The food that you eat directly affects your mood, your energy levels, your ability to concentrate, your mental acuity, and your athletic performance. Consequently, healthy eating can improve your physical and mental well-being.

Fit Health into Life does not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to "diet." Because each of us is unique and our dietary requirements differ, we give you the tools to help you make the best possible choices. Instead of the spa dictating what goes on your plate, you choose what you want to eat, while learning to eat mindfully.

We provide you with sound nutrition information, based on scientific research, and we empower you to create a food plan that works for you. We believe that you are your own best expert because only you can determine which foods are most satisfying, which foods cause discomfort, and when you experience hunger and fullness. Our goal is to bring your attention to the foods that you choose to nourish your body, and to increase your awareness of how your body responds to the nutrition that you provide.

Each day at Fit Health into Life, we consume all three meals as a group. We eat breakfasts at our host hotel, lunches on the hiking trails, and dinners at excellent nearby restaurants. Whether your goal is weight loss or fueling your workouts, you can choose from a variety of nutritious and delicious foods in the amount that you personally require.

Rather than conduct formal lectures, we practice "mindful eating" at one meal, we discuss healthy eating over breakfast, and we navigate restaurant menus each evening before dinner. Eating and hiking with a registered dietitian, participants have ample opportunity ask questions and learn about dining out healthfully, controversial issues in nutrition, the psychology of eating, fad diets, etc. In addition, we offer an interactive supermarket tour for those interested in improving the nutritional quality of the food they purchase.

If you are interested in weight loss, we can help you achieve your goal. Instead of creating an artificial atmosphere where you consume a very low calorie diet, we provide you with the necessary tools to make gradual but significant dietary modifications that you can use to transform your life. Ours is not a program that you are "on" and then "off." We are committed to helping you shed pounds permanently in the healthiest, most-effective way, which is gradually. Diets don't work. Gradual changes are the only changes that work for the long term.

At Fit Health into Life, registered dietitians are available for private nutrition consultations.  This a la carte service is appropriate for those who want an individualized, take-home plan for healthy eating. Whether you are interested in increasing your energy levels, controlling your weight, preventing disease, or maintaining your general health and well-being, a registered dietitian works with you to create a practical, balanced food plan that meets your needs. First, you tell the dietitian about your goals and your lifestyle. Then, the dietitian calculates your individual dietary needs based on your gender, height, weight, age, and the amount of physical activity in which you engage.  Together, you and the dietitian will personalize a meal plan that fits your lifestyle, addresses your concerns, and allows you to reach your goals.
