DITCH THE DIET

"I have been through many programs over the years on my journey to try and lose weight and eat healthy. I can honestly say this is the first class I’ve taken where I didn’t feel guilty or ashamed. Your class offered support, ideas, and encouragement in a way that made me feel happy to be there and kept me motivated. I would recommend this class to anyone feeling they could use help getting on track and wanting some fresh ideas."

“This Challenge totally exceeded my expectations. I think I’m pretty informed about health and nutrition matters — but there is always more to learn. I was reminded of how important it is to eat all the colors of the rainbow. Melissa told us about phytonutrients and what each color food does for our bodies. I couldn’t wait to include more colors in my meals! I finally learned the formula for proper hydration based on my weight — now I carry a 32 oz. container with me everywhere. I’m actually happy to hydrate cause I know how essential it is — it also makes me eat less! Melissa talks about food and health, and fitness with love. She doesn’t judge and talks about eating not-too-healthy yummy things like it’s a natural part of life. How refreshing!”

"Melissa is positive, knowledgeable, motivating, and non-judgemental. She is instrumental in reframing my approach to food, focusing on a balance of healthy fats, carbs, and protein to stabilize my blood glucose. I would not be where I am on this journey without her assistance. I highly recommend her as a dietitian."

"Melissa Halas has made all the difference in my journey towards better health. After dieting for years, I’ve finally been able to lose weight and keep it off thanks to Melissa’s thoughtful and well-researched plan for me. Her advice and expertise changed the way I thought about food and how I nourish my body. It’s not magic – just simple adjustments and strategies that lead to better eating patterns. Melissa is also kind, funny and so incredibly well informed about everything in her field. I highly recommend working with her to achieve your health goals."

"One of the best decisions I've made regarding my health is working with Melissa. My physician was so impressed with my recent blood work that he allowed me to discontinue statins due to implementing Melissa's dietary and lifestyle suggestions. I am incredibly grateful to have found Melissa and have her as a permanent member of my health team. With serious thanks and appreciation!"
