigh-ins every Monday and get measurements at the end of every month to monitor your progress for the next six months. Photos will also be taken again at the end of the six month period to measure the progress over the course of this program. We will be monitoring to determine whether or not you hit a plateau during your program in the next two months. We will counter and adjust the plan accordingly if and when we hit those challenges. We like to look at them as stepping stones instead of stumbling blocks. We will be working together to see how quickly you reach these goals or if there are any modifications that need to be tweaked during this time period. The plan is to proceed forward with the stated plan above and to monitor closely for any revisions or changes that will be needed along the way. We wish you the very best on your nutrition and fitness journey.
