Holistic Solutions for Weight Management

Are you struggling with weight management? Having trouble losing those last ten pounds, or has your weight been creeping up? Stuck in a plateau with your current nutrition/exercise routine? Frustrated and confused by conflicting information about nutrition & weight loss?

My business partner (therapeutic chef Karen Diggs) and I are hosting a talk in downtown San Francisco on May 23rd just for you!

This is the first in a series of free presentations to educate the community about nutrition, exercise, and other lifestyle issues that impact our health and wellness.

No fads, no shortcuts. Just real facts and practical advice for weight loss, for real and practical results!

It’s often difficult to know what foods to eat and which to avoid. Eating the wrong types of foods, even those we’ve been told are “healthy,” can lead to weight gain and accelerated stress levels, causing us to feel crappy and age more quickly.

In this talk, Karen & I will address a few of many important topics regarding weight management and correct some common misconceptions that are propagated throughout the food industry. We’ll share our top 3 secrets for weight loss, including how to jump-start a successful weight loss plan and which “health foods” you need to ditch. We’ll even serve a healthy snack! Personal trainer Pete Kinkaid will talk briefly about how exercise complements nutrition.

When: Wednesday, May 23, 7-8:30pm
Where: Body Mastery Strength Training, 735 Montgomery Street, Suite 330
Cost: FREE!
Please email info@maryvancenc.com to register. I’d also be glad to answer any questions you may have. See you there!

There is so much conflicting information circulating about nutrition that it can be difficult to know what to believe. The Nutrition Divas are here to break it down for you. In this tele-seminar, we are going to discuss the top most popular health myths. Learn which popular food is NOT a magic bullet health food and can actually be harmful; which popular food group is not part of a healthy diet (and can actually cause weight gain); which macronutrient has been mercilessly and unfairly demonized — you NEED this for good health; and which popular cooking oil is not the healthy omega 3 rich source it’s claimed to be. Plus, as always, we’ll leave time for Q&A at the end of the call, so bring questions about anything you’d like debunked!
