M V Nutrition

Sarah at MV Nutrition. I went to Sarah in order to learn to have a healthier lifestyle and feel better, If I lost weight along the way that would be an added bonus. Prior to working with Sarah I did not know much about eating right. Sarah taught me a lot about portion sizes, healthy snacking, and how to read labels.

When I ran into difficulty lowering my fat intake, Sarah told me to lower my sugar intake. When I stated I didn't think the sugar was the problem, Sarah confronted me in a gentle way by reviewing with me my food chart. Sure enough the sugar was a problem!

Sarah developed a simple plan for me to reduce my sugar intake and my fat intake dropped to where it should be. I started feeling great and have now lost 13 pounds!

Prior to working with Sarah I tried exercising alone and saw no changes. With a simple adjustment to my diet--- which I can live with--- I now fit back into my old clothing and am being complimented all the time on my figure! This is all without any exercising-- I am only following the diet that Sarah recommended!

I highly recommend Sarah as a Nutritionist! I could not have done this without her!…

I Finally Lost Weight the Healthy Way. I lost ten pounds the first year and twenty pounds this year. I learned how to eat what I like and lose weight slowly which I've been able to keep off. Sarah is super nice and non-judgmental. Even when I had a tiny slip she gently pushed me to get back on track. She is a really great person, always upbeat. She has some terrific recipes too. I'm now a size 6 in designer jeans, when I started I was a "tight 12." The on-line food diary is fast, easy and keeps you honest. MV Nutrition is worth the price.…

Sarah and MV Nutrition are the best!. What to eat, when to eat, how to eat -- I've struggled with this as I get very busy during the day, skipping meals, grabbing a not-so-healthy snack in a pinch. Sarah helped me get through it without the nonsense of fad dieting. She and the folks at MV Nutrition are true professionals. Sarah really listens and talks through my time challenges to come up with workable solutions.

She's friendly, sympathetic, and genuinely cares about getting you through your hurdles. She's also honest, down-to-earth and doesn't just throw information at you. We've gone through not only what to eat, but also strategies on how to tackle my schedule. She gives you real examples applicable to your life and schedule of how to apply the strategies throughout the day.

I've been seeing results and highly recommend Sarah and MV Nutrition to anyone looking for a true change in their eating habits and lifestyle.…

Sarah and MV are really great. I came to MV weighing at 260 pounds, which was the most I had ever weighed. I had been traveling off and on for several years, and had just moved to San Francisco. After about 8 months of work, I have lost 20 pounds, and am halfway to my goal. I am consistently losing weight, and I'm actually glad that it's taking time, because that makes me feel much more confident that this is not just a temporary thing, but a long-term change in my life. I have never been happier with myself physically, and I owe so much of it to Sarah and her help.

One thing I want to say is that when I started working with Sarah, even though it took me a little while to lose weight (which was my fault, because I was still traveling and not really sticking to the program we had agreed on 100%), I immediately started to feel so much better, because Sarah was teaching me healthy eating habits. My mood and attitude towards food changed right away: I immediately felt, and still feel so much more in control, and happy about eating. I'm never hungry, and have lost those terrible food cravings and that sense of being completely out of control in relation to food. It's really an amazing blessing, and I am so grateful for it. And if I had stuck more to the program, I would have started losing weight right away! Once I did, the pounds started to come off, and it was actually really easy and felt good.

Sarah's style is to be low-key and compassionate and to listen a lot, and then come up with good advice. She is thinking about what you are saying, and getting to know the particular circumstances of who you are. I think people who want to lose weight often feel bad about themselves (which is understandable, given how cruel our society is about fat and weight gain and all those sorts of issues). So part of us wants a drill sergeant, someone to tell us how bad we have been, and that we have to do some extreme thing to lose weight and get our acts together.

Well, if those things worked, none of us would be in a situation where we still need some other kind of help. Diets are mostly a scam: if you lose a lot of weight relatively quickly doing something weird, eating in a way that is not sustainable over the long-term (like drinking protein shakes or eating no carbs or starving yourself), not only will you put on all the weight when you go back to normal life, but also your metabolism will be all screwed up, which will cause you to put on MORE weight, and make it even hard to take that weight off the next time. It's a terrible cycle, and I am one of the probably millions of people who have gone through it.

It's hard to change behavior. It takes time and effort and thoughtfulness and compassion. I am really grateful to Sarah for sticking with me and our work together. I enjoy eating now, and I am never hungry (unless I skip meals or don't eat enough, which is the opposite of what Sarah tells me to do!), and I have taken off 20 pounds in a way that is healthy and sustainable. I'm confident I will not only lose the next 20 pounds, but be able to keep it off permanently. Most important, I feel I have finally broken this awful cycle of dieting and overeating.

Anyway, I recommend Sarah incredibly highly. She's a great person, and a terrific nutritionist. Go in and meet her and see for yourself. I feel so lucky and so much happier, and a lot of it is thanks to her and MV.…
