Diets Often Go Down the Drain...
You Donât Know What to Eat
Most diets don't fit into everyone's lifestyle. Between work, family commitments, and personal time, finding the time to prepare diet-specific meals can be a hassle. In the end, you just grab whatever is easy and convenient. Once you treat your tastebuds to the food they've been deprived of for weeks, they won't let you go back to "healthy eating" so easily.
Â
Boring & Repetitive Diets are Unsustainable
Most diets cut off certain food groups from the list. If you have to eat the same tasteless meals day in and day out, you're right to want to give up.
Even if you somehow make peace with the taste, you'll feel unhappy, unsatisfied and irritated. Strict meal plans donât work in the long-run. The result? You quit!
Â
The âAll-or-Nothing Approachâ
âIâve already eaten âjunk foodâ today. The dayâs already ruined. Iâll start tomorrowâ. Sound familiar? This rigid thinking damages your relationship with food, keeps you stuck, and destroys your motivation.Food adds value to our life. Whether it is enjoying meals with the people we love or simply taking pleasure in eating.
Â
Feeling Overwhelmed & Frustrated
With conflicting nutrition information online, itâs no wonder you feel overwhelmed and frustrated! One source might advocate for a low-carb lifestyle, while another sings the praises of veganism. You might stumble upon a trending diet that promises rapid weight loss, only to read another article that warns against its potential risks.

I was initially hesitant to see a dietician because I was worried that it would be weight loss focused, which wasnât my goal. Iâm so glad I decided to give the Comprehensive Nutrition Coaching a chance anyway. Based off of my goals, I was matched with Hannah. She provided non-judgemental advice and worked with me to meet realistic goals each week. After the completing the program, Iâve had more energy and felt improvement in my gut health. Would highly recommend this program, especially if your benefits cover it!

I have worked with 2 other dietitians before and Courtney was the one who really helped me! What I love about the Comprehensive Nutrition Coaching is that we met every week. Each week I have a different question about my diet (even my hormones). Courtney helped me find solution to my specific needs. She gave me small little steps that is easy to understand. She also guided me back to my goals whenever I am off course. I believe a solid foundation is the key to success and Courtney has definitely helped me build a great foundation for my nutrition needs!

I reached out to Courtney at Vitality Nutrition looking for some information , mostly on how eat to feel more energized. As a tired Mom of 3, I had resigned myself to never losing the âbaby weightâ but wanted to at least be able to make it through the day without needing multiple coffees. Courtney dug deeper into my goals and lifestyle and came up with a nutrition plan for me. She provided interesting and relevant educational materials and was encouraging when I faced challenges. After 3 months, I am able to make it through my days with energy to spare, eating 600 calories more per day than when I started working with her, and have also lost 10 pounds. It sounds like magic but itâs science! Courtney values food as fuel for the body and soul and gave me so many tools and strategies to achieve my goals that success was inevitable. I highly recommend Vitality Nutrition!Â

I've been been a Crossfitter and runner for 10 years and thought I knew a thing or two about exercise nutrition. After four weeks of nutrition counselling with Vitality, I have a new outlook on eating. My food choices have expanded, my protein intake has doubled, and I'm no longer starving between meals.
Courtney's no shame and practical coaching style is refreshing and invigorating!!
I recommend her without reservation.
