Eating disorders are serious health conditions that can be both physically and emotionally destructive. People with eating disorders need to seek professional help. Early diagnosis and intervention may enhance recovery. Eating disorders can become chronic, debilitating, and even life-threatening conditions.
When you begin to notice that disordered eating habits are affecting your life, your happiness, and your ability to concentrate, it is important that you talk to somebody about what you’re going through.
The most effective and long-lasting treatment for an eating disorder is some form of psychotherapy or psychological counseling, coupled with careful attention to medical and nutritional needs by an RD and MD. At PR Nutrition Consulting, the treatment is tailored to the individual and will vary according to both the severities of the disorder and the patient’s particular problems, needs, and strengths.
A sound, comprehensive nutrition plan helps you to compete at optimal performance. It allows you to be stronger and faster. It supports health and prevents illness. If you’re an athlete, your body is your vehicle. It needs maintenance – and it needs fuel. Are you filling your tank or running on empty?
According to studies, athletes are often at one of two ends of the spectrum: Either they rely on supplements, potions and powders to make up for nutrition deficits in their diet, or they’re completely indifferent to their food and drink intake.

Whether you are a competitive athlete or a weekend warrior with a drive to succeed, fueling and hydrating your body the right way at the right time are large predictors of your success.

The gastric bypass diet is designed for people who are recovering from gastric bypass surgery to help them heal and change their eating habits. A gastric bypass diet specifies what type and how much food you can eat at each meal. Closely following your gastric bypass diet can help you lose weight safely. This diet has several phases with specific guidelines to follow closely, along with detailed timing of supplementation.
The gastric bypass diet has several purposes:
• To allow the staple line in your stomach to heal without being stretched by the food you eat
• To get you accustomed to eating the smaller amounts of food that can be digested comfortably and safely in your smaller stomach
• To help you lose weight and avoid gaining excess weight
• To avoid side effects and complications
Most insurance companies will require 3-6 month nutrition counseling by a registered and licensed dietitian prior to surgery. At PR Nutrition Consulting, we work closely with your surgeon and their recommendations to provide an optimal nutrition plan throughout this process.
