Diet Consultation with a Registered Holistic Nutritionist

Do you wish you knew just what to eat at all times?
Do you want to eat better but it seems so time consuming?
Are you ready to learn a delicious approach to health?

For those working 40+ hours a week, finding the energy to make it through the day can be tough. Snacking on a granola bar after drinking a large, soy Americano misto seems like a healthy choice on the go, but fast-forward to 2 hours later and we find ourselves crashing and craving a big greasy burger for lunch.

I consider myself a healthy person. I try to eat a balanced breakfast and pack a lunch for work as often as I can; however, there are areas where I can improve my eating habits. I often get bored, a common problem for those who make lunches for themselves or their families, and find myself snacking on less healthy options throughout the day. This is where Diet Consultation with a Registered Holistic Nutritionist – really turned it around for me. I opted for the Wholesome Lunchbox and felt like I walked away with some valuable tools to help me make healthier choices while still satisfying my taste buds.

Before the phone consultation Genevieve, the owner and founder of Le Petit Chou, provided me with an e-book as a starting point to the nutritional consultation. The e-book explained the role of the food groups, provided a strategic angle to approach grocery shopping, and finished with some nutritious and delicious recipes. I found the e-book quite helpful as a foundation for the rest of the consultation.

During the phone consultation Genevieve was very pleasant and knowledgeable. She easily tweaked my current eating habits into more health conscious options. For example, she explained the five flavours – bitter, sweet, pungent, salty, and sour – and how eating foods that satisfy these flavours can help curb cravings. This was a great “aha” moment and really helped me to plan lunches and snacks that would avoid resorting to junk food during the day. Genevieve expressed the importance of diversifying lunches to ensure satisfaction and recommended making larger dinners in order to have leftovers for lunch the next day.

I highly recommend the carrot soup recipe from the e-book. I’ve never made a soup before, so I was a bit nervous to try it. I was surprised at how easy the soup was to make and how delicious it tasted!

Le Petit Chou’s Wholesome Lunchbox turned my bad eating habits around. Genevieve was very helpful and adaptive to my eating style and health needs. The consult wasn’t about weight loss, or learning to cut corners to lose one more pound. It’s an educational tool for individuals and their families on the best way to pick nutritious options. Thanks to the Wholesome Lunch Box I feel as though I am consuming worthwhile calories throughout the day and staying satisfied.
