Straight from Teri:

How have you benefited from using Nutriworks’ services?
The #1 benefit of working with Eve has been for me to establish eating habits which are both healthy and satisfying while achieving my body composition, performance and energy goals simultaneously. The keys for me are habit and schedule.

How long have you been working with Eve?
About 4 months.

What are the most noted results you have experienced?
Before the racing season began, I had already experienced an epiphany of sorts – my energy was more balanced and I felt not only physical but also mental sharpness much more consistently day to day, and throughout the day. This is extremely important to me because I am a Mother first, an Engineering Manager, and in my spare time I strive to become a better athlete. These results had already sold me on staying committed to my nutrition.
In conjunction with this, Eve recorded improved body composition at each follow-up meeting. As I hoped, I was feeling better and getting leaner.
In the racing season, by incorporating eNutriCoaching with my Playtri coaching, I have already set two personal records and finally achieved my goal of winning my age group in a sprint triathlon race. I know that nutrition is a crucial piece of my fitness puzzle.

What has been your favorite part about using eNutriCoaching?
I have enjoyed getting the weekly feedback and support from Eve while on the eNutriCoaching plan. Each week she has a new idea for me to try or some advice to improve upon something I’m already doing. I look forward to the weekly pep talk which really helps me stay motivated and not get lazy about my nutrition. She holds me accountable yet keeps it very positive.

How has your daily intake and training nutrition changed and how do you think that has helped you reach your goal?
I have a had love/hate relationship with food for many years. I’ve struggled with nutritional fads which didn’t take into account my energy needs as an athlete and training plans that didn’t take into account nutrition. My inability to find balance with food and to really figure out what I need to be consuming day to day has caused me a lot of stress over the years. Eve considers all aspects of my lifestyle and helps me to find solutions that are realistic on race day and, more importantly, every day.
Figuring out when to eat was a big hurdle for me. Eve has helped me to schedule my meals both weekdays and weekends to achieve balanced energy every day. She also helped me to understand how different foods affect me. I have invested time, with Eve’s guidance, in finding meals that provide my body with a healthy mix of carbs, proteins and fats from varied sources that work for me. I am more confident in the nutritional value of the meals I cook at home, as well as the meals I chose when I cannot cook at home. On top of all that, Eve has guided me with specific workout/race nutrition to help me achieve my athletic goals.

Would you use the service again?
I would absolutely use Eve’s service again. I have shared my experiences with many friends and fellow athletes. As my athletic goals evolve to include more challenging and longer races, I have every intention of continuing to seek Eve’s advice to help me achieve those goals.
