See a dietician not a nutritionist. Dieticians are legally registered and have to prove their expertise, whereas anyone can call him or herself a “nutritionist”
.. and your health insurance will pay for it.
Start by setting a goal for yourself- e.g. pack a lunch from home for two weeks, or cut out alcohol for a period of time.
A nutritionist is only going to give you a plan... it’s still on you to do the work
I've tried goals like that and have found myself unsuccessful. It's like I don't hold myself accountable to my personal goals if there's no one else involved (yeah, it's a larger problem...)
I think what I need is help getting pointed in the right direction - I have no imagination when it comes to what to eat that's healthy and will hold my interest long enough/give me enough variety to stick to it. And if I don't figure that out with enough headway to grocery shop, that week is a lost cause to junk food and takeout.
Anyone else been there before? Does having someone help you come up with your meal plans help give the jump start you need?
I found my nutritionist through my primary care physician. She helped me identify key habits to change (honestly way easier than I expected). She’s helped me review menus for places by my client and has helped with food delivery while I was getting on track. No calorie counting just focusing on food quality, quantity, and timing. I now check in with her once a month over the phone but lost a lot of weight, feel more confident, and have maintained the success on my own. Feel free to DM me if you want more info
This post is my life.
Always blamed being on the road but being local it turns out I’m actually a goat and love to eat trash too.
Send an update OP when you’re successful with your lifestyle change bc it really is a lifestyle not just diet!!!
Good luck, one GrubHub-er to another !
You get me!! 😭
2 things have helped me! 1) whole30 - seriously changed my attitude towards food, 2) meal delivery kits - which I cook now at weekends instead of takeouts and are much better portion controlled & healthy.
I’ve been getting back into healthy eating as well. It would be easier if it were just me but I need to get my husband to eat healthier as well. He also feels like cold meals (salads) aren’t really meals so I feel like whatever I cook has more calories than if I could just eat salads. One thing to keep in mind is that if you want this to last, it needs to be a lifestyle change. What worked for me is starting with what meals we like to eat, then think of how to make that healthier with substitutes, and not doing anything too drastic. Increase the portion of veggies and fruits you’re eating. It can take over 2 months for form a habit but keep at it, and don’t beat yourself up over “cheat” meals. Also keep healthy snacks around you, like nuts, etc. Once you start to feel physically better it makes it easier to continue.
Have you tried Noom?
I have not but I will check it out!
Daily Harvest is amazing! I’m super lazy re: cooking. This solves that.
