On a Personal Note…
I live in Fayetteville with my husband, Eric and nine year old twins,
Colden and Annaliese. We have a newly adopted Chihuahua mix
puppy named, Paco.
I enjoy running marathons, hiking, camping, and cooking healthy
meals with my family using foods from our garden.

Nutritional Considerations
• “I hope I get to limit my food choices and never eat my favorite foods again…said
•
•
•
•
•
no one ever.”
My Philosophy…”Real Food for Real Results”
Begin your day with a big, 16oz glass of water – as soon as you get up – to jump
start your metabolism.
Eat/drink your breakfast/protein shake/bar within 2 hours of awakening – also to
jump start your metabolism.
Eat your calories during the first 12 hours that you are awake (i.e., 6am – 6pm).
Do not eat 2-3 hours before bedtime.
CNY Dietitian Consultants, Inc., NYS NP Conference June 5th, 2015
7
Nutritional Considerations, Cont.
• Try to limit your carbs at dinner, for example, focus on just protein and nonstarchy veg with a healthy fat.
• Optimize your metabolism by eating every 3-4 hours with protein distributed
evenly throughout the day. Aim for at least 10gms of protein at a snack and
20-30gms at a meal.
• Always combine carbohydrate (fruit or starch) with a protein.
• Optimal ratios: 45% carb/25% pro/30% fat
CNY Dietitian Consultants, Inc., NYS NP Conference June 5th, 2015
8
General Rules of Thumb
• Limit carbs to one choice at a meal and keep this portion to 100-150 calories
(men can have two choices per meal). One choice is a 100 calorie sandwich
thin or 1/3 cup of cooked pasta.
• If you are still hungry, you can always eat more protein or non-starchy veg
(ex- turkey and cheese roll-up or carrots). Just not more starch, for example,
another helping of mashed potatoes.
• Protein bar and shake guidelines: <200 cals (<250 cals for men), min of
15gms of protein, and 3-5gms of fiber.
CNY Dietitian Consultants, Inc., NYS NP Conference June 5th, 2015
9
Exercise Nutritional Considerations
• You should eat 100-200 cals before 60 minutes of exercise, 25gms of carb to
sustain one hour of activity.
• For weight loss, replace only 1/3 – ½ of your calories burned.
• Consume these calories with a protein source within 30-45 minutes of
activity.
• Encourage patients to be moving every 20 minutes during the day, setting
their phone alarm if needed.
CNY Dietitian Consultants, Inc., NYS NP Conference June 5th, 2015
10
General Weight Management Guidelines
• For weight loss, weigh yourself once per week (on the same scale and at the
same time of day).
• For weight maintenance, weighing yourself daily is recommended.
• Consider 1-2 meal replacements/day for weight loss or weight maintenance.
Use the guidelines for protein bars/shakes given previously.
• Bottom line: Calories In and Calories Out!
• Accountability – food logging/exercise app
CNY Dietitian Consultants, Inc., NYS NP Conference June 5th, 2015
11
Calories
•
•
•
•
Most Women – 1200-1400 calories for weight loss
Most Men – 1500-1800 calories for weight loss
Going below 1000-1200 is not recommended – metabolism will slow down.
Evidence-based guidelines reveal that these calories should be consumed in
5-6 small meals/day to keep your metabolism stoked.
• Protein should also be distributed evenly throughout the day for maximum
utilization of amino acids for muscle tissue synthesis.
CNY Dietitian Consultants, Inc., NYS NP Conference June 5th, 2015
12
More on Calories…
• Measuring fruit and carb portions is essential to weight loss and weight
maintenance (ex – 4” banana or 1/2 cup sweet potato).
• Ensure 2 fruit servings and 4 non-starchy veg servings/day.
• “Trigger foods” – Know them and avoid them!
• Alcohol – can add a significant amount of unwanted calories and will stall
weight loss or promote weight gain. Encourage limitation to 1 drink/day for
women and 2 for men. Keep calories at 100-150/drink (ex – 12oz light beer
or 5oz glass of wine or 1.5 oz distilled spirits = 1 drink).
CNY Dietitian Consultants, Inc., NYS NP Conference June 5th, 2015
13
Protein
• Protein is imperative to maintaining lean body mass as lean protein is mostly
driven into muscles.
• Protein feeds muscle, and muscle drives metabolism.
• Your body will treat 100 cals of chicken breast much differently than 100 cals
of potato chips.
• Weight loss without adequate protein = muscle loss = drop in metabolism.
CNY Dietitian Consultants, Inc., NYS NP Conference June 5th, 2015
14
And Now for Carbohydrates…
• Gentle Reminder: Carbs are broken down and stored as glycogen in the liver.
Once we have maximized our glycogen stores, the remaining carbs are stored
as fat.
• Carbs are not evil! They are required for brain function and exercise
metabolism.
• We just eat too many! Portion control must be exuded.
• 45% Carb = 1200 calorie diet = 135gms/day & 1800 cals = 200gms/day

16
More on Carbs…
• Favor 100% whole wheat grains (whole wheat breads, wraps, brown rice)
• Choose good quality carbs: Beans, oatmeal, quinoa, sweet potatoes, etc.
• Limit or avoid liquid carbs/calories – fruit juices, sodas, sugary drinks.
CNY Dietitian Consultants, Inc., NYS NP Conference June 5th, 2015
17
Added Sugars
• Because sugar isn’t an essential nutrient and doesn’t have any nutritional value, it doesn’t
have an official recommendation. However, the American Heart Association set a
recommended limit, so you don’t get too many extra calories in your diet.
• The average American consumes around 22.2 teaspoons of added sugar every day, and both
the World Health Organization and the American Heart Association (AHA) note that we
should really be eating a fraction of that amount. The AHA says that adult women should
get 6 teaspoons (24 grams) of sugar per day, adult men 9 teaspoons (36 grams), and children
3 teaspoons (12 grams). For comparison, a can of soda can have 40 grams, or about 10
teaspoons of sugar.
• 1 tsp = 4gms of sugar = 16 calories (4 cals/gram)

How Many Grams of Sugar Per Day?
Natural sugar is part of any balanced diet. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables includes natural sugars and will provide a valuable
source of vitamins and minerals. These natural sugars are not the source of health problems; the added sugars are responsible for
the negative consequences of excess sugar in the diet.

The Problem…
• The FDA doesn't require that nutrition labels list the amount of naturally occurring sugars
separate from the amounts of added sugars, making daily intakes of added sugar difficult to
estimate!
• The AHA guidelines, published in a 2009 issue of the journal Circulation, make the point that
added sugars, such as high-fructose corn syrup or ordinary table sugar added to sodas,
breads, and other processed foods, are likely responsible for the increase in calorie
consumption and the subsequent rise in obesity of the past few decades.
• Bottom Line: You should avoid added sugars first and worry less about natural sugars
found in fruits (fructose), vegetables, low-fat dairy (lactose), and whole grains. These types
of foods give you a variety of vitamins, minerals and sometimes fiber, making them a
beneficial part of your diet -- unlike sugary snacks.
CNY Dietitian Consultants, Inc., NYS NP Conference June 5th, 2015
20
Fats
• Limit to 3-4 portions/day
• Decrease your saturated fat (think butter and whole fat dairy) and replace
with light butter, low-fat dairy.
• Increase mono-unsaturated fats – avocados, olive oil, nuts, and nut butters.
• Portion control must also be exuded here (1 Tbsp of peanut butter or oil =
100 cals!).
CNY Dietitian Consultants, Inc., NYS NP Conference June 5th, 2015
21
Importance of Water
• Encourage 64oz of plain water on top of any other beverages.
• Can add lemon, watermelon, mint, blueberries, or other fresh fruit (fruit
infusers).
• Can add non-caloric flavor inhancers.
• Carbonated beverages, coffee/tea (even decaf), iced tea, diet soda, etc., do
not count toward the 64oz of water.
CNY Dietitian Consultants, Inc., NYS NP Conference June 5th, 2015
22
Exercise
• Incredibly important for overall health and well-being.
• Lowers blood glucose, blood pressure, cholesterol, and can aid in the
treatment of depression.
• More important in weight maintenance than in weight loss!
• Incorporate resistance work, strength training and interval training to build
metabolically-active lean muscle.
CNY Dietitian Consultants, Inc., NYS NP Conference June 5th, 2015
23
You Can Lead a Horse to Water…
• I know what to eat, BUT…
• The Meanings of Food
• Factors affecting food choices:
• Biological – Nutritional needs, Heredity, Physiological Conditions (e.g., pregnancy),
Diseases, Taste Preferences, etc.
• Environmental – Geography, Climate, Economics, Transportation, etc.
• Cultural – Education, Income, Traditions, Beliefs, Values, etc.
CNY Dietitian Consultants, Inc., NYS NP Conference June 5th, 2015
24
Why Is Counseling So Important?
• We know the facts, but facts do not equal change!
• The Problem-Solving Counseling Method – Typical approach
• Transtheoretical Model/Stages of Change Theory (SOCT)
(Prochaska and DiClemente, 1970s and 1980s)
• Change does not occur in one step
• Progress through stages along the way
• Couple this with Motivational Interviewing (MI)
CNY Dietitian Consultants, Inc., NYS NP Conference June 5th, 2015
25
Precontemplation
• Not ready yet to make change – I may consider “Nutritional Change Motivation
Worksheet”
• Counseling Objectives:
• Convey acceptance and create a supportive environment – establishment of therapeutic
rapport is imperative here!
• Determine patient’s perception of the problem – “I’m here because my doctor told me to
come.”
• Increasing awareness of the patient’s need to change – consider positive aspects of change.
• Assessing current knowledge and motivation – discuss what, if anything, the patient is
willing to work on.
CNY Dietitian Consultants, Inc., NYS NP Conference June 5th, 2015
26
Contemplation
• Patient is considering the change!
• Counseling Objectives:
• Identify barriers to change and offer possible solutions
• Identify problematic behaviors
• Work through ambivalence
• Goal setting – baby steps
• Assess continued motivation to make changes
CNY Dietitian Consultants, Inc., NYS NP Conference June 5th, 2015
27
Preparation
• Patient has decided to take action!
• Counseling Objectives:
• Assess knowledge
• Discuss previous attempts to change and ways to succeed this time
• Reinforce skills to help achieve goals
• Affirm the importance of small steps
CNY Dietitian Consultants, Inc., NYS NP Conference June 5th, 2015
28
Action!
• Patient is taking steps toward change
• Counseling Objectives:
• Reinforce decision to change and promote self-confidence
• Assist in developing an action plan
• Help patients identify a support system/non-food related rewards
• Provide education, feedback and problem-solving advice – ask permission first!
• Set goals
CNY Dietitian Consultants, Inc., NYS NP Conference June 5th, 2015
29
Maintenance
• Patients have maintained their behavior for at least 6 months
• Counseling Objectives:
• Discuss relapse prevention and coping mechanisms
• Further identification of non-food rewards
• Continue to provide education with permission
• Plan follow-ups to support changes
CNY Dietitian Consultants, Inc., NYS NP Conference June 5th, 2015
30
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
• Technique for enhancing motivation for behavior change
• Makes patient feel validated and empowered to make changes
• Four Basic Principles:
• Express Empathy – Actively listen and seek to understand patient’s point of view without
criticism. Reflective listening is the most fundamental principle of MI.
• Develop “Discrepancies” – Discuss pros and cons of both current behaviors and new,
healthier behaviors.
• “Rolling” with Resistance – Reframe resistance and ambivalence as normal; collaboratively
negotiate solutions.
CNY Dietitian Consultants, Inc., NYS NP Conference June 5th, 2015
31
Motivational Interviewing, Cont.
• Support Self-Efficacy – Reflect positive attributes that will support change
and increase motivation to change behavior. Affirmation starts with “you.”
Such as , “I am really proud of you.”

Tips for Dealing with Patients in Denial
• Remember: Denial is a defense mechanism!
• Don’t “should” on patients or they will “should” on themselves. There are
no absolutes.
• Ask open-ended questions,
• “Tell me more about…”
• “Help me understand…”
• To what extent,…”
CNY Dietitian Consultants, Inc., NYS NP Conference June 5th, 2015
33
Tips for Dealing with Patients in Denial, Cont.
• Closed questions put patients on the defense:
• “Did you…?”
• “Will you…?”
• “Can you…?”
• “Is it…?”
CNY Dietitian Consultants, Inc., NYS NP Conference June 5th, 2015
34
Tips for Dealing with Patients in Denial, Cont.
• Providing Information
• Try not to provide too much at one time
• Ask for permission: “It it’s OK with you, I would like to tell you more about some
other ways to…” or “Would you like to hear about a few things that have worked for
other people in your situation?”
• Distribute printed materials
CNY Dietitian Consultants, Inc., NYS NP Conference June 5th, 2015
35
Tips for Dealing with Patients in Denial, Cont.
• Expect patients to direct their anger toward you – do not react or argue
• “Tough love” does not work – you may never hear from them again
• Assure patients that recommendations will not harm them and explain treatment
will lessen severity of symptoms/prevent further problems
• Get family members involved upfront for support and recommend support groups
• End your meetings on a positive note – summarize, instill self-confidence and ask,
“Is there anything I missed?” or “Is there anything you want to add or correct?”

When to Refer Out
•
•
•
•
•
•
When patients keep coming back and no progress has been made
For example, I share clients with a therapist
When patients just aren’t “getting it.”
Consider a referral to a Registered Dietitian
